Objectives

  1. Clarify workflow and differences between the Installer and Capistrano
  2. Warn installer users about the configurable variables just before the install command. I think most users probably prefer to customize some variables before running the installer.

Deployers should scan group_vars/all and the documented variables first so
they do not provision with placeholder credentials or unrelated defaults.

Explain that the playbook can be re-run for supported infrastructure changes
(SSL or Ansible variables), while application deploys remain handled by
Capistrano. Clarify that re-running the installer is not a safe migration
path across installer versions.
