Replaces the raw package modules at 76 call sites with package_install, moves each role's distribution mapping into its own meta/packages.yml, and turns the inventory PACKAGES variable from source-keyed literal names into a list of declared package ids. The lint that forbids the raw modules is enabled here, because the migration burns it down from 76 offenders to zero. Removes sys-aur, sys-aur-install and sys-package. The AUR build user, the passwordless pacman rule and the inventory-driven install are part of the plan the action plugin executes, so the roles no longer carry them. Declaring the mappings surfaced breakage the raw modules had hidden: on Debian the `which` binary comes from debianutils, jrnl is in no Debian or Ubuntu suite, chromium-browser is absent from Debian stable, JDK 11 is unobtainable on RedHat, wireguard had no RedHat branch at all, qbittorrent was built from the AUR although Arch ships it in extra, and desk-docker installed a Docker variant that conflicts with the one sys-svc-container installs.

Development Utilities
Description
Visual Studio Code is a powerful source code editor with a wide plugin ecosystem, supporting development workflows across many languages and platforms. See also the Arch Wiki - Development Tools and general Software Engineering on Wikipedia.
Overview
This role builds upon core workstation and package management components to deliver a clean, editor-ready base for developers. It installs core tools and editors necessary to begin building, editing, and managing source code projects.
Cosmos
The diagram places Development Utilities in the Infinito.Nexus cosmos: the components it deploys (capabilities), the central services it consumes (dependencies), and its outward reach (federation and bridged external networks).

Solid 1:1 edges are fixed relationships; dashed 0..1 edges are conditional (enabled only in matching deployments). Node markers show the role's deploy modes (💻 host, 🐳 compose, 🐝 swarm); ❌ marks a service that is explicitly turned off, and ⚙️ an Ansible role dependency declared in meta/main.yml.
Purpose
To reduce setup time and ensure consistency across developer workstations, this role prepares a functional and extensible foundation for software engineering work.
Features
- Installs Visual Studio Code: A powerful code editor with a wide plugin ecosystem.
- Extensible Design: Acts as a base layer for more specific development stacks (e.g., web, Python, embedded).
- Persona Integration: Serves as a reusable foundation for developer-focused workstation bundles.
