categories.yml moves from roles/ to the repository-root meta/, joining packages.yml. utils/roles/categories.py owns its location plus the tree-walking helpers that were stranded in entity/name.py, so no caller spells the path or duplicates the lookup.
meta/distros.yml becomes the SPOT for every distribution: os_family, Galaxy platform name, dev-environment base image, and the pkgmgr/pkgmgr-virgin/environment reference templates. It replaces seven scattered copies (DISTRO_FAMILY, VALID_DISTROS, _DISTROS, _CANONICAL_PLATFORMS, two shell arrays, a Makefile literal). INFINITO_DISTROS is no longer a static default but generated by utils/env/handlers/infinito/distros.py; the shell consumers read it through the env layer.
Drops dead CLI surface found along the way: --categories-file and --roles-dir on the provision CLI plus three unused parameters of generate_dynamic_inventory, and the positional roles_file of the invokable categories command.
tests/lint/repository/test_distros_spot.py pins the copies that cannot call the SPOT (workflow literals, docs table) and forbids composing a pkgmgr reference outside it.

Resolve every 3+-file same-prefix group flagged by the new prefix lint
by moving the files into a subfolder named after the shared prefix and
dropping the prefix from the file names, updating all references:
- utils/env/handlers/infinito_*.py -> infinito/ (dir/, package_cache/
nested a second level); registry imports and the four handler-dir
globs switched to iter_project_files
- utils/install/lint/ansible_*.py -> ansible/ (aliased imports)
- roles/sys-svc-compose/files/swarm_*.{py,sh} -> files/swarm/
- web-app-erpnext/web-app-zammad files/scripts/apply_*.{py,rb} -> apply/
- web-app-odoo files/sql/{select,update}-* and sql/oidc/{grant,insert,
select,update}-* -> matching subfolders
- web-app-keycloak tasks/update/05_ldap*.yml -> 05_ldap/ (internal
includes made role_path-absolute)
- plugins/filter/get_*.py -> plugins/filter/get/ (filter names are the
filters() dict keys, so Jinja usage is unaffected; ansible discovers
the one-level-deep subdir)
Ansible lookup dirs, addon dirs and .github/workflows keep their flat
layout (the filename is the public id / GitHub only discovers flat).
Unit tests mirror the new source layout.
