Playbooks can ship a human description Steward reads and shows when one is
selected. Convention: a `# description: <text>` magic comment (Ansible rejects
unknown play keys, so a comment is the portable place — works for third-party
playbooks too); falls back to the first play's name:. sources
.discover_playbook_description().
Surfaced at the top of the shared _playbook_vars.html partial, which loads on
playbook selection in the host run form, schedules form, and browse run form.
All four bundled playbooks (provision/install/update/docker_prune) now carry a
description line. Unit tests added.

Stop making operators type playbook paths and guess extra-var names.
- Reusable infra: shared ansible/_playbook_vars.html (the discovered-variable
fields) + ansible/_playbook_options.html; two HTMX endpoints —
/ansible/playbook-options (a source's playbooks, optional ?selected for edit)
and /ansible/playbook-vars (a playbook's vars:/vars_prompt: as fill-in
fields). browse _run_form.html refactored to include the shared partial.
- Host "Run a playbook against this host": source dropdown → playbook dropdown
→ variable fields, all chained via HTMX. Handler reuses _parse_run_params so
var__/secret__ fields flow through extra_vars_map + the unpersisted
secret_vars channel.
- Schedules: playbook free-text+datalist → source-dependent dropdown; fixed the
extra-vars edit pre-fill to read extra_vars_map (stale list key after the
earlier JSON-extra-vars change).
