Hi, ansible community! I have encountered an issue where if sudo -i has not been executed in the current command line session before, the become:true portion in Ansible will get stuck.

```auto

- hosts: localhost
connection: local
gather_facts: true

tasks:
- name: "verify become is not stuck"
ansible.builtin.command: "echo ok"

```

Has anyone else encountered the same issue? Or is this a known problem?

My envirement info:

```auto
