## Risk Assessment
### High Risks
| Risk | Probability | Impact | Mitigation |
|------|-------------|--------|------------|
| derp VM unrecoverable | LOW | HIGH | Rebuild using deploy_linux_vm role |
| LVM migration data loss | MEDIUM | CRITICAL | Full backup + test restore |
| Molecule complexity | MEDIUM | HIGH | Start simple, iterate gradually |
| Time constraints | HIGH | MEDIUM | Strict prioritization (P0→P1→P2) |
### Mitigation Strategies
1. **Comprehensive backups** before any destructive operations
2. **Test in dev environment** before production changes
3. **Use check mode** for playbook validation
4. **Document rollback procedures** for all major changes
5. **Prioritize ruthlessly** - defer P3 tasks if needed

## Questions & Clarifications
Before beginning execution, consider:
1. **LVM Migration Approach for pihole:**
- Option A: Rebuild VM (cleanest, ~4 hours)
- Option B: In-place migration (risky, ~8 hours)
- Option C: Document exception (why is LVM not feasible?)
**Recommendation:** Option A (rebuild) during Week 48
2. **CI/CD Platform Choice:**
- Gitea Actions (native integration, simpler)
- Jenkins (more features, higher complexity)
**Recommendation:** Gitea Actions (Week 49)
3. **Molecule Test Backend:**
- Docker (faster, simpler, recommended)
- Podman (rootless, more secure)
- LXD/libvirt (closer to production, complex)
**Recommendation:** Docker (Week 48)
