points to implicitly trigger handler runs (after pre/post tasks, the final role execution, and the main tasks section of your plays).

re-executed. If the dynamic inventory script is using a cache, Ansible cannot know this and has no way of refreshing it (you can disable the cache
or, if available for your specific inventory datasource (e.g. aws), you can use the an inventory plugin instead of an inventory script).
This is mainly useful when additional hosts are created and users wish to use them instead of using the M(ansible.builtin.add_host) module.

including the fact cache.
- - C(clear_host_errors) (added in Ansible 2.1) clears the failed state (if any) from hosts specified in the play's list of hosts.
- - C(end_play) (added in Ansible 2.2) causes the play to end without failing the host(s). Note that this affects all hosts.
- - C(reset_connection) (added in Ansible 2.3) interrupts a persistent connection (i.e. ssh + control persist)
- - C(end_host) (added in Ansible 2.8) is a per-host variation of C(end_play). Causes the play to end for the current host without failing it.
