"task: Task not found" — Check the exact task name with task --list-all. Namespace and command are separated by :.
Wrong environment — ENV defaults to dev. Always pass ENV=wil (or your environment) explicitly.
Ansible timeout — Add -vvv for verbose output: edit the task in .taskfiles/ansible/Taskfile.yaml and add -vvv to EXTRA_ARGS.
