At -vvv Ansible prints each module argument and result, so a password in
a command line, a request body, a header or a fact lands in the deploy
log. Nothing enforced masking outside the MCP task files, and no check
looked at parents at all.
A new lint, test_credential_tasks_are_masked, finds tasks whose printed
parts (module arguments, environment, loop) reference an identifier ending
in password, secret, token, api_key or private_key, or
secrets.credentials. A task passes when it or an enclosing block sets
no_log, when every file that pulls it in does so through include_tasks
with apply.no_log or import_tasks with no_log (transitively), when the
secret only reaches a parameter the module masks itself, or when the
module masks its values. no_log on an include_tasks task itself does not
count, because it does not reach the included tasks. The rule can be
suppressed per task with `# nocheck: credential-masking`, now listed in
the suppression catalog, and the lint tests its parent and suppression
logic on synthetic cases.
It found 39 unmasked tasks in 19 roles, all real: join tokens, client
secrets, API tokens in Cloudflare headers, database passwords in
command lines, the ChatGPT bot login body and more. Each now sets
no_log from MASK_CREDENTIALS_IN_LOGS. The sys-dns-hetzner-rdns alias
hetzner_no_log, which only restated that switch, is gone.
Not covered yet: template and copy tasks whose rendered file carries a
secret print it as a diff under --diff.

Replaces the raw package modules at 76 call sites with package_install, moves
each role's distribution mapping into its own meta/packages.yml, and turns the
inventory PACKAGES variable from source-keyed literal names into a list of
declared package ids. The lint that forbids the raw modules is enabled here,
because the migration burns it down from 76 offenders to zero.
Removes sys-aur, sys-aur-install and sys-package. The AUR build user, the
passwordless pacman rule and the inventory-driven install are part of the plan
the action plugin executes, so the roles no longer carry them.
Declaring the mappings surfaced breakage the raw modules had hidden: on Debian
the `which` binary comes from debianutils, jrnl is in no Debian or Ubuntu
suite, chromium-browser is absent from Debian stable, JDK 11 is unobtainable on
RedHat, wireguard had no RedHat branch at all, qbittorrent was built from the
AUR although Arch ships it in extra, and desk-docker installed a Docker variant
that conflicts with the one sys-svc-container installs.

Add tests/lint/repository/test_task_file_numbering.py: numbered task
files use exactly two leading digits, a numbered *_core.yml must be
00_core.yml, per directory the numbers are unique/consecutive and start
at 01 (00 with a core file), numbered includes appear in ascending
order, and shared helpers live in tasks/utils/ instead of the numbered
chain.
Apply it across every role: rename NN_core.yml to 00_core.yml with a
consecutive down-shift of the siblings, move letter-suffix children into
a subdirectory named after their parent task, relocate helpers included
from more than one place into tasks/utils/, and update every reference
(include_tasks, path_absolute, .ansible-lint-ignore, requirement docs).
Legacy narration comments in the touched files are deleted; the upstream
xwiki.properties reference block opts out via nocheck. The unused
MAILU_IP6_PUBLIC var (only ever named in now-removed comments) is dropped.
