### Added

- **ci-ansible-molecule-kvm.yml**: New reusable Molecule runner that boots full
VMs via the `molecule-qemu` driver instead of the docker driver, for roles
that need a real kernel and init system (k3s `modprobe`/cgroups, container
engines, agents that must run as a stable `systemd` service — under docker
the unit reports started while it has crash-looped, masking config bugs).
GitHub-hosted `ubuntu-latest` exposes a writable `/dev/kvm`, so the job
installs `qemu-system-x86`/`qemu-utils`/`genisoimage`, adds the runner to the
`kvm` group, and runs molecule via `sg kvm`; molecule-qemu auto-detects KVM
acceleration and falls back to TCG. Validated end-to-end on `arillso.agent`
(alloy) and `arillso.container` (k3s). Docker-driver roles keep using
`ci-ansible-molecule.yml`
- **AGENTS.md**: New "Ansible Collection Conventions" section documenting the
shared release workflow shape (`name`, `run-name`, `concurrency`), the
Keep-a-Changelog format, the cross-collection dependency-bound matrix
