Chromium: same page, same machine, idle, Firefox 24.2% of a core against Chromium's
11.4%. The build comes from archive.raspberrypi.com (a "+rpt" version) and is patched
for this board's V3D GPU; Debian ships a much older chromium, so the archive matters.
The whole userland here is 32-bit armhf on a 64-bit kernel, which Firefox handles worse
than Chromium does. --use-gl=egl, --enable-gpu-rasterization, --ignore-gpu-blocklist
and --enable-zero-copy are what keep rasterization on the GPU: Chromium's blocklist
does not recognise this driver and silently falls back to software without them.
pi_kiosk_browser: firefox still works, as the fallback if an update ever regresses.
Debug mode also gains xdotool, scrot and --remote-debugging-port=9222 (on 127.0.0.1),
because firing XTEST key events at a window lands about half the time and a benchmark
you cannot verify the state of is worse than none.
pi_squeezeserver gains an absent path, and mediapis.yml derives its state from
mediapi_has_squeezeserver, which defaults to false for the whole group. false means
"actively remove", not "skip": musicdolphin has been running a Logitech Media Server
that no playbook installs and nothing talks to - every squeezelite in the fleet points
at pi_squeezelite_squeezeserver (192.168.178.80, the server) - while costing ~30 MB
resident and ~47 MB of swap on a 2 GB Pi that also drives the kiosk. The absent path
stops it, purges the package, unregisters it from sysdweb, drops the port 80 -> 9000
redirect and deletes its database and logs.

- Auto-fix FQCN, YAML formatting, jinja spacing, and free-form module
syntax via ansible-lint --fix
- Fix comments misplaced inside module args by the auto-fixer
(bluetooth-monitor, pi_standard_setup, pi_musicmouse)
- Fix notify: references left stale (lowercase) after handler names
were re-cased, which would have silently broken reboot/restart
handlers (pi_disable_onboard_bluetooth, pi_hifiberry_amp,
pi_squeezelite, pi_standard_setup)
- Fix a task in pis/debmatic-install.yml missing its module name
(apt_repository), which caused a real syntax-check failure
- Add missing play names, fix comment spacing, literal-compare idiom,
and no-changed-when annotations
- Delete unused/broken roles/better-shell-env (unreferenced, invalid YAML)
- Rename all hyphenated role directories to underscore form to satisfy
ansible-lint's role-name rule, updating every playbook/meta reference
Remaining lint findings (var-naming, package-latest, risky-file-permissions,
no-handler) intentionally left for follow-up per user decision.
