Proxmox Ansible Provisioning

This skill should be used when creating a new Proxmox LXC (pct create) or VM, writing or debugging Ansible playbooks that target Proxmox/Debian hosts (including Debian 13/trixie), or troubleshooting a Proxmox+Ansible workflow — a "storage 'local-lvm' does not exist" error, a "Systemd 257 detected" nesting warning, Ansible failing with a locale error inside a fresh LXC, an Ansible lineinfile task that keeps reporting changed on every run, writing multi-line config/YAML files to a remote host over SSH, an "apt-key or gpg binary is required" error from Ansible's apt_repository module, a Proxmox-family product (PVE/PBS/PMG) apt install failing with a 401 against enterprise.proxmox.com, Tailscale/anything needing `/dev/net/tun` stuck crash-looping inside an unprivileged LXC, any host device (GPU render node, USB dongle) bind-mounted into an unprivileged LXC showing up owned by `nobody:nogroup`, or an LXC's own dashboard/monitoring reporting a suspiciously high load average that doesn't match its actual workload. Trigger phrases include "pct create", "pvesm status", "local-lvm", "local-zfs", "unprivileged LXC", "nesting=1", "Ansible could not initialize the preferred locale", "lineinfile idempotency", "ansible-playbook --check failing", "pct exec", "apt-key deprecated", "apt_repository module failed", "enterprise repo 401 unauthorized", "pbs-enterprise.sources", "/dev/net/tun does not exist", "tailscaled activating auto-restart", "TUN passthrough LXC", "device passthrough nobody nogroup", "renderD128 permission denied LXC", "GPU passthrough unprivileged LXC", "chmod 666 dev dri", "loadavg LXC host contamination", "/proc/loadavg not namespaced", "LXC excessive load false alarm", "Jinja Syntax error Missing end of comment tag", "ansible template array length bash", "${#array[@]} jinja", "ansible --start-at-task check diff", "template drifted from live script".
