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.

System Utility: Git Pull (Shallow & Pinned)

Description

This Ansible role provides a robust, reusable Git pull utility for system automation. It performs shallow clones or updates of Git repositories and optionally pins the working tree to a specific tag (e.g. stable) in a detached HEAD state.

The role is designed to solve common automation pitfalls such as:

conflicting local tags (would clobber existing tag)
detached HEAD updates
annotated vs. lightweight tags
reliable change detection for Ansible

Internally, the role delegates complex Git logic to a small, well-tested Python helper script, keeping the Ansible YAML concise and readable.

Overview

This role:

Ensures a repository exists at a given destination
Clones the repository shallowly if it does not exist
Updates an existing repository in a detached-safe manner
Optionally removes conflicting local tags before fetching
Optionally pins the checkout to a specific tag (e.g. stable)
Marks the Ansible task as changed if:
- the repository was cloned
- tags were removed
- the pinned tag appeared for the first time
- the pinned tag moved on the remote (optional)

Purpose

The purpose of this role is to provide a generic, reusable Git pull primitive for other roles in the Infinito.Nexus ecosystem.

Typical use cases include:

installing tools pinned to a stable tag
reproducible system deployments
CI/CD-friendly shallow clones
avoiding fragile inline Git shell logic in roles

Features

Shallow Clone & Update (--depth)
Detached-safe Branch Updates
Optional Tag Pinning (e.g. stable)
Annotated Tag Support (tag^{})
Local Tag Conflict Healing
Deterministic changed_when Semantics
Verbose Debug Logging (stderr-only)

Design Notes

All human-readable logs go to stderr
Machine-readable state (CHANGED=…) is written to stdout
This guarantees reliable changed_when behavior in Ansible
The Python helper is intentionally self-contained and unit-testable
