I think “including, without limitation, […]” applies to the breadth of components, not depth, right? I mean, I’m not a lawyer, but that seems to be what syntactic context and logic indicate… no?
If you disagree, could you indicate the relevant text?

Your interpretation ignores the sentence “all such that a user could run an instance of the service using the service source code”. That just means they need to be able to run the service. Not have the exact same stack.
> “Service Source Code” means the Corresponding Source for the Program or the modified version, and the Corresponding Source for all programs that you use to make the Program or modified version available as a service, including, without limitation, management software, user interfaces, application program interfaces, automation software, monitoring software, backup software, storage software and hosting software, all such that a user could run an instance of the service using the Service Source Code you make available.
Basically it is saying you need to release the source of every tiny bit in your stack and then some.
