This test scans all roles/*/meta/main.yml for meta dependencies that are
likely unnecessary and could be replaced with guarded include_role/import_role
calls to improve performance.
A dependency is flagged as unnecessary when:
- The consumer role does not use provider variables in defaults/vars/handlers
(no early variable requirement), and
- Any usage of provider variables or handler notifications in tasks occurs
only after an explicit include/import of the provider in the same file,
or there is no usage at all.
Purpose:
Helps reduce redundant parsing/execution of roles and improves Ansible
performance by converting heavy global dependencies into conditional,
guarded includes where possible.
