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 Name
A brief description of the role goes here.
Requirements
Any pre-requisites that may not be covered by Ansible itself or the role should be mentioned here. For instance, if the role uses the EC2 module, it may be a good idea to mention in this section that the boto package is required.
Role Variables
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| dovecot_vhost | inventory_hostname | What mod_md certificate should be used for Dovecot |
| dovecot_quota | 1G | Default mail quota for users of the system |

Dependencies
A list of other roles hosted on Galaxy should go here, plus any details in regards to parameters that may need to be set for other roles, or variables that are used from other roles.
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 }
