fix: add tenacity retry to install_tools._download for transient network failures

The build-images CI job failed because GitHub releases dropped
connections ("Remote end closed connection without response") for
actionlint, vale, and hadolint simultaneously. The previous code only
fell through to the next fallback URL — there was no retry on the same
URL for transient connection resets.

Now uses tenacity.Retrying with exponential backoff (2-10s, 3 attempts)
on URLError/OSError/ConnectionError, matching the pattern already used
in devx.utils.network. The _sleep kwarg allows tests to skip real
sleeping.

3 new tests cover: retry-then-success, exhaustion-after-max-retries,
and no-retry-on-non-transient-errors.

-# pr-review
-
-Deep, critical PR review with auto-fix. This skill guides the agent
-through a thorough review of a pull request, posting inline comments
-for each issue found, auto-fixing them, resolving the discussion threads,
-and marking the PR as ready-to-merge when no blocking issues remain.
-
-## When to Invoke
-
-Invoke this skill when asked to review a PR, or when a PR is open and
-needs review before merge. Do NOT invoke automatically on every PR —
-this is an on-demand deep review, not a CI gate.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- The PR must be open in a Gitea repo
-- The agent needs Gitea MCP access (gitea server)
-- The agent needs git push access to the PR's head branch
-- The PR should have passed CI (validate job) before deep review
-
-## Review Categories
-
-Review every PR against these 8 categories. For each issue found, post
-an inline comment on the specific line, then auto-fix it.
-
-### 1. Functional Correctness
-
-- Does the code actually do what the spec/PR title claims?
-- Are edge cases handled? (empty input, null, boundary values, concurrent access)
-- Are error paths tested? Not just happy path.
-- Does the code handle all return values? (ignored errors, unchecked None)
-- Are there off-by-one errors, wrong comparisons, inverted conditions?
-- Do loops terminate correctly? (no infinite loops, correct break/continue)
-- Are regex patterns correct? (anchored, escaped, non-greedy where needed)
-- Are API responses validated before use? (status codes, response shape)
-
-### 2. Completeness
-
-- Are all requirements from the spec implemented? (check each REQ-ID)
-- Are all acceptance criteria in the spec checked off?
-- Are tests written for all new code paths?
-- Are error messages user-facing (wrapped in `_()`)?
-- Are new CLI commands documented in `docs/user/cli-commands.md`?
-- Are new modules added to architecture docs?
-- Are CHANGELOG entries added for user-facing changes?
-- Are translations added for new user-facing strings?
-
-### 3. Architecture
-
-- Does the code follow the repo's layer separation? (no business logic in CLI, no direct subprocess in CLI)
-- Are new dependencies justified? (no unnecessary new packages)
-- Is configuration via env vars / config.py, not hardcoded?
-- Are new modules placed in the correct directory? (ci/ vs tools/ vs molecule/)
-- Does the code reuse existing utilities? (no reimplemented helpers)
-- Are imports circular? (check import chains)
-- Is the code testable? (injectable dependencies, no hidden global state)
-- Does the code follow existing patterns in the codebase?
-
-### 4. Reliability
-
-- Are external API calls retried with backoff?
-- Are timeouts set on all network operations?
-- Are file operations atomic? (write to temp, rename)
-- Are database operations transactional where needed?
-- Are there race conditions? (check shared mutable state)
-- Are resources cleaned up in all paths? (finally blocks, context managers)
-- Can the code handle partial failures? (one service down, others up)
-- Are idempotency guarantees maintained? (safe to retry)
-
-### 5. Robustness
-
-- Does the code fail gracefully? (meaningful error messages, not stack traces)
-- Are unexpected inputs handled? (type checking, validation)
-- Are there any crash-on-bad-input paths?
-- Does the code degrade under load? (backpressure, queue limits)
-- Are there resource leaks? (file handles, connections, memory)
-- Does the code survive network partitions? (retry, circuit breaker)
-- Are there any unhandled exceptions that could crash the process?
-- Is logging sufficient to diagnose production issues?
-
-### 6. Security
-
-- Are there hardcoded secrets, tokens, or passwords?
-- Is `shell=True` used with user input? (command injection)
-- Is `eval()` or `exec()` used? (code injection)
-- Are SQL queries parameterized? (no string concatenation)
-- Are file paths validated? (no path traversal)
-- Are user inputs sanitized before display? (XSS in web contexts)
-- Are SSL/TLS verifications disabled without justification?
-- Are secrets logged in error messages or debug output?
-- Are permissions checked before privileged operations?
-- Is sensitive data in memory longer than necessary?
-
-### 7. Technical Excellence
-
-- Are functions under 50 lines? (refactor if longer)
-- Is cyclomatic complexity reasonable? (no deeply nested if/else chains)
-- Are names meaningful? (no single-letter vars, no misleading names)
-- Is dead code removed? (no commented-out blocks, no unused imports)
-- Are comments explaining WHY, not WHAT?
-- Is the code DRY? (no copy-pasted blocks that should be shared)
-- Is the code SOLID? (single responsibility, open/closed)
-- Are magic numbers extracted to named constants?
-- Is the code formatted per the repo's linter config?
-- Are type hints present on all function signatures?
-
-### 8. Test Quality
-
-- Do tests actually test the behavior? (not just that code runs)
-- Are tests independent? (no shared mutable state, no order dependency)
-- Are tests fast? (no real sleeps, no real network calls, mocked)
-- Are edge cases tested? (empty, None, boundary, error paths)
-- Are test names descriptive? (test_what_condition_expected_result)
-- Are mocks set up correctly? (mocking the right object, not too broad)
-- Is coverage 100% for new code? (every branch, every line)
-- Are integration tests added for cross-module changes?
-- Do tests clean up after themselves? (tmp_path, fixtures)

-## Review Procedure
-
-### Step 1: Gather Context
-
-```
-1. Read the PR spec (if exists): docs/specs/<TASK-ID>.md
-2. Fetch PR details via Gitea MCP: pull_request_read (get_pr, list_pr_files)
-3. Read the full diff: git diff origin/master...HEAD
-4. Read the PR description and any existing review comments
-5. Identify the repo's task prefix (OBL-INFRA, GRM, SSO, DEVX)
-```
-
-### Step 2: Review Each File
-
-For each changed file in the PR:
-
-1. Read the full file (not just the diff) to understand context
-2. Go through all 8 review categories
-3. For each issue found, note: file path, line number, category, severity, description, suggested fix
-
-### Step 3: Post Inline Comments
-
-For each issue found, post an inline review comment using the Gitea MCP:
-
-```
-mcp_call_tool: gitea / pull_request_review_write
-  method: create
-  owner: <owner>
-  repo: <repo>
-  pull_number: <PR number>
-  state: PENDING  (accumulate comments before submitting)
-  body: ""  (empty for now, summary added on submit)
-  comments: [
-    {
-      path: "<file path>",
-      new_line_num: <line number>,
-      body: "**[<category>] [<severity>]** <description>\n\n**Suggested fix:**\n```<lang>\n<fixed code>\n```"
-    }
-  ]
-```
-
-Comment format:
-```
-**[Security] [error]** `shell=True` used with user input — command injection risk.
-
-**Suggested fix:**
-```python
-subprocess.run(["git", "log", commit], check=True)
-```
-```
-
-Severity levels:
-- `error` — must fix before merge (security, correctness, crash)
-- `warning` — should fix before merge (reliability, best practice)
-- `info` — consider fixing (style, minor improvement)
-
-### Step 4: Auto-Fix Issues
-
-For each issue that can be safely auto-fixed:
-
-1. Edit the file using the `edit` tool
-2. Commit with message: `fix: address review comment — <short description>`
-3. Push to the PR's head branch: `git push origin HEAD`
-4. Wait for CI to re-run on the push
-
-Auto-fix ALL issues unless:
-- The fix requires an architectural decision (ask the user)
-- The fix changes public API behavior (ask the user)
-- The fix is ambiguous (multiple valid approaches, ask the user)
-
-### Step 5: Resolve Discussion Threads
-
-After auto-fixing an issue and CI passes:
-
-1. Find the review comment thread for that issue
-2. Post a reply: `Fixed in <commit-sha>. Closing this thread.`
-3. Resolve the discussion (if Gitea supports it via API)
-4. If resolving via API is not available, the reply comment serves as resolution
-
-### Step 6: Submit Final Review
-
-After all issues are addressed (fixed or discussed):
-
-```
-mcp_call_tool: gitea / pull_request_review_write
-  method: submit
-  owner: <owner>
-  repo: <repo>
-  pull_number: <PR number>
-  review_id: <from step 3 create>
-  state: COMMENT  (or APPROVED if no blocking issues remain)
-  body: <summary — see below>
-```
-
-### Step 7: Post Summary
-
-Post a brief summary as a PR comment (via `issue_write / add_comment`):
-
-```
-## Deep Review Summary
-
-- **Files reviewed:** N
-- **Issues found:** N (N auto-fixed, N require attention)
-- **Categories:** security (N), correctness (N), architecture (N), ...
-
-**Outcome:** ✅ Ready to merge — all issues addressed.
-**OR**
-**Outcome:** ⚠️ N blocking issue(s) remain — see inline comments.
-```
-
-Keep the summary to 5-10 bullet points. Do not paste the full review.
-
-### Step 8: Mark PR Ready
-
-If all issues are addressed and no blocking issues remain:
-
-```
-mcp_call_tool: gitea / issue_write
-  method: add_labels
-  owner: <owner>
-  repo: <repo>
-  issue_number: <PR number>
-  labels: [<label_id for "ready-to-merge">]
-```
-
-If blocking issues remain, do NOT add the label. Post a comment
-explaining what needs to be resolved before the PR can merge.
-
-## Gitea MCP Tools Reference
-
-| Action | MCP tool | Method |
-|--------|----------|--------|
-| Get PR details | `pull_request_read` | `get_pr` |
-| List PR files | `pull_request_read` | `list_pr_files` |
-| Get PR diff | `pull_request_read` | `get_pr_diff` |
-| Create review (pending) | `pull_request_review_write` | `create` (state: PENDING) |
-| Submit review | `pull_request_review_write` | `submit` (state: APPROVED/COMMENT/REQUEST_CHANGES) |
-| Post PR comment | `issue_write` | `add_comment` |
-| Add label | `issue_write` | `add_labels` |
-| List labels | `label_read` | `list_repo_labels` |
-| Merge PR | `pull_request_write` | `merge` (do NOT use — auto-merge handles this) |
-
-## Important Rules
-
-- **Never merge the PR yourself.** Add the `ready-to-merge` label and let
-  the auto-merge workflow handle it. This ensures CI passes and the
-  commit message follows the `<PREFIX>-N: <conventional>` format.
-- **Never approve your own PR.** If the agent created the PR, post
-  COMMENT state, not APPROVED.
-- **Always push fixes to the PR branch**, not directly to master.
-- **Wait for CI after each push** before resolving the discussion thread.
-- **Post one review with all comments**, not multiple reviews.
-- **The summary must be brief** — 5-10 bullet points max.
-- **Severity matters**: only `error` severity blocks the `ready-to-merge` label.

-# Spec-Driven Development
-
-## Overview
-
-Every change starts with a spec. No spec, no code. No code, no PR.
-
-The spec is a markdown file at `docs/specs/<TASK-ID>.md` in the repo.
-It contains structured requirements (REQ-IDs) and acceptance criteria
-(AC checklist) that CI validates before merge.
-
-## Workflow
-
-1. **Create Vikunja task** — `make create-task -- --title "Title" --description "..."`
-2. **Write spec** — Create `docs/specs/<TASK-ID>.md` (see template below)
-3. **Create branch** — `git checkout -b <PREFIX>-N-short-description`
-4. **Implement** — Write code with `# Implements: REQ-N` comments
-5. **Check ACs** — Tick all acceptance criteria checkboxes in the spec
-6. **Push and create PR** — `make push-with-pr`
-7. **CI validates** — Spec validation, PR size check, fast molecule, lint, tests
-8. **Auto-merge** — Add `ready-to-merge` label after review
-9. **Auto-deploy** — Post-merge deploys to staging (if nightly gate is green)
-
-## Spec Template
-
-```markdown
-# <TASK-ID>: <Title>
-
-## Problem
-<What is broken or missing? Why does this change exist?>
-
-## Approach
-<How will you solve it? What are the key design decisions?>
-
-REQ-1: <First requirement description>
-REQ-2: <Second requirement description>
-REQ-3: <Third requirement description>
-
-## Test Plan
-- <How will you verify each REQ is implemented correctly?>
-- <Include unit tests, molecule scenarios, integration tests>
-
-## Deploy Plan
-- <How will this change be deployed?>
-- <What order do components need to deploy in?>
-- <Are there migrations or one-time operations?>
-
-## Rollback Plan
-- <How do you revert if something goes wrong?>
-- <What data/state changes are irreversible?>
-
-## Acceptance Criteria
-- [ ] REQ-1: <criterion that proves REQ-1 is done>
-- [ ] REQ-2: <criterion that proves REQ-2 is done>
-- [ ] REQ-3: <criterion that proves REQ-3 is done>
-```
-
-## CI Validation
-
-The `devx.ci.validate_spec` module checks:
-
-1. **Spec file exists** at `docs/specs/<TASK-ID>.md` (TASK-ID from branch name)
-2. **Required sections present**: Problem, Approach, Test Plan, Deploy Plan, Rollback Plan, Acceptance Criteria
-3. **At least one REQ-ID** line (format: `REQ-N: <description>`)
-4. **All AC checkboxes checked** (`- [x]`, not `- [ ]`)
-
-If any check fails, CI blocks the PR before expensive jobs run.
-
-## PR Size Limits
-
-CI enforces max 500 lines / 10 files changed (excluding CHANGELOG.md,
-README.md, badges, lock files). Oversized PRs are rejected. Split your
-work into smaller PRs.
-
-## Code-to-Spec Linking
-
-Each function, task, or template that implements a requirement should
-have a comment:
-
-```python
-# Implements: REQ-1
-def install_sso_bridge():
-    ...
-```
-
-```yaml
-# Implements: REQ-2
-- name: Clone infra repo
-  git:
-    ...
-```
-
-## Fast Molecule (Pre-merge)
-
-CI runs molecule only for **changed roles** (detected via git diff),
-with converge + verify only, single platform. This gives quick feedback
-(~5-10 min) without the full molecule suite.
-
-## Full Molecule (Nightly)
-
-The complete molecule suite (all scenarios, all platforms) runs nightly
-at 02:00 CET on master. If it fails:
-- A Gitea issue is created with the `feedback` label
-- The `NIGHTLY_STATUS` repo variable is set to `failed:<run_id>`
-- All staging deploys are blocked until nightly passes again
-
-## Auto-Deploy on Merge
-
-Every merged PR auto-deploys to staging (if nightly gate is green).
-No manual trigger needed. The deploy runs the full pipeline:
-provision → deploy-observability → deploy-customer → configure-oidc.
-
-For grm/sso-bridge: post-merge publishes the package, then auto-creates
-an infra PR to bump the pinned version. That infra PR auto-deploys when
-merged.
-
-## Key Commands
-
-```bash
-# Validate spec locally (before pushing)
-python -m devx.ci.validate_spec --branch <PREFIX>-N-description
-
-# Check PR size locally
-python -m devx.ci.check_pr_size --base origin/master --head HEAD
-
-# See which roles need fast molecule
-python -m devx.ci.fast_molecule --base origin/master --head HEAD
-
-# Check nightly gate status
-python -m devx.ci.nightly_gate --repo oblachno/infra --action check

+# ADR-0002: Ansible Check Tool Consolidation and wait_for_checks Extraction
+
+Date: 2026-08-12
+Status: Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+The devx package had two categories of code duplication and inline
+workflow logic that were hard to test and maintain:
+
+### 1. Ansible Check Tools — Duplicated Boilerplate
+
+Five Ansible check tools (`check_ansible_no_log`,
+`check_ansible_patterns`, `check_ansible_set_fact_to_json`,
+`check_ansible_no_state_absent_on_db`, `check_jinja_expr`) each
+implemented their own file discovery, YAML parsing, task iteration, and
+violation reporting logic. While the check logic differed, the
+supporting infrastructure was copy-pasted across all five modules:
+
+- `find_task_files()` — glob YAML files, skip molecule
+- YAML multi-document parsing with error handling
+- Task iteration (bare lists, play dicts with `tasks`/`pre_tasks`/`post_tasks`/`handlers`, nested `block` tasks)
+- Violation formatting (`path:line — message`)
+
+This made it difficult to add new checks (each new tool repeated the
+boilerplate) and risky to change shared behavior (fixes had to be
+applied to all five modules independently).
+
+### 2. Inline Job Polling in Workflow YAML
+
+The `grm` repository's `ci.yml` workflow contained ~25 lines of inline
+shell + Python polling logic to wait for the `molecule-tests` job to
+complete before the auto-merge step. This logic:
+
+- Was not testable (embedded in workflow YAML)
+- Duplicated the Gitea API client pattern already used elsewhere
+- Had no timeout handling, no error reporting, no retry logic
+- Could not be reused by other repositories
+
+### 3. Duplicate discover_runners Modules
+
+`devx.ci.discover_runners` and `devx.molecule.discover_runners` were
+near-identical modules. The `ci/` version had better error logging
+(warnings on non-200 responses, 403 suppression for instance-level
+queries), while the `molecule/` version silently swallowed errors.
+Both were imported by different workflows, making it unclear which was
+canonical.
+
+## Decision
+
+### 1. Composable `ansible_checks/` Subpackage
+
+Consolidate the five Ansible check tools into a
+`devx.tools.ansible_checks/` subpackage with shared utilities:
+
+- `_shared.py` — `AnsibleFileFinder`, `AnsibleYAMLParser`,
+  `ViolationReporter` classes providing composable helpers
+- `no_log.py`, `patterns.py`, `set_fact_to_json.py`,
+  `no_state_absent_on_db.py`, `jinja_expr.py` — canonical check
+  implementations using the shared utilities
+
+The old modules (`check_ansible_*.py`, `check_jinja_expr.py`) remain as
+**thin backward-compat wrappers** that re-export the canonical
+implementation and preserve the CLI entry point. This avoids breaking
+existing Makefile targets and workflow references.
+
+**Composition over inheritance**: each check module picks the helpers it
+needs. Tools that don't parse YAML (for example line-based scanners) can skip
+`AnsibleYAMLParser` entirely.
+
+### 2. Extracted `wait_for_checks` Module
+
+Extract the inline polling logic into `devx.ci.wait_for_checks`:
+
+- Polls the Gitea API for job completion status
+- Configurable job name prefix, timeout, poll interval
+- Exit codes: 0 (success), 1 (failure), 2 (timeout), 3 (API error)
+- `--require-success/--no-require-success` flag for flexibility
+- 100% test coverage with mocked API responses
+
+This replaces the inline shell polling in `grm` `ci.yml` with a
+reusable, testable Python module.
+
+### 3. Deprecated `ci/discover_runners` Wrapper
+
+Merge the `ci/discover_runners` implementation (with its better error
+logging) into `molecule/discover_runners` as the canonical version.
+Make `ci/discover_runners` a deprecated wrapper that:
+
+- Re-exports all public symbols from `molecule.discover_runners`
+- Emits a `DeprecationWarning` when run as `__main__`
+- Preserves backward compatibility for existing workflow references
+
+New code should import from `devx.molecule.discover_runners` directly.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- **New checks are easier to write**: import `_shared` helpers, implement
+  only the check-specific logic
+- **Shared behavior can be fixed in one place**: file discovery, YAML
+  parsing, violation formatting
+- **Workflow polling is testable**: `wait_for_checks` has 26 unit tests
+  covering success, failure, timeout, and API error scenarios
+- **Backward compatibility preserved**: all existing Makefile targets,
+  workflow references, and test imports continue to work via wrappers
+- **Migration path is gradual**: new code uses the subpackage; old code
+  can migrate at its own pace; wrappers can be removed in a future
+  release once all references are updated

-# DEVX-155: Replace pr_review with spec-driven CI gates and pr-review skill
-
-## Problem
-The `devx.ci.pr_review` module was a monolithic automated PR review tool that
-ran in CI and posted COMMENT/REQUEST_CHANGES reviews. It duplicated logic now
-better handled by an agent-invoked skill, and it blocked the introduction of
-spec-driven development gates (validate_spec, check_pr_size) that should run
-before expensive CI jobs.
-
-## Approach
-Remove `pr_review` and replace it with lightweight, focused CI gates plus a
-new `pr-review` skill for deep agent-invoked reviews.
-
-REQ-1: Add `devx.ci.validate_spec` — validates spec file exists, has required sections, REQ-IDs, all ACs checked
-REQ-2: Add `devx.ci.check_pr_size` — enforces max 500 lines / 10 files (excludes CHANGELOG, badges, locks)
-REQ-3: Add `devx.ci.fast_molecule` — detects changed roles, outputs fast molecule commands (converge+verify, single platform)
-REQ-4: Add `devx.ci.nightly_gate` — checks/sets NIGHTLY_STATUS repo variable to block staging deploys on nightly failure
-REQ-5: Add `devx.ci.create_dependency_pr` — auto-creates infra PR to bump pinned package version after grm/sso-bridge release
-REQ-6: Remove `devx.ci.pr_review` module and `tests/unit/test_pr_review.py`
-REQ-7: Update CI workflows to replace pr_review steps with validate_spec + check_pr_size + curl-based APPROVE
-REQ-8: Add `spec-driven-development` and `pr-review` skills under `.devin/skills/`
-REQ-9: Update AGENTS.md and skill docs to document the new spec-driven workflow
-
-## Test Plan
-- Unit tests for each new module (test_validate_spec, test_check_pr_size, test_fast_molecule, test_nightly_gate, test_create_dependency_pr, test_spec_driven_workflows)
-- Remove test_pr_review.py and pr_review references from test_cli.py (pr_review.py deleted from source)
-- Verify CI workflow YAML passes actionlint
-
-## Deploy Plan
-- Merge to master via auto-merge workflow
-- devx post-merge publishes new version; downstream repos (grm, infra, sso-bridge) bump their devx pin
-
-## Rollback Plan
-- Revert the merge commit; downstream repos keep their current devx pin
-- pr_review.py can be restored from git history if needed
-
-## Acceptance Criteria
-- [x] REQ-1: `devx.ci.validate_spec` module exists with `--branch` and `--github-output` options
-- [x] REQ-2: `devx.ci.check_pr_size` module exists with `--base`, `--head`, `--github-output` options
-- [x] REQ-3: `devx.ci.fast_molecule` module exists and outputs changed roles + commands
-- [x] REQ-4: `devx.ci.nightly_gate` module exists with `--action check/set-passed/set-failed`
-- [x] REQ-5: `devx.ci.create_dependency_pr` module exists with `--repo`, `--package`, `--new-version` options
-- [x] REQ-6: The pr_review CI module and its test file are deleted from source tree
-- [x] REQ-7: CI workflow uses validate_spec + check_pr_size + curl APPROVE instead of pr_review
-- [x] REQ-8: `.devin/skills/spec-driven-development/SKILL.md` and `.devin/skills/pr-review/SKILL.md` exist
-- [x] REQ-9: AGENTS.md documents spec-driven development workflow and pr-review skill

-  3. Instance (admin) level: GET /admin/actions/runners
+.. deprecated:: Phase 1c

+    with existing workflow references and Makefile targets.
 
-Falls back to the ``MOLECULE_RUNNERS`` repo variable or environment
-variable, then to ``DEFAULT_MAX_RUNNERS`` (3).
-
-Outputs:
-  - ``--count``: prints the number of available runners
-  - ``--indices``: prints a JSON array [0, 1, ..., N-1] for use as a
-    dynamic matrix in Gitea Actions
-  - (default): prints both as ``count=N`` and ``indices=[0,1,...]``
+    The canonical implementation lives in

+    primarily used by the molecule test distribution pipeline. CI
+    workflows that still reference ``python -m devx.ci.discover_runners``

-# Implements: REQ-1
-"""Validate that a PR has a spec file with required sections and acceptance criteria.
-
-Spec-driven development gate. Runs in CI before expensive jobs.
-
-Validates:
-1. A spec file exists at ``docs/specs/<TASK-ID>.md`` (TASK-ID extracted from branch).
-2. The spec contains required sections: Problem, Approach, Test Plan, Deploy Plan, Rollback Plan.
-3. The spec contains REQ-ID lines (``REQ-N: <description>``).
-4. The spec contains an Acceptance Criteria checklist with at least one item.
-5. All acceptance criteria checkboxes are checked (``- [x]``).
-
-Usage:
-    python -m devx.ci.validate_spec --branch OBL-INFRA-531-fix-foo
-
-In CI, also pass ``--github-output`` to set ``spec-valid`` and ``spec-path``
-for downstream steps.

+"""Run molecule tests sequentially while polling Gitea for other runner failures.
+
+Each pair is encoded as one of:
+
+- **Single-role (4-part):** ``scenario|platform_name|platform_image|platform_command``
+- **Multi-role (5-part):** ``role|scenario|platform_name|platform_image|platform_command``
+
+Pairs are executed one at a time (molecule scenarios share temp directories and
+Docker networks, so parallel execution within a single runner is unsafe).
+
+A background thread polls the Gitea API. If any other molecule matrix runner
+reports failure, the current molecule subprocess is killed and this runner
+exits early with code 1.
+
+Usage::
+
+    # Single-role
+    python3 -m devx.molecule.molecule_ci_guard pair1 pair2 ...
+    # Multi-role
+    python3 -m devx.molecule.molecule_ci_guard --roles-root ansible/roles pair1 pair2 ...
+
+Environment variables:
+    GITEA_URL           Base URL of the Gitea instance.
+    CI_GITEA_API_TOKEN  API token with repo access (CI_GITEA_TOKEN accepted for legacy).
+    RUN_ID              Workflow run ID (GITHUB_RUN_ID).
+    JOB_NAME            Base job name (GITHUB_JOB), e.g. "molecule-tests".
+    MATRIX_INDEX        Current matrix index (runner-index).
+    GITEA_REPOSITORY    Repository in "owner/repo" format.

 """Check that Ansible ``set_fact`` tasks don't misuse ``| to_json``.
 
-This prevents the class of bug where ``set_fact`` tasks use

-converts native types to JSON strings. Ansible then stored the result
-as a string, so iterating over the fact yielded individual characters
-instead of list items, causing ``object of type 'str' has no attribute
-'ip'`` errors.
-
-The check scans all Ansible task files (playbooks and role tasks) for
-``set_fact`` tasks where any value uses ``| to_json`` or ``| to_nice_json``
-and flags them as potential bugs.
-
-``| to_json`` is legitimate in Jinja2 templates (e.g., rendering JSON
-config files) but almost never correct in ``set_fact`` — the fact should
-store the native Python type so downstream tasks can iterate/index it.
