You're so close. You're passing in a list as a single item. Instead of
loop:
- "{{ found_files.files | map(attribute='path') | map('basename') | list }}"
do this:
loop: "{{ found_files.files | map(attribute='path') | map('basename') | list
}}"

so, it looks I would be getting closer, but obviousely need to fond a way to
feed this as single items into a koop pf a fetch TASK. At the moment this is
bein interpreted as one long string
"item": [
".pg-service10.env",
".pg-service11.env",
".pg-service12.env",
".pg-service13.env",
".pg-service14.env",
".pg-service15.env",
".pg-service16.env",
".pg-service17.env",
".pg-service18.env"
],
"msg": "the remote file does not exist, not transferring, ignored"
which to no big surprise isn't recognized as what it should by the fetch TASK
here is the entire part of the playbook addressing the fetching
