techdufus Ansible and managed-configuration verification
Demonstrate effective state with the evidence that is safe and applicable:
- Apply the changed role or playbook when applicable, then confirm a subsequent run is idempotent.
- Inspect the exact managed configuration value or the resulting runtime behavior.
- For a bug fix, a reproduction showing that the original failure is gone may provide the needed proof.
If a dependency needed for this scoped verification is unavailable, report that limitation honestly.
Not enough by itself
- A syntax check.
- An unrelated broad test suite.
- A successful file write or formatter run.
- YAML that merely looks valid.
