  - Detailed troubleshooting guidance
- Always section:
  - Deployment logging to /var/log/ansible-vm-deployments.log
  - Success/failure tracking
- Improved task FQCNs (ansible.builtin.*)

## Handlers Implementation

### deploy_linux_vm Role - Complete Handler Suite
- VM Lifecycle Handlers:
  - restart vm, shutdown vm, destroy vm
- Cloud-Init Handlers:
  - regenerate cloud-init iso (full rebuild and reattach)
- Storage Handlers:
  - refresh libvirt storage pool
  - resize vm disk (with safe shutdown/start)
- Network Handlers:
  - refresh network configuration
  - restart libvirt network
- Libvirt Daemon Handlers:
  - restart libvirtd, reload libvirtd
- Cleanup Handlers:
  - cleanup temporary files
  - remove cloud-init iso
- Validation Handlers:
  - validate vm status
  - check connectivity

## Impact

### Security
- Eliminates hardcoded secrets from version control
- Implements industry best practices for secret management
- Provides clear guidance for secure deployment

### Maintainability
- CHANGELOGs enable version tracking and change auditing
- ROADMAPs provide clear development direction and prioritization
- Comprehensive error handling reduces debugging time
- Handlers enable modular, reusable state management

### Reliability
- Automatic rollback prevents partial deployments
- Comprehensive error messages reduce MTTR
- Handlers ensure consistent state management
- Better separation of concerns

### Compliance
- Aligns with CLAUDE.md security requirements
- Implements proper secrets management per organizational policy
- Provides audit trail through changelogs
