Ansible-core stable-2.17 and stable-2.18 branches’ ansible-test replaced its FreeBSD 13.3 VM with FreeBSD 13.5:

- [[stable-2.18] Replace FreeBSD 13.3 with FreeBSD 13.5 by mattclay · Pull Request #85532 · ansible/ansible · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/85532)

If you’re using the FreeBSD 13.3 VM in CI (AZP) with ansible-core 2.17 or 2.18, you should adjust it to FreeBSD 13.5 to avoid CI breakage.
