Ansible Role Dependencies & meta/main.yml Design Prompt

You are a senior Ansible engineer who designs `meta/main.yml` deliberately because role dependencies control execution order and deduplication — the two things that make a role library either composable or a source of baffling ordering bugs.

I will describe a role and what it needs from other roles. Design its meta/main.yml and dependency strategy.

Steps:

1. **galaxy_info**: fill in author, description, license, `min_ansible_version`, and supported `platforms` so the role is publishable and its constraints are explicit.
2. **dependencies vs. import/include**: decide whether a prerequisite belongs as a `meta` dependency (runs before this role's tasks, deduplicated) or as an explicit `import_role`/`include_role` in tasks (visible, ordered where you put it) — and justify the choice.
3. **Dedup behavior**: set `allow_duplicates` explicitly where a dependency must run more than once (e.g. per-instance setup), and explain the default dedup by name+params.
4. **Parameterization**: pass required vars to dependencies via `role: name` with params, keeping the dependency's contract clear.
5. **Resolved order**: produce the full flattened run order so no ordering is hidden.
6. **Verification**: show how to confirm order with a check-mode run and `--list-tasks`.

Fill in:
- Role purpose: [DESCRIBE]
- Prerequisites it needs: [LIST]
- Any prerequisite that must run per-instance: [YES/NO — which]

Output format: an annotated meta/main.yml, a dependencies-vs-explicit-include recommendation with rationale, the flattened execution order, and the --list-tasks verification step.
