Grype, Checked Against The Published Checksums
grype on EL 10 from the GitHub release, refused by Ansible's get_url unless its SHA-256 is the one in Anchore's checksums file, and re-checked with sha256sum -c by the live test, which then runs grype db status with no database fetched and expects 'database does not exist'. Anchore also signs the checksums with cosign; the role checks the hash. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.

Documentation
grype
Anchore grype 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 grype, and a
third-party repository is one more key to trust. This role takes the
release from github.com/anchore/grype, 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. grype_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 grype db status and expects
"database does not exist" - the binary ran all the way to the point where it
needed something this host does not have.
The scanner without its database. Grype downloads its vulnerability
database on first use into ~/.cache/grype/db; this role installs the
binary only. grype db status on a host that has never fetched it says
"database does not exist", the live test's proof the binary ran to its
own cache. Anchore also signs the checksum file with cosign (.sig and
.pem beside it); this role checks the SHA-256.

ansible-lynis
Lynis from EPEL on a systemd timer, with the units the package keeps only in its docs, your skipped tests in custom.prf, and a minimum hardening index below which the audit unit fails, so a falling score shows as a failed unit. The live test runs the audit, reads the index and the tests that ran, and finds the timer enabled. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.
ansible-suricata
Suricata from EPEL watching the default-route interface as the suricata user, ET Open fetched at install and refreshed daily, plus a canary rule that proves the sensor is alive. A root-run check left root-owned logs and a daemon recording nothing; the role prevents it. The live test raises the canary alert while a second lookup is logged, not alerted. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.
ansible-aide
AIDE from AppStream on EL 10: a watched tree, a baseline database built once, and the oneshot unit and timer the package does not ship. The live test passes on an unchanged host, FAILS when a file appears inside a watched path and names it, ignores one inside an excluded path, and passes again once the change is gone. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.
ansible-389-ds
389 Directory Server from AppStream. A fresh instance listens on every interface and lets anonymous clients read the tree; this role binds both listeners to loopback and limits anonymous clients to the rootDSE. The live test adds a user who binds, sees a wrong password and an anonymous search refused, and reads the LDAPS certificate. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.
ansible-krb5-kdc
An MIT Kerberos KDC: the realm created once with a stash, kadmind behind an ACL, a default policy that locks an account after five wrong passwords, every listener on loopback. The KDC starts on a broken config without a word, so the live test proves each setting by behaviour: the ticket lifetime, the refusals, the lockout. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.
ansible-authelia
Authelia from the upstream release (sha256-verified) as a hardened system service on loopback with file users and sqlite; its secrets are generated once on the host and reach the service as AUTHELIA_*_FILE variables. The live test hashes a password with Authelia's hasher, logs in, sees a wrong password refused and an anonymous visitor sent to the portal. Original role, live-tested on Rocky 10.
