Summary

After a power loss, minikube's Docker container (host) restarts but kubelet/apiserver remain stopped
The ansible role's status check used --format='{{.Host}}' which only examined the host VM state
When host=Running but kubelet/apiserver=Stopped, the role skipped minikube start
Fixed to use full minikube status exit code (returns non-zero when any component is unhealthy)
Simplified all downstream conditions to use exit code instead of string matching

Test plan

Verified the fix correctly skips minikube start when cluster is already fully running
Pre-commit hooks pass (ansible-lint, yamllint, etc.)

Fix minikube role skipping start when kubelet/apiserver are stopped e39b601353

After a power loss, minikube's Docker container (host) comes back up but
kubelet and apiserver remain stopped. The status check used
`--format='{{.Host}}'` which only examined the host state, causing the
role to skip `minikube start` since it saw "Running". Remove the format
flag so `minikube status` returns non-zero (exit 7) when any component
is unhealthy, and simplify all conditions to use the exit code alone.
