Documents why `ansible myhost -m ping` fails with Permission denied while `ssh myhost` works — SSH Host blocks match on literal pattern, not on resolved HostName, so `ansible_host: <IP>` bypasses the alias and the declared IdentityFile never gets applied. Covers the portable fix (ansible_ssh_private_key_file in host_vars), the symlink sidebar for standardizing key names across control nodes, alternatives, and a diagnosis checklist. Also catches index.md up with the ansible-check-mode-false-positives article that was already published but missing from the nav.
