- ansible_become: true as a group_vars connection variable silently took
precedence over every task-level `become: false` in this repo, so
every "unprivileged" task (pipx installs, user script deploys,
legacy .env.local writes) was actually running as root the whole
time. Move become to a play-level keyword in site.yml instead, which
correctly loses to a task's own become: false. Also stop relying on
ansible_env.HOME (which reflected root's home once facts were
gathered under the old broken setup) and use /home/{{ remote_user }}
directly, with explicit owner/group so ownership self-heals.
- meshcore_capture: 99-user.toml.j2 now defines every broker
(including letsmesh-us/eu) fully rather than assuming
config.d/10-letsmesh.toml was auto-installed — that preset only gets
created on some install paths (fresh install) and not others
(migrate), so the old partial-override form silently dropped
brokers on migrated nodes.
- base: install libffi-dev/pkg-config on armv6 (Pi Zero W) — cffi has
no prebuilt wheel for that architecture and fails to compile
without the headers.
- dm-ashwell: migrated off the legacy layout to the current
installer's system-service layout; drop its layout override now
that it matches the group default.
- meshcore-capture-update.sh: fix a YAML folded scalar (>-) collapsing
the shebang and command onto one line, corrupting the script.

Each node now gets three NetworkManager wifi connections via a new
wifi role: dotnetwork (home), dotmobile (phone hotspot, for field
troubleshooting), and a host-specific deployed-location network.
Credentials live in a new per-repo ansible-vault (group and host
scoped), matching the pattern already used in dotnetwork.
Also updates the README's Pi imaging instructions from Bookworm to
Trixie, matching what the nodes actually run.

Roles: base (apt, tailscale, motd), meshcore_cli (pipx), meshcore_capture
(agessaman/meshcore-packet-capture + .env.local template), scripts (voltage, bandwidth).
Host vars contain per-device serial ports; group vars hold shared MQTT broker config.
