Not Retrying when ssh to root account fails

System info:
  Ansible 2.3.2.0; Darwin
  Trellis at "Add Vagrant post up message"

Production deployment isn’t working anymore. It’s been at least a year since I have deployed.

Root account has been disabled for ssh and I believe the playbook is supposed to retry connecting as admin but it isn’t.

I can modify line 13 of roles/remote-user/tasks/main.yml:

from

ansible_user: "{{ root_status | default({'failed':false}) | success | ternary('root', admin_user) }}"

to

ansible_user: "{{ root_status | default({'failed':false}) | success | ternary('admin', admin_user) }}"

And get a connection, but I’m guessing that there’s a config elsewhere that needs to be addressed.
