25.9.0 run-once[play] cannot be ignored

[MallocArray]

Summary

After upgrading to 25.9.0, a playbook is showing a fatal violation for using strategy: free even though I have # noqa: run-once[play] on the same line which should ignore it. Was working with 25.5.0

Issue Type

• Bug Report

OS / ENVIRONMENT

ansible-lint 25.9.0 using ansible-core:2.19.2 ansible-compat:25.8.1 ruamel-yaml:0.18.15 ruamel-yaml-clib:0.2.12

• ansible installation method: pip, ansible-builder, or included in Azure DevOps agent
• ansible-lint installation method: pip3

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

ansible-lint test.yml

---
- name: This is a playbook
  hosts: my_host_list
  gather_facts: false
  strategy: free  # noqa: run-once[play]
  tasks:
    - name: Debug
      debug:
        msg: "This is a test playbook"

Desired Behavior

The fact that this playbook uses strategy: free should be ignored and not return an error

Possible security bugs should be reported via email to security@ansible.com

Actual Behavior

Please give some details of what is happening. Include a minimum complete
verifiable example with:

• minimized playbook to reproduce the error
• the output of running ansible-lint including the command line used
• if you're getting a stack trace, also the output of
  ansible-playbook --syntax-check playbook

ansible-lint test.yml
WARNING  Listing 1 violation(s) that are fatal
