Enhancement or feature description

To ensure consistent compatibility and reliability across the collection, we need to implement a dependency checker for all modules. This checker should validate that each module explicitly declares and adheres to its required dependencies, including:

• ZOAU (Z Open Automation Utilities)
• Python
• Ansible Core

Additionally, developer must test each module against a matrix of supported versions for these.

Implement a reusable dependency validation mechanism for all modules.
Ensure each module is tested against a defined matrix of:

• ZOAU versions (e.g., 1.2.x, 1.3.x, 1.4.x)

• Python versions (e.g., 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11)

• Ansible Core versions (e.g., 2.13, 2.14, 2.15)

• Implement a dependency checker utility.

• Integrate the checker into each module’.

• Define a version matrix for ZOAU, Python, and Ansible Core.

• Update CI workflows to run tests across the version matrix.

• Document the supported versions and testing strategy.

Acceptance Criteria:

• All modules include dependency validation in their test suite.
• CI runs tests across the full version matrix.
• Failures due to incompatible versions are clearly reported.
