Removes the dependency on the community.general collection which was producing a warning about not supporting the installed Ansible version. Uses npm install --prefix directly instead. https://claude.ai/code/session_01Vm5EEsQ5uFKoni6qWEDQd8
Runs the full playbook (minus macOS-only launch agents) on ubuntu-latest: syntax check then an actual apply. Installs Neovim, Python 3.11, and virtualenv so the neovim setup tasks (pip venv, Lazy sync, treesitter) can run too. https://claude.ai/code/session_01Vm5EEsQ5uFKoni6qWEDQd8

uv run ansible-playbook fails in CI because ansible-core is not installed as a project dependency. Switch to uvx --from ansible-core which auto-installs ansible-core in an isolated environment. https://claude.ai/code/session_01Aitqk4swbLaSiz16qaJrTv
These files are not checked into git, so the CI had to create stubs just to prevent symlink failures. Simpler to manage them outside ansible since they are local-only configuration. https://claude.ai/code/session_01Aitqk4swbLaSiz16qaJrTv
- Use python3 -m venv instead of virtualenv for venv creation, removing the virtualenv dependency and the pip install step from CI - Add force: true to symlink task so existing files (e.g. .bashrc, .gitconfig on Ubuntu runners) get replaced with symlinks https://claude.ai/code/session_01Aitqk4swbLaSiz16qaJrTv
