Enum ArgStatus 

pub enum ArgStatus {
    Honoured,
    Inert,
    Refused(Option<bool>),
}

What one module does with one of its arguments.

A module being in NATIVE_MODULES says it runs; it says nothing about the rest of its API, and an argument accepted and then dropped reports success having done something other than what the playbook asked for. The status is per argument so that neither answer is a guess.

Variants

Honoured

Read, and the value decides what runs.

It says the argument is read, not that it is coerced the way the reference coerces it. chdir, creates and removes are type='path' there, which expands ~ and $VAR before the value is used, and this release takes the value as it is written.

Inert

The reference accepts the name on this module and acts on it nowhere, which is what this release does with it too - executable on command, where no shell runs for it to select. Nothing to promise and nothing to refuse, so it is out of the generated page.

Refused(Option<bool>)

The reference has it and this release does not do what it asks for. Named by the pre-flight, before the first connection, rather than accepted and forgotten.

The value carried is the one that is refused, the way check_mode is refused for true and runs for false: the other value asks for what this release already does, and refusing that would stop a playbook the two engines agreed on. None refuses the name whatever the value says.
