- Generate resolv.conf from inventory DNS settings instead of copying
host file (Arch ISO has systemd-resolved stub 127.0.0.53)
- Add XFS compat options for GRUB 2.06 and kernel 5.14 across LVM
volumes, /boot partition, and data disks
- Mount API filesystems (proc, sys, dev) into chroot for RPM scriptlets
- Bypass GPG Sequoia validation with _pkgverify_level none
- Tolerate grub2-common scriptlet warnings
- Handle libvirt VM destroy gracefully during cleanup
The live ISO (Arch) caches ansible_pkg_mgr=pacman. After rebooting
into the target OS (e.g. Debian), package module fails because pacman
is not available. Re-gather minimal facts including pkg_mgr.
- Use bracket notation item['keys'] instead of item.keys to avoid
conflict with Python dict .keys() method
- Remove fastfetch from Debian 12 package list (only available in 13+)
- Set explicit python interpreter path for post-reboot tasks
VMware EFI firmware may not initialize all SCSI devices before GRUB
runs, preventing LVM assembly when the root LV spans multiple disks.
A separate /boot partition (the standard RHEL Anaconda layout) lets
GRUB load kernels without LVM; the kernel initramfs handles LVM
activation with proper device waiting.

The previous approach ran efibootmgr inside the chroot, which only works
with arch-chroot (auto-mounts efivars) but fails silently with
systemd-nspawn or plain chroot. Move EFI boot entry creation to the host
where efivars is always available.
Also fixes wrong EFI loader path (\efi\EFI\... -> \EFI\...) and uses
the correct vendor label (e.g. "redhat" instead of raw os variable).
For non-RHEL distros, grub-install now uses --no-nvram to avoid
redundant NVRAM writes; the host efibootmgr handles entry creation
for all distros uniformly with idempotent pre-check.
