## Context The project previously added `ansible_python_interpreter: auto` in `group_vars/all.yml` to handle hosts where Python might not be at the default path. This works correctly — Ansible discovers the interpreter and uses it. However, `auto` mode logs a `[WARNING]` on every host about the discovered interpreter potentially changing in the future, cluttering playbook output. Ansible provides two auto-discovery modes: - `auto` — discovers interpreter, logs a warning about future instability - `auto_silent` — identical discovery logic, suppresses the warning ## Goals / Non-Goals **Goals:** - Suppress the Python interpreter discovery warning on all hosts - Maintain automatic interpreter discovery behavior **Non-Goals:** - Pinning to a specific Python path (would break portability across different OS versions) - Changing Python version or installation method ## Decisions **Use `auto_silent` instead of a hardcoded path.** `auto_silent` preserves the same discovery logic as `auto` but suppresses the warning. The alternative — hardcoding `/usr/bin/python3` or `/usr/bin/python3.13` — would break when hosts run different Python versions or when Python is upgraded. ## Risks / Trade-offs **[Silenced warnings may hide a real interpreter change]** → Acceptable. The bootstrap play already ensures Python 3 is installed. If a second interpreter appears, Ansible's discovery order is deterministic and well-documented. The warning is informational, not actionable.
