kevinveenbirkenbach 1fb252fc7d refactor(inventories,roles): migrate util-* to bundle inventories and unify AUR handling
Migrates large parts of the legacy util-* role structure to inventory-driven
bundles and standardizes AUR installation via central system roles.

- Adds `web-svc-legal`, `web-svc-asset`, and `web-app-dashboard` to all server bundles.
- Removes `util-srv-corporate-identity` entirely.
- Introduces new workstation bundle inventories:
  `admin`, `admin-network`, `browser`, `design`, `dev-*`, `game-*`, `office`.
- Uses bundle variables `SYS_PACKAGES` and `SYS_AUR_PACKAGES` as the primary
  installation mechanism.
- Removes/replaces obsolete util-desk/util-dev roles where fully covered.
- Renames dev roles:
  `util-desk-dev-core` -> `dev-core`,
  `util-desk-dev-python` -> `dev-python`,
  `util-desk-dev-arduino` -> `dev-arduino`.
- Adds missing `application_id` vars for renamed roles.
- Removes the entire `util` section from `roles/categories.yml`.
- Replaces direct `kewlfft.aur.aur` calls in desktop/driver roles with
  a centralized wrapper role.
- Introduces new role `sys-aur-install` as AUR installation wrapper.
- Migrates `dev-yay` to `sys-aur` and adds `SYS_AUR_PACKAGES: []` default.
- Extends constructor stage:
  auto-load `sys-package` when `SYS_PACKAGES` is set,
  and `sys-aur` + `sys-aur-install` when `SYS_AUR_PACKAGES` is set.
- Cleans up stage loading:
  removes util-srv from `02_server.yml`,
  reduces workstation loading to `desk-roles.yml` + `drv-non-free`.
- Updates integration/unit tests for the new invokable and include behavior.
- Integration test now accepts static `include_tasks` references.
- Fixes recursion risk between `sys-aur` and `sys-aur-install` by setting
  `run_once_sys_aur` at the beginning of `sys-aur/tasks/01_core.yml`.

BREAKING CHANGE:
- `util-*` categories and bundle paths are no longer part of stage loading.
- Multiple `util-desk-*`, `util-dev-*`, and `util-srv-*` roles were removed.
- Deployment groups must be migrated to the new bundle/role naming.

Python Development Utilities 🐍

Description

This Ansible role sets up a Python development environment on Arch Linux. It includes Python itself, the pip package manager, and builds on the general developer persona to support scripting, application development, data science, and more.

Learn more at the Python Official Site, the Arch Wiki - Python, and Wikipedia – Python.

Overview

This role provides the essential tooling for Python developers, enabling immediate use of python and pip from the command line. It supports both general-purpose scripting and advanced software engineering workflows.

Purpose

To simplify and standardize the provisioning of Python-ready environments for developers, students, data scientists, and automation engineers.

Features

  • Installs Python and Pip: Ensures the interpreter and package manager are available.
  • Persona Integration: Extends dev-core with Python-specific tools.
  • Foundation for Further Stacks: Ideal starting point for Flask, Django, scientific computing, and automation.

Customization

Easily extend this role with:

  • Python virtualenv tools (python-virtualenv, pyenv)
  • Popular libraries (numpy, requests, flask)
  • Framework-specific roles (e.g., dev-python-django)
