Changing role variables does nothing to existing domains

Description
Hello,
I wish there is a way to edit a domain property just by editing the role variable. For now, editing the variables does not affect the domains that are already defined.
For instance, if a domain that has 1024 MB of memory, if I change the memory_mb to 2048 and then execute the role, nothing happens. Same for adding a disk.
Would that be reasonable to fix this behavior ?

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or specific entry points; start by tracing how this Ansible role handles already-defined libvirt domains when role variables change. Check how memory and disks are currently applied, then verify that rerunning the role updates existing domains without disrupting unchanged configuration.
