-Ansible-first automation for provisioning macOS CI agents, with Tart VM support for local iteration.
-
-## Overview
-
-This repository provisions macOS hosts (VMs or physical machines) using Ansible roles and playbooks.
-
-The current active stack is:
-
-- Root-level Ansible project (`ansible.cfg`, `inventory/`, `playbooks/`, `roles/`)
-- Dynamic Tart inventory (`inventory/tart_inventory.py`) for VM IP discovery at runtime
-- Role-scoped reference scripts in `scripts/` used as implementation references and helpers
-- Toolchain and workflow orchestration via `mise`

-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- macOS host for Tart-based workflows
-- [mise](https://mise.jdx.dev)
-- Tart VMs prepared locally (if using dynamic Tart inventory)
-- Pre-staged Xcode `.xip` and Simulator Runtime `.dmg` assets for the target OS version(s)
-
-## Setup
-
-Run commands from the repository root.
-
-1. Install toolchain from `mise.toml`:
-
-	```bash
-	mise install
-	```
-
-2. Bootstrap Python/Ansible dependencies and Galaxy content:
-
-	```bash
-	mise run bootstrap
-	```
-
-	This installs:
-
-	- Python dependencies from `pyproject.toml` (`ansible-core`, `ansible-lint`, `paramiko`)
-	- Roles and collections from `requirements.yml`
-
-## Inventory and Variables
-
-`ansible.cfg` points to `inventory/tart_inventory.py` as the default inventory.
-
-- `inventory/tart_inventory.py` discovers VM IPs via `tart ip <vm_name>`
-- Hosts are grouped into:
-  - `macos_agents` (parent)
-  - `tart_agents` (runtime Tart VM group)
-  - version-specific groups like `macos_15_agents` and `macos_26_agents`
-
-Primary variable files:
-
-- `inventory/group_vars/macos_agents.yml`: shared settings (admin credentials, Homebrew base packages, Dock config)
-- `inventory/group_vars/tart_agents.yml`: Tart-specific packages (`tart-guest-agent`)
-- `inventory/group_vars/macos_15_agents.yml` and `inventory/group_vars/macos_26_agents.yml`: Xcode/runtime/simulator presets
-
-## Xcode Cache Inputs
-
-The `xcode` role installs all `*.xip` files found in the admin user's Downloads folder on the remote host. Stage the desired Xcode `.xip` files there before running provisioning — they will be deleted after installation.
-
-## Provisioning
-
-Run the full playbook:
-
-```bash
-ansible-playbook playbooks/provision.yml
-```
-
-Or run common role slices with tags:
-
-```bash
-ansible-playbook playbooks/provision.yml --tags xcode
-ansible-playbook playbooks/provision.yml --tags homebrew
-ansible-playbook playbooks/provision.yml --tags system_config
-```
-
-Playbook role order in `playbooks/provision.yml` is intentional:
-
-1. `xcode_clt`
-2. `macos_updates`
-3. `rosetta`
-4. `ssh_config`
-5. `system_config`
-6. `auth_config`
-7. `homebrew`
-8. `geerlingguy.mac.dock`
-9. `xcode`
-10. Spotlight re-index task
-11. Reboot task
-
-## Tart VM Workflow (Local)
-
-`mise` includes helper tasks for local Tart loops:
-
-- `mise run run-tart-vms`: starts configured VMs and waits for SSH readiness
-- `mise run provision`: verifies Xcode/simruntime cache inputs, starts VMs, then runs `ansible-playbook playbooks/provision.yml`
-- `mise run shutdown-tart-vms`: shuts down hosts in `tart_agents`
-- `mise run refresh-tart-vms`: recreates local Tart VM clones from frozen images
-
-Adjust VM names in:
-
-- `inventory/tart_inventory.py` (`VMS` list)
-- `mise.toml` (`tasks.run-tart-vms` and `tasks.refresh-tart-vms`)
-
-## Linting and Formatting
-
-This repo uses `hk` and `mise` task aliases:
-
-```bash
-mise run chk   # lint/check
-mise run fmt   # auto-fix formatting and supported lint issues
-```
-
-`chk` includes `ansible-lint`, `shellcheck`, `shfmt`, `ruff`, `yamlfmt`, and additional utility checks defined in `hk.pkl`.
-
-## Shell Script Tests
-
-Xcode utility script tests can be run directly on macOS:
-
-```bash
-bash scripts/xcode/tests/test_xcode-utils.bash
-```
