Remove static inventory, use only dynamic libvirt inventory

Browse Source 
Remove static hosts.yml inventory file and configure pure dynamic
inventory discovery using community.libvirt.libvirt plugin.

Changes:

1. Removed Static Inventory:
   - Deleted inventories/development/hosts.yml
   - All host definitions now come from libvirt dynamic discovery
   - Complies with CLAUDE.md requirement for dynamic inventories

2. Updated libvirt_kvm.yml Dynamic Inventory:
   - Changed URI from local to remote: qemu+ssh://grok@grok.home.serneels.xyz/system
   - Configures automatic VM discovery from grokbox hypervisor
   - Creates dynamic groups: kvm_guests, running_vms, small_vms, large_vms
   - Creates keyed groups by state and OS
   - Extracts IP addresses from guest_info

3. Created Host Variables Override:
   - inventories/development/host_vars/pihole.yml
   - inventories/development/host_vars/mymx.yml
   - inventories/development/host_vars/derp.yml
   - Override ansible_connection from libvirt_qemu to ssh
   - Set ansible_host to IP addresses (192.168.122.x)

4. Updated Group Variables:
   - inventories/development/group_vars/kvm_guests.yml
   - Added ansible_connection: ssh to force SSH over libvirt
   - Maintains ProxyJump configuration through grokbox
   - SSH connection multiplexing settings preserved

5. Added .gitignore:
   - Exclude stats/ directory from version control
   - Prevents system_info role output from being committed

Dynamic Inventory Discovery:
- Automatically discovers VMs: pihole, mymx, derp
- Groups by state: running_vms, stopped_vms
- Groups by size: small_vms (≤2GB), medium_vms (2-8GB), large_vms (>8GB)
- Groups by OS: os_debian, os_unknown
- Creates UUID-based groups for unique identification

Connection Method:
- Discovery: libvirt plugin queries grokbox via SSH
- Execution: SSH with ProxyJump through grokbox
- Authentication: SSH keys (ansible user)
- Network: Private 192.168.122.0/24 via NAT

Testing Results:
✅ Dynamic inventory discovers all 3 VMs
✅ Groups created correctly (kvm_guests, running_vms, etc.)
✅ pihole: Connection successful via ProxyJump
⚠️  mymx, derp: SSH key authentication needed (not inventory issue)

Benefits:
- No manual inventory maintenance required
- VMs automatically added/removed based on libvirt state
- Dynamic grouping by resource allocation
- Centralized management through grokbox
- CLAUDE.md compliant (no static inventories in production-like envs)

Usage:
# List all discovered VMs
ansible-inventory -i inventories/development/ --graph

# Ping all KVM guests
ansible -i inventories/development/ kvm_guests -m ping

# Run playbook on running VMs
ansible-playbook -i inventories/development/ site.yml --limit running_vms

Migration Note:
The static inventory (hosts.yml) contained some hosts not managed
by libvirt (odin, seed). These external hosts need to be managed
via separate dynamic inventory sources or added back if required.
