categories.yml moves from roles/ to the repository-root meta/, joining packages.yml. utils/roles/categories.py owns its location plus the tree-walking helpers that were stranded in entity/name.py, so no caller spells the path or duplicates the lookup. meta/distros.yml becomes the SPOT for every distribution: os_family, Galaxy platform name, dev-environment base image, and the pkgmgr/pkgmgr-virgin/environment reference templates. It replaces seven scattered copies (DISTRO_FAMILY, VALID_DISTROS, _DISTROS, _CANONICAL_PLATFORMS, two shell arrays, a Makefile literal). INFINITO_DISTROS is no longer a static default but generated by utils/env/handlers/infinito/distros.py; the shell consumers read it through the env layer. Drops dead CLI surface found along the way: --categories-file and --roles-dir on the provision CLI plus three unused parameters of generate_dynamic_inventory, and the positional roles_file of the invokable categories command. tests/lint/repository/test_distros_spot.py pins the copies that cannot call the SPOT (workflow literals, docs table) and forbids composing a pkgmgr reference outside it.

Workflow Dependency Map
How the workflows under .github/workflows/ trigger and call each other.
Solid arrows: workflow_call (uses:) or job needs. Dotted arrows:
indirect coupling (CLI dispatch, shared concurrency group). Per-workflow
inputs and descriptions: workflows.md.

test-deploy-single-node-priority and test-deploy-swarm-priority run only
when the orchestrator's priority input is set; with it empty they are
skipped and the regular deploy jobs start directly. The regular jobs receive
the priority ids as blacklist, so each role deploys in exactly one line.
