The update command ran on every play with changed_when tied to its return code, so the role never
reported a converged state. It is a handler now, notified by the anchor symlink and by the three tasks
which write cert.pem of the root certificate authority. Notifying from the certificate tasks as well keeps
the trust store correct on renewal, where the symlink itself stays untouched.
The anchor path and the update command moved into the per os_family vars, because a handler cannot read
the block vars they lived in before. Debian and RedHat need dedicated files again, they agree on the
package name but differ in anchor path, file extension and update command.

Installing the python cryptography bindings with ansible.builtin.pip is rejected by PEP 668 on distributions
which mark their python installation as externally managed. Fedora 38+, Ubuntu 23.04+ and RHEL 10 are
affected, so the role aborted on its very first task there.
The package names are resolved from vars/ via first_found, which keeps distribution specifics out of the
task file. vars/main.yaml provides python3-cryptography as a fallback for every family without a dedicated
file, Archlinux overrides it with python-cryptography.
