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.

Group the shell helpers under scripts/github/ into five subfolders
that match how the workflow files consume them:
runner/ host-runner hygiene (disk, swap, Docker daemon, diagnostics)
cancel/ run cancellation on PR-close and branch-delete events
resolve/ derivation of workflow inputs and outputs from repo state
update/ scheduled Update: Versions pipeline
release/ release-time gates
Drop the now-redundant subfolder prefix from each filename, e.g.
dump_runner_state.sh becomes dump_state.sh and cancel_pull_request_runs.sh
becomes pull_request_runs.sh. Each subfolder carries a README that
describes its scope per documentation.md rules; the top-level README
points at the subfolders without inventorying files.
Propagate the new paths through ten workflow files, three docs
(workflow.md, pipeline.md, secrets.md), and two tests. Fix a real
runtime bug in enlarge_swap.sh, which still referenced the
pre-rename dump_runner_state.sh path. Extend the inline-block-size
lint hint to describe the new subfolder convention.
