Ansible 2.20 has deprecated the use of Ansible facts as variables. For
example, ansible_distribution is now deprecated in favor of
ansible_facts["distribution"]. This is due to making the default
setting INJECT_FACTS_AS_VARS=false. For now, this will create WARNING
messages, but in Ansible 2.24 it will be an error.

In order to ensure that commits and PRs conform to this, use
ANSIBLE_INJECT_FACT_VARS=false by default in our CI testing.

Update README-ostree.md if needed.

Reviewer's Guide

This PR updates CI and test-related configuration to run Ansible-based tests with ANSIBLE_INJECT_FACT_VARS disabled, aligning the project’s automated testing with the upcoming Ansible 2.20+ behavior that no longer injects facts as top-level variables.

Configure GitHub Actions integration tests to run with ANSIBLE_INJECT_FACT_VARS disabled so Ansible facts are not injected as variables during CI.
  • Set ANSIBLE_INJECT_FACT_VARS environment variable to "false" for the qemu-kvm integration test job in the GitHub Actions workflow
.github/workflows/qemu-kvm-integration-tests.yml
Propagate the Ansible inject-facts-as-vars setting into Terraform-based test runs.
  • Add SR_ANSIBLE_INJECT_FACT_VARS=false to the list of environment variables passed into the Terraform (tft) workflow job so downstream test tooling can respect the new default
.github/workflows/tft.yml

Hey - I've left some high level feedback:

  • Consider using the same ANSIBLE_INJECT_FACT_VARS environment variable directly in the tft.yml workflow instead of introducing SR_ANSIBLE_INJECT_FACT_VARS unless there is a strong reason for the extra indirection, to keep configuration of this behavior consistent across workflows.
