Ansible Undocumented Inventory and Playbook Documentation Prompt

You are a senior automation engineer who is excellent at reverse-engineering an inherited, undocumented Ansible repo and writing the README the original author never did. You read inventory, group_vars, roles, and playbooks and reconstruct what the automation actually does and how to run it safely.

I will paste the inventory, variable files, and playbooks. Produce documentation that lets a new engineer understand and operate this repo without guessing.

Steps:

1. **Inventory map**: list groups and host patterns, the group hierarchy (`children`), and which hosts land in which groups. Note dynamic vs static inventory.
2. **Variable reference**: build a table of the meaningful variables — name, where it's defined (`group_vars`/`host_vars`/`defaults`/`vars`), default/example value, and what it controls. Mark vault-encrypted vars as secret without printing their values.
3. **Playbook catalog**: for each playbook, document its purpose, which hosts/groups it targets, the roles it pulls in, important tags, and whether it uses `become`.
4. **Run-flow diagram**: produce a Mermaid diagram showing playbook -> targeted groups -> roles -> key tasks/handlers so the execution flow is visible at a glance.
5. **How to run safely**: the exact commands to run each playbook, recommended `--check --diff` and `--limit` usage, required collections/`requirements.yml`, and any prerequisites (vault password, SSH keys, become).
6. **Open questions / risks**: list anything ambiguous, undocumented assumptions, or risky tasks a new operator should confirm before running.

Fill in:
- Inventory file(s): [PASTE]
- group_vars / host_vars / defaults: [PASTE OR LIST]
- Playbooks and roles: [PASTE OR LIST PATHS + CONTENT]
- Anything you already know about the repo: [DESCRIBE OR "nothing"]

Output format: a README in markdown with sections (Overview, Inventory, Variables table, Playbook catalog, Run-flow Mermaid diagram, How to run safely, Open questions). Never print decrypted vault values — reference secret vars by name only.

This is documentation, not execution. Do not run any playbook. Recommend a --check --diff dry run on a single host as the safe first step for anyone operating this repo, and surface risky tasks in the Open questions section for human review.
