# Ansible Role: Narratio

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

```yaml
narratio_version: v2.0.0
narratio_repository_url: https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/narratio.git
narratio_source_dir: /usr/local/src/narratio
narratio_binary_path: /usr/local/bin/narratio
narratio_manage_build_dependencies: true
narratio_go_snap_channel: 1.26/stable
narratio_go_binary: /snap/bin/go
narratio_user: narratio
narratio_group: narratio

narratio_campaigns_root: /usr/local/share/narratio/campaigns
narratio_spool_root: /var/spool/narratio
narratio_cache_root: /var/cache/narratio
```

`narratio_whisperx_transcribe_url` is required and must be an absolute HTTP or
HTTPS URL. Every other pipeline setting is optional and defaults to `null`:

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
```

Ansible role to install the Narratio D&D transcript and session report generation suite.
