-# Adapter function between the inventory.instances and the clan.service module

-# Data flow:
-# - inventory.instances -> Adapter -> clan.service module -> Service Resources (i.e. NixosModules per Machine, Vars per Service, etc.)
-#
-# What this file does:
-#
-# - Resolves the [Module] to an actual module-path and imports it.
-# - Groups together all the same modules into a single import and creates all instances for it.
-# - Resolves the inventory tags into machines. Tags don't exist at the service level.
-#   Also combines the settings for 'machines' and 'tags'.
