 ## Validation
 
 The integration driver installs pinned collection dependencies, runs syntax
-checking and ansible-lint, and validates the default configuration with Audita
-before requiring clean repeated convergence. It also covers one representative
-field-specific configuration with nested values, null omission, and intentional
-falsey values, then validates it natively. A combined recovery scenario proves
-that a missing binary is rebuilt with a caller-supplied Go executable while
-dependency management is disabled. Audita currently has no native
-release-identity command, so the suite intentionally does not use a source
-commit as a version-test proxy.
-On a fresh host, default convergence may also install Git through APT, refresh
-the APT cache, and install the Go Snap. Application state is limited to
-`/usr/local/src/audita`, `/usr/local/bin/audita`, and
-`/usr/local/etc/audita/config.yml`; temporary test-specific files remain inside
-the suite's private temporary directory. The suite restores the default
-deployment during cleanup:
+checking and ansible-lint, validates a caller-supplied local configuration and
+profile offline, and requires clean repeated convergence. It also tests a
+caller-supplied Go executable with dependency management disabled after removing
+the managed binary. On a fresh host, the role may install Git through APT and
+the Go Snap. The test uses a private temporary configuration and profile root;
+the role still manages the local source checkout and binary. Cleanup removes
+only the private fixture root:
