The provision_droplet (which invokes the provision_droplet.yml Playbook) tries to

• Verify that the normal user exists on the Droplet
• Verify that the user's .authorized_keys file exists and is correct
• Verify that the normal user has been added to docker and sudo groups
• ...

It bombs when it tries to establish a connection to the remote host, because root login is locked out. That wasn't the case 10 hours ago as I type this; this script hadn't been touched for several iterations (through previous repos) because it (heretofore) worked.

I'm deeply confused.
