to make this more accessible for others we could define specs in some serialization format - maybe even yaml.

roles need to provide specs.
For now I'm thinking of simple clojure files containing specs used to validate a variable map for a specific host.

spec validation is run in the configuration aka playbook project. so we need some kind of watch-mechanism that triggers on changes in a roles folder and (=or) the roles behind a requirements.yml.

given a playbook read inventory/host_vars/group_vars etc.
result should be at least a map where top level entity is host.

• runs in the playbook project (aka configuration project)
• runs validation (as notified / as required (partial incremental validation?))
• loops
• gives feedback:
  • i think of browsertab with green/red icon. containing actual error messages
• error messages provide hints to where something might have gone wrong. (input map from parser should contain location info, that indicates the origin of the variable, possibly even var-precedency overridden occurrances too)
