-Ansible role to install the Narratio D&D transcript and session report generation suite.
\ No newline at end of file
+Installs and configures [Narratio](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/narratio)
+from source on Ubuntu 26.04 (`x86_64` or `aarch64`). The role requires gathered
+facts and uses task-level privilege escalation for dependencies and managed
+application state.
+
+## Variables
+

+
+`narratio_whisperx_transcribe_url` is required and must be an absolute HTTP or

+
+With dependency management enabled, the role installs Git and the classic Go
+Snap from `narratio_go_snap_channel`. When disabled, Git and the executable at
+`narratio_go_binary` must already be available. The role checks out
+`narratio_version`, builds `./cmd/narratio` to `narratio_binary_path`, and
+rebuilds only when the checkout changes or the binary is absent.
+
+The `narratio` account owns the workspace, spool, and cache roots, which are
+group-writable setgid directories. The campaign registry is `root:narratio`
+and operator-readable; its content remains caller-managed. The configuration
+directory is `root:narratio` mode `0750`, and the pipeline is mode `0640`.
+
+Null pipeline values and their empty parent mappings are omitted; non-null
+falsey values are preserved. `narratio_publish_outputs`,
+`narratio_notarius_references`, `narratio_notarius_outputs`,
+`narratio_scriptorium_artifacts`, and `narratio_scriptorium_artifact_families`
+are complete native caller values, so callers may compose them before assigning
+them and the role does not merge or rewrite them. Credential fields name
+environment variables only; credential values remain outside this role.
+ConfigKit imports and profile overlays are externally managed, and this role
+does not install the downstream applications, campaign content, or suite policy.
+
+## Example
+
+```yaml
+- hosts: narratio_hosts
+  roles:
+    - role: ansible-role-narratio
+      vars:
+        narratio_whisperx_transcribe_url: https://whisperx.example.test/transcribe
+```
+
+## Validation
+
+The repository-local integration suite installs its pinned collection, runs
+syntax checking and production-profile lint, validates a baseline managed
+pipeline through Narratio as its application account, and requires immediate
+clean repeated convergence. It restores the baseline deployment during cleanup.
+
+```sh
+tests/integration
+```
