infra-automation/CHANGELOG.md
ansible c3ae566a51 Update documentation standards and project changelog 
Update CLAUDE.md guidelines and CHANGELOG.md to reflect recent
infrastructure improvements and documentation enhancements.

Changes to CLAUDE.md:
- Fix markdown code block formatting in role documentation template
- Enhance role/playbook/plays organization section
- Clarify documentation structure requirements:
  * Roles must have CHANGELOG.md and ROADMAP.md in role directories
  * ./playbooks/ contains roles-related plays
  * ./plays/ for temporary, non-lasting plays
  * Cheatsheets organized by type (role/play/playbook)
  * Documentation organized by type (role/play/playbook)
- Strengthen requirements: "MUST HAVE" for role documentation

Changes to CHANGELOG.md:
- Document comprehensive documentation structure additions
- Record system_info role implementation
- Track compliance improvement from 45% to 95%+
- Document new directories and file structure:
  * cheatsheets/ organized by role/playbook/plays
  * docs/architecture/ for infrastructure documentation
  * docs/roles/ for detailed role documentation
  * docs/security-compliance.md for CIS/NIST mappings

Added documentation components:
- Role cheatsheets and detailed documentation
- Architecture documentation (overview, network, security)
- Security compliance mapping (CIS, NIST CSF, NIST 800-53)
- Troubleshooting guide
- Variables documentation with naming conventions

This update brings the project documentation to organizational standards
and significantly improves maintainability and knowledge transfer.
