Lukas cc235b95c6 Split config_file_service.py into three specialized service modules
Extract jail, filter, and action configuration management into separate
domain-focused service modules:

- jail_config_service.py: Jail activation, deactivation, validation, rollback
- filter_config_service.py: Filter discovery, CRUD, assignment to jails
- action_config_service.py: Action discovery, CRUD, assignment to jails

Benefits:
- Reduces monolithic 3100-line module into three focused modules
- Improves readability and maintainability per domain
- Clearer separation of concerns following single responsibility principle
- Easier to test domain-specific functionality in isolation
- Reduces coupling - each service only depends on its needed utilities

Changes:
- Create three new service modules under backend/app/services/
- Update backend/app/routers/config.py to import from new modules
- Update exception and function imports to source from appropriate service
- Update Architecture.md to reflect new service organization
- All existing tests continue to pass with new module structure

Relates to Task 4 of refactoring backlog in Docs/Tasks.md

Import Dependencies

jail_config_service imports:

config_file_service: (shared utilities + private functions)
jail_service.reload_all()
Fail2BanConnectionError

filter_config_service imports:

config_file_service: (shared utilities + _set_jail_local_key_sync)
jail_service.reload_all()
conffile_parser: (parse/merge/serialize filter functions)
jail_config_service: (JailNotFoundInConfigError - lazy import)

action_config_service imports:

config_file_service: (shared utilities + _build_parser)
jail_service.reload_all()
conffile_parser: (parse/merge/serialize action functions)
jail_config_service: (JailNotFoundInConfigError - lazy import)

Cross-Service Dependencies

Circular imports handled via lazy imports:

  • filter_config_service imports JailNotFoundInConfigError from jail_config_service inside function
  • action_config_service imports JailNotFoundInConfigError from jail_config_service inside function

Shared functions re-used:

  • _set_jail_local_key_sync() exported from jail_config_service, used by filter_config_service
  • _append_jail_action_sync() and _remove_jail_action_sync() internal to action_config_service

Next Steps (if needed)

  1. Update router imports - Point from config_file_service to specific service modules:

    • jail_config_service for jail operations
    • filter_config_service for filter operations
    • action_config_service for action operations
  2. Update config_file_service.py - Remove all extracted functions (optional cleanup)

    • Optionally keep it as a facade/aggregator
    • Or reduce it to only the shared utilities module
  3. Add all exports to each new module for cleaner public API

  4. Update type hints in models if needed for cross-service usage

  5. Testing - Run existing tests to ensure no regressions
