Containers are created with `--rm`, so Docker removes them asynchronously after they stop.
The pre-start `docker rm` returns immediately while that removal is still in progress
(its error is suppressed), and the following `docker create --name` can fail with
"The container name ... is already in use".
This is easy to hit since systemd_service_manager switched its default restart mode to `all-at-once`:
many containers stop and start at the same time and Docker falls behind on removals.
The playbook then fails at "Restart systemd services needing restart at once",
even though the services recover on their own (`Restart=always`) a little later.
The external roles (MASH, devture) were hardened against this in 2026-03
(see mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-valkey@0ba79c0), but the roles in `roles/custom` never were.
This ports the same bounded cleanup loop to them: stop, force-remove,
and wait until Docker releases the name, failing explicitly after a timeout.

Part of adopting a uniform naming policy for bridge variables,
where the variable prefix matches the role directory name.

Add the matrix-rustpush-bridge role, a Matrix <-> iMessage bridge built
on the mautrix-go bridgev2 framework using RustPush (OpenBubbles backend).
Unlike the existing mautrix-imessage/wsproxy bridge, it talks directly to
Apple's push notification service, so it needs neither a running Mac nor a
wsproxy on the homeserver. Each user supplies a hardware key extracted from a
Mac through the bridge bot's login flow.
The bridge uses its own bot username and puppet namespace (rustpushbot,
rustpush_*) so it does not collide with the wsproxy iMessage bridge.
This bridge is in early development and may have stability issues.
