# Ansible settings for deploying aibook-fun.
#
# The whole point of this file is SSH connection reuse. On a workstation whose
# SSH key lives in a hardware-backed agent (Secretive, a YubiKey, the Secure
# Enclave), every *new* TCP connection needs a fresh signature — which means a
# Touch ID prompt. Ansible opens many connections per run and does so
# non-interactively, so those prompts cannot be answered and the run dies with:
#
# sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed ... agent refused operation
#
# Ansible's own defaults make this worse in two ways, both fixed below:
#
# 1. It keeps control sockets in ~/.ansible/cp, separate from the ones the
# operator's own `ssh` has already authenticated. Pointing it at the same
# directory and the same %C naming as OpenSSH means ansible *reuses* a
# master connection the operator authorised earlier — no new signature.
# 2. ControlPersist defaults to 60s, so a master closes between steps of a
# deploy and the next one needs another signature.
#
# Together: authenticate once at the start of a work session, then deploy
# repeatedly without touching the key again.
