kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5 7bc12e55f3 fix(docs): drop the generated sections the designer merge put back
aceb5295ef moved Cosmos, Quick Setup and Credits out of the committed role
READMEs and into the documentation build's own scratch checkout, so a
committed copy can no longer go stale when the metadata moves. Merging
feature/designer (ebad39422c) took origin/main's side of those files, which
still carries them, and reinstated all 290 along with the cosmos make target
and its i8cos alias. tests/lint/ansible/roles/test_readme.py hard-fails on a
committed copy, and the reinstated Credits block credited one person with two
URLs, which tripped the credits-attribution lint as well.

Stripped with the repository's own fence-aware parser against
MANAGED_SECTIONS, not with a line filter: the Cosmos block holds a mermaid
fence a naive filter would cut through. The result is byte-identical to
aceb5295ef for every README that carries no prose change since.

The cosmos target wrote the forbidden section straight back into the
checkout, so it goes with them.

Locales

This Ansible role manages the system locale configuration by deploying locale.gen and locale.conf, then generating the requested locales.

Description

  • Copies your locale.gen template to /etc/locale.gen
  • Copies your locale.conf template to /etc/locale.conf
  • Runs locale-gen to generate and activate configured locales

Overview

  1. Template deployment
    • locale.gen: uncomment or specify the locales you need
    • locale.conf: sets LANG and LANGUAGE environment variables
  2. Locale generation
    • Executes the locale-gen command (requires privilege escalation)
  3. Idempotency
    • Templates are only reapplied if changed
    • locale-gen only re-runs when the template changes

Features

  • Full control over uncommented locales in locale.gen
  • Simple override via templates in your role directory
  • Works on any system supporting locale-gen
