Roles declared under meta/main.yml dependencies now appear on both the Dependencies and Dependents side, labelled with the glossary gear symbol and connected by a fixed 1:1 edge; the legend explains it.

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.
