feat(ansible): add the Kashiwanoha CARLA map to demo_artifacts

[xmfcx]

Description

The demo_artifacts role now downloads the Kashiwanoha map for the CARLA demo. The map lives on Hugging Face as the dataset AutowareFoundation/map-carla-kashiwanoha, pinned to tag 0.2.0. It lands in ~/autoware_data/maps/carla-kashiwanoha/, beside the two sample maps.

The dataset is a complete Autoware map directory plus the CARLA side of the same roads:

File	Read by
lanelet2_map.osm	Autoware
map_projector_info.yaml	Autoware
kashiwanoha.xodr	CARLA, to build the world

CARLA has no map of this area. The world is built from the OpenDRIVE at run time. The dataset card carries that step and the provenance of each file: https://huggingface.co/datasets/AutowareFoundation/map-carla-kashiwanoha

The task uses the same hf download loop shape as the artifacts role, so the next map dataset is one more loop entry. It passes --repo-type dataset, because this is a dataset repository. It excludes the demo video in the dataset, which no node reads. The huggingface_cli role joins the dependencies of demo_artifacts, so hf is present on a clean host.

The role README gets the new directory in the layout tree and a short note on the three files.

The map was first proposed as files inside autoware_universe. That PR was closed, and the data moved to the Hub, the same route as the models.

• feat(autoware_carla_interface): add an OpenDRIVE test map for Kashiwanoha autoware_universe#13310

The CARLA demo compose file does not use this map yet. That change waits for the next release, because the published images carry an autoware_carla_interface from before the carla_map override.

• Release 1.10.0 #7283

AI usage

AI usage: Written with Claude Code: the role change, the README, the dataset completion on Hugging Face, and the verification below. I read every line.

Self-review: It downloads fine, also ran carla on my local. Safe to merge.

Verification: The task ran standalone against tag 0.2.0 and produced the three map files with matching checksums. The result directory then carried a full autonomous drive in CARLA.

The download task, standalone against localhost

The new task, copied verbatim into a one host playbook. Ubuntu 24.04, hf 1.28.0 from pipx.
