ansible-proxy-chain/openspec/changes/archive/2026-04-22-group-vars-template/proposal.md

Why

group_vars/*.yml files contain user-specific configuration (domain names, email, port/cipher preferences). Like the inventory, they should be .example templates in git with the actual files gitignored.

What Changes

• Rename group_vars/{all,relay,landing}.yml to .yml.example via git mv
• Add group_vars/*.yml (excluding .example) to .gitignore
• Update README to document the copy step
