Eliminate post-verification discovery and assert tasks (service_facts and package_facts) across all 19 roles and align AGENTS.md. Ansible's built-in declarative modules (package, service) already enforce target state natively and abort execution immediately on failure. The subsequent assertion loops were redundant, added significant runtime overhead, and produced false positives on non-service systemd units (.socket, .timer) and service aliases (e.g., dbus.socket failing under service_facts). - Remove service_facts and Assert Managed Services Are Active across 11 service roles (ensure_apache, ensure_cockpit, ensure_dbus, ensure_dovecot, ensure_fail2ban, ensure_firewalld, ensure_gitea, ensure_mariadb, ensure_podman, ensure_postfix, ensure_timezone). - Remove package_facts and Assert Managed Packages Are Installed across 8 package roles (ensure_ansible_prereq, ensure_git, ensure_os_patch, ensure_os_upgrade, ensure_repo_epel, ensure_repo_rpmfusion, ensure_rsync, ensure_vim). - Update AGENTS.md Section 8.2, Section 10, and Section 21 to codify declarative state enforcement and prohibit redundant post-task assertion loops.

Role Variables
A description of the settable variables for this role should go here, including any variables that are in defaults/main.yml, vars/main.yml, and any variables that can/should be set via parameters to the role.

Example Playbook
Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:
- hosts: servers
roles:
- { role: username.rolename, x: 42 }
