 - VM params (`mgmt_vmid`, `mgmt_ip`, `mgmt_gateway`, `mgmt_dns`) are empty in `group_vars/all.yml`;
  Play 1 asserts on them.
 - `clusterctl` is not installed on the laptop either (needed for phase-1 Step 3, not for this playbook).

+### `--tags vm`, first attempt (2026-09-27 09:30 CEST, owner)
+
+Owner authorised the laptop key on `pv1-1`, installed ansible locally and filled in VM params
+(`mgmt_vmid: 201`, `mgmt_ip: 192.168.4.21/24`, gateway `192.168.4.8`).
+
+```bash
+ansible-playbook mgmt.yml --tags vm
+# TASK [Create the VM]
+# "cmd": [..., "--nameserver", "8.8.8.8,", "2.2.2.2"]
+# stderr: 400 too many arguments
+```
+
+`mgmt_dns` was the string `"8.8.8.8, 2.2.2.2"`; the command module splits on whitespace, so
+`qm` got two positional leftovers. Fix: `mgmt_dns` is now a list and the task passes
+`--nameserver '{{ mgmt_dns | join(' ') }}'` as one argument (space-separated is PVE's format for
+the cloud-init nameserver list). Image download and key staging had already succeeded and are
+idempotent on re-run; `qm status 201` confirmed no half-created VM was left behind.
