Problem

Ansible stops mid-run and leaves the deployment incomplete.

The task uses an invalid variable, missing package repository, or unsupported module argument.

Code

ansible-playbook site.yml -i inventories/prod/hosts.ini --limit web -vv
ansible-inventory -i inventories/prod/hosts.ini --graph
ansible-lint site.yml

The failing task is corrected and the playbook completes cleanly.
