chrisfu b245593b0c fix(ansible): workstation install script + Makefile target for local Macs
ansible_become_ask_pass in group_vars does not reliably trigger an
interactive sudo prompt for ansible_connection=local — Ansible cannot
prompt per-host mid-play. The fix is a wrapper script that passes
-K / --ask-become-pass before any play execution.

- infrastructure/bin/install_workstation.sh: auto-detects FQDN, adds
  --ask-become-pass, passes extra args through. Run from repo root:
    ./infrastructure/bin/install_workstation.sh
    make workstation
- Makefile: add 'workstation' target pointing to the script
- group_vars/workstations.yml: drop ansible_become_ask_pass (does not
  work), keep ansible_pipelining=false (needed for SSH workstations
  with sudo passwords — pipelining replaces stdin, breaking sudo -S)

# Workstation-specific Ansible connection overrides.
#
# Servers (k3s nodes, VMs) have pipelining=True in ansible.cfg for performance.
# Personal Macs/Linux workstations need pipelining disabled: pipelining replaces
# stdin with a pipe, which prevents sudo from prompting for a password
# (sudo -S reads the password from stdin; if that's a pipe, sudo sees EOF and
# falls back to "sudo: a password is required").
#
# Note: ansible_become_ask_pass in inventory does NOT reliably trigger an
# interactive terminal prompt for local connections. Use the wrapper script
# instead:
# ./infrastructure/bin/install_workstation.sh
# which adds --ask-become-pass (-K) automatically.
