PKGMGR_REPO_URL / PKGMGR_REF were defined with `lookup('config', role_name, …)`.
The vars are referenced via `vars:` in pkgmgr's own task that does
`include_role: name: sys-util-git-pull`, and Ansible templates that `vars:`
block inside the included-role context — so `role_name` was already
`sys-util-git-pull` at evaluation time, not `pkgmgr`.
That produced a config lookup against `applications['sys-util-git-pull'].services.sys-util-git-pull.repository`,
which fails because sys-util-git-pull's services.yml declares the entity as
`util-git-pull` (no `sys-` prefix, per the established sys-* convention) and
has no `repository` key.
Hardcoding the application_id keeps the lookup immune to role_name drift no
matter where the var is referenced from.
