ansible_env.HOME is only available when environment facts are gathered. This play/role disables normal fact gathering and the setup task in this file only gathers date_time, so ansible_env.HOME may be undefined and cause the same immediate failure you’re trying to avoid. Use lookup('env', 'HOME') or adjust the setup/fact gathering to include the env subset before using ansible_env.HOME.

Suggested change
home_dir: "{{ ansible_env.HOME }}"
home_dir: "{{ lookup('env', 'HOME') }}"

ansible_env.HOME will be undefined here unless the env fact subset is gathered. This role/play disables full fact gathering (playbooks/kubernetes_setup.yml sets gather_facts: no), and the only setup call in this task file gathers date_time only, so this change can still fail with an undefined-variable error. Consider using lookup('env', 'HOME') (works without facts for local connections) or expand the ansible.builtin.setup gather_subset to include env before referencing ansible_env.HOME.

Suggested change
home_dir: "{{ ansible_env.HOME }}"
home_dir: "{{ lookup('env', 'HOME') }}"
