Vars can be defined on the same level as roles and hosts:

- hosts: localhost
  vars:
    pybasever: 3.11
  roles:
  - role: standard-test-basic
  ...

I would need to dig more for this one.

The easiest way is to make a test run with a test just printing all
ENV variables, and checking if you can find the variable with the
right data in the log.

My uneducated guess would be that

    "{{ lookup('env', 'TEST_SUBJECTS') }}"

will provide the data. And then some more Ansible filter magic needed
to get the substring from it.

For example, with split

Or with regex_search,
