Cilium CLI, Checked Against The Published Checksums
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.

Documentation
cilium-cli
Cilium cilium 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 cilium, and a
third-party repository is one more key to trust. This role takes the
release from github.com/cilium/cilium-cli, 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. cilium_cli_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 cilium config view and expects
"connect: connection refused" - the binary ran all the way to the point where it
needed something this host does not have.
One checksum file per asset. Cilium publishes
cilium-linux-<arch>.tar.gz.sha256sum beside each tarball rather than one
list; the role names the file for the target's architecture. cilium version --client also prints the Cilium image version this CLI would
install by default (v1.20.1 here); installing Cilium into a cluster
(cilium install) is a per-cluster act and stays yours. cilium config view with no cluster is refused on localhost:8080, the live test's proof
that the client ran.

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-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-k9s
k9s 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.sha256, and re-checked with sha256sum -c by the live test. A terminal UI needs a kubeconfig to show anything, so the live test uses k9s version and k9s info, which print the version and the per-user config paths. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.
ansible-kind
kind 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 kind publishes, and re-checked with sha256sum -c by the live test. kind needs a container runtime it does not bring (podman on EL 10); kind get clusters with none stops at 'failed to list clusters'. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.
ansible-kubectl
kubectl on EL 10 from dl.k8s.io, refused by Ansible's get_url unless its SHA-256 is the one in the kubectl.sha256 file published beside it. The live test hashes the binary on disk against that file again and runs kubectl get nodes with no cluster, expecting the refused connection on localhost:8080. Pinned; a newer release is a variable change. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.
