Argo Workflows CLI, A Workflow Linted Offline, One Refused
argo on EL 10 from the GitHub release; the asset is a bare gzip; get_url refuses it unless its SHA-256 is in the vendor's checksums file, and the live test re-checks it, then has lint --offline pass a valid Workflow and fail one whose entrypoint is missing (exit 1); list stops at the missing cluster. Pinned. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.

Documentation
argo
Argo Workflows argo on EL 10 from the vendor's release, checked against the
published SHA-256, pinned to a version, installed as root's binary
in /usr/local/bin. Original role for EL 10, live-tested with podman on
Rocky Linux 10.
No package worth the name. EL 10 carries no argo, and a
third-party repository is one more key to trust. This role takes the
release from argo-workflows.readthedocs.io, has Ansible's get_url refuse the asset unless
its SHA-256 is the published one, and the live test checks the asset on
disk against the same published value again.
Pinned. argo_version is what gets installed, kept in a directory
of its own so the checksum file and the asset it names stay together. A
newer release is a variable change and a run; the same version is
changed=0.
Proven to run. The live test runs argo lint --offline /tmp/argo-p/bad.yaml and expects
"1 linting errors found" - the binary ran all the way to the point where it
needed something this host does not have.
A workflow linted offline, one refused. argo lint --offline
validates a Workflow against the embedded schema and template graph with
no cluster: the live test expects a valid workflow to pass and one whose
entrypoint names a missing template to fail with that message, rc 1;
argo list stops at "no configuration has been provided". The release
asset is a bare gzip, not an archive: the role has get_url check it
against the vendor's checksum file, then gzip -dc writes the binary.

ansible-argocd-cli
The argocd client on EL 10 from the GitHub release, refused by Ansible's get_url unless its SHA-256 is the one in the vendor's cli_checksums.txt, and re-checked with sha256sum -c by the live test, which then runs argocd app list with no server and expects 'server address unspecified'. The server is a cluster install, not this role. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.
ansible-cilium-cli
cilium on EL 10 from the GitHub release, refused by Ansible's get_url unless its SHA-256 is the one in the per-asset .sha256sum Cilium publishes, and re-checked with sha256sum -c by the live test, which then runs cilium config view with no cluster and expects the refused connection. Installing Cilium into a cluster stays yours. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.
ansible-flux-cli
flux on EL 10 from the GitHub release, refused by Ansible's get_url unless its SHA-256 is the one in the vendor's checksums file, and re-checked with sha256sum -c by the live test, which then runs flux check --pre with no cluster and expects the refused connection. Flux also signs the checksums with cosign; this role checks the hash. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.
ansible-helm
helm on EL 10 from get.helm.sh, refused by Ansible's get_url unless its SHA-256 is the one in the .sha256sum file published beside the tarball, and re-checked with sha256sum -c by the live test, which then runs helm list with no cluster and expects 'kubernetes cluster unreachable'. Pinned; a newer release is a variable change. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.
ansible-helmfile
helmfile on EL 10 from the GitHub release, refused by Ansible's get_url unless its SHA-256 is the one in the project's checksums file, and re-checked with sha256sum -c by the live test, which then runs helmfile list on a one-release file with no helm on the host and expects it to read the file and stop at the missing helm; pair it with the helm role. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.
ansible-kube-linter
kube-linter on EL 10 from the GitHub release, pinned by a SHA-256 the role carries (the vendor publishes no checksum file), re-checked by the live test, which then lints a Deployment with one container and nothing else, expecting run-as-non-root, no-read-only-root-fs and the two unset-resource checks with exit 1. Pinned. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.
