A row marked for the instructions replay gets `web-app-docs` appended to its
apps, and the planner hands every primary app the round's index. The host
therefore took the subject's index, which for a passenger is an arbitrary
shape. Measured in run 36558500327: the same appended role deployed
dashboard, matomo, prometheus and css in 141 tasks on a round-0 row and in
none at all on a round-1 row, purely because of whose round it was riding.
The README's Production block describes the bare role, so the host now takes
its smallest variant in every round. The index comes from `smallest_variant`
rather than a literal, so it follows `meta/variants.yml` instead of drifting
from it.
The row names the host in an environment variable. `--apps app#variant` would
have read better at the call site but needs a new matrix column in both
`axes.py` and `cli/meta/ci/plan.py`, while the deploy CLI already reads
`disable` from the environment and the four shell layers between the workflow
and the CLI pass it through untouched.
A pinned app no longer counts toward the round total: a passenger should not
lengthen the subject's sweep. That removes an unreachable round rather than
coverage, because `deployed_rounds` plans one app at a time and a role with
one variant therefore only ever yields `variant: 0` rows, which the workflow
pins on every deploy.
The host is left alone when it is also the subject. `web-app-docs` carries the
replay on its own rows too, where the apps list reads `web-app-docs,
web-app-docs` and the round index is the entire point of the sweep.

Thread a single `variant` selector (CSV) end-to-end so CI can split a
role's matrix deploy across runners.
- variant_select.py (SPOT, shared by init + deploy): one --variant taking
a CSV (2 pins one round, 0,1,2 is a runner bundle, empty = full matrix);
replaces the old separate --variant/--variants.
- planner.filter_plan_to_variants filters the plan to a round subset.
- CI discovery (utils/github/variant_bundles.py) splits roles with more
than INFINITO_VARIANT_BUNDLE_SIZE (default 3) variants into bundles of
consecutive indices, one matrix runner each (5 -> 0,1,2 + 3,4), threaded
via the variant env. test-deploy-{local,universal,workstation,server}.yml
switch to matrix.include with a comma-free variant_slug for artifact/job
names (GitHub expressions have no replace()).
- runtime_budget honours INFINITO_VARIANT_TIME_OVERFLOW (cut|fail) when a
runner cannot finish its slice within INFINITO_MAX_RUNTIME.
Unit tests + docs (variants.md, deploy.md) included.
