Refactor Ansible playbooks to comply with best practices and fix linting violations

- Implement 4-role architecture (base_provision, patching, hardening, decommission)
- Extract hardcoded values to role defaults and group_vars
- Add Ansible Vault integration for secrets management
- Implement proper handlers for service restarts instead of direct tasks
- Add Molecule testing framework with Docker driver
- Configure ansible-lint with production profile settings

Fix all 125+ ansible-lint violations:
- Add FQCN (Fully Qualified Collection Names) to all modules
- Replace yes/no with true/false for boolean values
- Add explicit mode parameters to file/template operations
- Remove duplicate post_tasks blocks from playbooks
- Add newlines at end of all YAML files
- Fix key ordering in tasks (name, when, block)
- Convert service restarts to handlers with notify
- Remove ignore_errors in favor of failed_when/changed_when
- Fix line length violations and empty lines
- Add noqa comments for unavoidable risky-file-permissions

Update documentation:
- Add REFACTORING.md with implementation details
- Add VAULT_GUIDE.md for secrets management
- Add per-role README.md files
- Update existing documentation

All playbooks now pass ansible-lint production profile with 0 violations.

+# Hardening Role
+
+Apply security hardening to enterprise infrastructure nodes following CIS benchmarks.
+
+## Features
+
+- **CIS Compliance**: Support for CIS hardening levels 1 and 2
+- **SSH Hardening**: Disable root login, password auth, set auth limits
+- **Firewall Configuration**: UFW with configurable rules
+- **Service Cleanup**: Disable unnecessary services and remove insecure packages
+- **Handlers**: SSH restarts via handlers
+
+## Role Variables
+
+See `defaults/main.yml` for all available variables.
+
+### Key Variables
+
+- `cis_level`: CIS hardening level (1 or 2)
+- `disable_root_login`: Disable root SSH login (default: true)
+- `secure_ssh_config`: Apply SSH security hardening (default: true)
+- `firewall_policy`: Firewall default policy (default: deny)
+- `ssh_max_auth_tries`: Maximum SSH authentication attempts (default: 3)
+- `ssh_client_alive_interval`: SSH client alive interval in seconds (default: 300)
+- `ssh_allowed_networks`: Networks allowed SSH access from
+
+### SSH Allowed Networks
+
+Default trusted networks:
+- 10.0.0.0/8 (Private Class A)
+- 172.16.0.0/12 (Private Class B)
+- 192.168.0.0/16 (Private Class C)
+
+## Usage
+
+```yaml
+- role: hardening
+  vars:
+    cis_level: 1
+    disable_root_login: true
+    ssh_allowed_networks:
+      - 10.0.0.0/8
+      - 203.0.113.0/24
+```
+
+## SSH Configuration Changes
+
+- Root login disabled
+- Password authentication disabled
+- Maximum auth tries: 3
+- Empty passwords prohibited
+- Client alive interval: 300 seconds
+- Client alive count max: 2
+
+## Tags
+
+- `hardening`: All hardening tasks
+- `security`: Security-related tasks
