Since the introduction of the synapse-usage-exporter role (55f869254, #3442), group_vars/matrix_servers was overriding matrix_synapse_report_stats_endpoint with an empty string whenever synapse-usage-exporter was disabled, clobbering the role's matrix.org default.
For deployments that enable matrix_synapse_report_stats, Synapse would then try reporting statistics to an empty URL, failing with:
> synapse.app.homeserver - 210 - WARNING - phone_stats_home-0 - Error reporting stats: Invalid URI b''
The default endpoint URL now lives in a dedicated matrix_synapse_report_stats_endpoint_default variable, which group_vars/matrix_servers falls back to when synapse-usage-exporter is not enabled.

None of these flags exist in current Synapse:
- msc3266_enabled: MSC3266 support was stabilized in Synapse v1.153.0 and the room summary API is now always enabled
- msc4140_enabled: this was never a Synapse configuration setting in any released version. Delayed events have always been controlled by the `max_event_delay_duration` setting, which the playbook was emitting alongside the flag. The toggle is now named `matrix_synapse_delayed_events_enabled`.
- msc4429_enabled: MSC4429 support has not landed in any released Synapse version, so this flag never had any effect

When no experimental features were enabled (e.g. Matrix RTC and Matrix Authentication Service both disabled), the generated homeserver.yaml contained `experimental_features: null`, which Synapse v1.157.0+ does not tolerate and crashes on startup.
The `experimental_features` configuration is now constructed via a dedicated `matrix_synapse_experimental_features` variable (split into `_default`, `_auto` and `_custom`, as is customary), which always yields a mapping (potentially an empty one).

With workers enabled, every Synapse process (the main one and each
worker) maintains its own database connection pool of up to
matrix_synapse_database_cp_max (default: 10) connections. The previous
fixed limit of 500 left little headroom on setups running many workers,
where exhausting it manifests as degraded performance and, reportedly,
E2EE misbehavior.
Size the limit as a 200-connection baseline (for everything else that
talks to Postgres) plus cp_max connections per Synapse process, never
going below the previous value of 500. The stock worker presets stay at
500; setups that raise worker counts (or cp_max) get a limit that grows
accordingly. The new matrix_synapse_workers_total_count variable
reflects what the matrix_synapse_workers_*_count variables ask for; it
does not reflect a manually populated
matrix_synapse_workers_enabled_list, and such setups should override
postgres_max_connections themselves.

Introduces the `matrix_synapse_experimental_features_msc4429_enabled`
variable (disabled by default), allowing Synapse to notify clients
using the legacy /sync endpoint of profile changes for other users.

Replaces `community.docker.docker_image` with the modern
`docker_image_pull` and `docker_image_build` split modules across all
four task files (synapse, reverse_proxy_companion, goofys,
rust-synapse-compress-state). Drops the `ansible_version` compatibility
ladder and removes four `_container_image_force_pull` variables (the new
pull module handles registry refresh natively via `pull: always`).
The Synapse self-build path uses `ansible.builtin.shell` for BuildKit
support and is left as-is. The customizations image build (which builds
on top of the locally-tagged synapse image) is converted to
`docker_image_build` with `pull: false`, preserving its existing
rebuild-trigger semantics.

Synapse v1.152 introduces a new `quarantined_media_changes` stream and
requires that any worker serving `/_synapse/admin/v1/quarantine_media/`
be declared as a writer for that stream. Otherwise quarantining media
fails on the worker.
Add `quarantined_media_changes` as a web-facing stream writer alongside
the other stream-backed APIs and route the admin endpoint via the same
explicit writer-or-main model used for `device_lists`, `thread_subscriptions`,
etc. The endpoint is removed from `matrix_synapse_workers_media_repository_endpoints`
so the old media-repository route does not shadow (or conflict with) the
new writer-or-main route. Without that move, the previously-shipping
default of routing `/quarantine_media` to the `media_repository` worker
would silently break after the v1.152.0 image bump.
Default count is 1 in the `one-of-each` and `specialized-workers` presets
(matching `device_lists`), and 0 in `little-federation-helper` (which
also has no media-repository worker, so falling back to main is fine).

compute matrix_synapse_s3_storage_provider_restart_necessary, and wire it
into group_vars/matrix_servers instead of hardcoding restart_necessary: true.

Add support for all server_notices settings documented by Synapse:
- room_avatar_url: optional avatar for the server notices room
- room_topic: optional topic for the server notices room
- auto_join: whether users are auto-joined instead of invited (default: false)

Some client API endpoints (e.g. keys/upload) are backed by Synapse stream writers and
should not rely on broad worker regexes or route-order fallthrough for correctness.
When explicit per-stream routing is missing, requests may be captured by generic, room, or client_reader workers, instead of:
- going to the configured stream writer
- or to `main` when that stream writer is not enabled
This refactors synapse-reverse-proxy-companion's routing so that web-facing stream-backed endpoint families
are handled explicitly and early, with deterministic writer-or-main fallback.
Add first-class support for the missing `device_lists` stream writer,
generalize the same routing model to `push_rules`,
and remove stale broad-route ownership for device-list-sensitive endpoints.
Add matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_ldap_tls_options_ca_certs_file
variable to allow specifying a custom CA certificate file for LDAP TLS
verification. Useful when Synapse is running in a container that does not
trust a private/internal CA by default.
Example usage:
matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_ldap_tls_options_ca_certs_file: /etc/ssl/certs/my-ca.crt
