- Quick action checklist for deployment
📄 ANSIBLE_HANDOFF.md
- Guide for integrating POTE with existing Ansible system
- Explains what Ansible needs to know
- Variable reference and secrets management
- Multi-environment deployment strategy

📄 MOVE_ANSIBLE_TO_SEPARATE_REPO.md
- Explains why ansible/ should be in infrastructure repo
- Step-by-step migration guide
- Final directory structure for both repos
- Benefits and workflow after migration
KEY INSIGHT:
============
The ansible/ directory doesn't belong in the POTE app repo because:
- Ansible runs BEFORE the app exists (creates container, deploys app)
- Creates circular dependency (Ansible clones repo that contains Ansible)
- Should live in centralized infrastructure repository
NEXT STEPS:
===========
1. Review CUSTOMIZATION_CHECKLIST.md for deployment config
2. Copy ansible/ to infrastructure repo
3. Remove ansible/ from POTE repo (keep handoff docs)
4. Deploy via centralized Ansible system
