Release 2.1.85 (2026-06-29)

Features

• honor repo-local ansible-lint skip_list/exclude_paths (#1954) The ansible-lint stage passes the bundled config via -c, which makes ansible-lint ignore the consuming repo's local .ansible-lint* config entirely. A repo therefore could not defer specific rules (skip_list) or scope out non-Ansible YAML (exclude_paths), even for legitimate first-adoption reasons — the only lever was full compliance or nothing.

Keep the bundled rules as the baseline but read the repo's local config and re-express its skip_list and exclude_paths as -x rule1,rule2 and --exclude <path> flags layered on top of -c. A malformed local config fails the stage loudly rather than silently dropping the intended skips.

Adds pyyaml as a runtime dependency (and types-pyyaml for the type stubs) to parse the local config robustly.

• vrg-activity-log generator (recently closed work -> ledger) (#1955)
