Hi,

I may suggest a compromise that will allow not to break the model, and
moving forward with you patch.
If you can make it work, you can try to move the working_dir creation
tasks to the provision role.
You already moved working_dir default var to common role, so it should
work.

Any other thoughts ?
Thanks for raising the question.
