Problem
Kconfig configuration options that are gated behind conditional logic are currently not exported into .extra_vars_auto.yaml → extra_vars.yaml when using the output YAML option.

The extra_vars.yaml file is used as the execution environment for Ansible playbooks. If a variable is not present in this file and is also not defined in the corresponding role defaults (i.e. playbooks/roles/<role_name>/defaults/main.yml), then playbook execution may fail due to undefined variables. This creates failures when running playbooks outside the full kdevops environment, and reduces portability.
Task
Ensure that Kconfig-derived variables behind conditionals are still exported to .extra_vars_auto.yaml -> extra_vars.yaml.

.extra_vars_auto.yaml->extra_vars.yaml.Note
All Kconfig-derived variables must be defined in every role that uses them, following the same default value specified in Kconfig. If a role does not define a default for a variable it references, the default must be added to ensure portability of the playbook.
