A user definition that declares no password falls back to
{{ 42 | strong_password }}. That is a template, not a value: it is re-rendered
at every use site, so the task that creates an account and the task that later
authenticates as it read two different secrets. The account exists and the
login fails. Inventory creation now decides the value once, after the roles are
resolved and next to the role credentials that were already generated there.
The scope follows the deployment: only roles resolved into this inventory
contribute users, an existing password is never overwritten, and a second run
writes nothing.
Building it duplicated what the package already carried three to seven times
over: an ensure-map helper defined three times, the same fifteen-line
round-trip load repeated seven times, and the vault encrypt-and-reparse dance
twice. They now live in one module, the round-trip counterpart to the existing
read-only yaml_io. host_vars drops from 213 to 130 lines, and its two override
entry points share the merge they used to copy. Behaviour is unchanged, and
that is measured rather than asserted: the committed versions and the new ones
were driven against the same host_vars and produced byte-identical output for
all six writers, comment placement and vault block layout included.
The adapter probes move into their own folder because a shared file-name prefix
reads as a folder in disguise, and the lint that enforces it scans the tracked
file list, so the repository was failing on it. A test that was defined at
module level instead of inside its class, and therefore never ran, is indented
back in.
Root cause of the DinD DNS-check failure on test-deploy-server
(networks.internet.ip4 falling through to 127.0.0.1 despite
INFINITO_IP4=172.30.0.10 reaching every link of the env pipeline):
cli/administration/inventory/provision/cli.py declared --ip4 with a
hardcoded default of "127.0.0.1" and ensure_host_vars_file wrote that
value unconditionally into host_vars/<host>.yml. group_vars'
defaults_networks.internet.ip4 resolves "172.30.0.10" via
\`lookup('env', 'INFINITO_IP4')\`, but tasks/stages/01_constructor.yml
merges \`defaults_networks | combine(networks | default({}, true))\` so
host_vars wins. INFINITO_IP4 looked broken end-to-end; the breakage
actually lived in the provision-CLI host_vars overlay.
INFINITO_DNS_IP and INFINITO_DOMAIN propagated correctly because
the provision CLI had no --dns and the --primary-domain write was
None-gated and never invoked.
While here, --ssl-disabled and --primary-domain are removed too:
neither had any effect in the dev flow. provision/cli.py applies
\`--vars-file inventories/development/default.yml\` AFTER
ensure_host_vars_file via apply_vars_overrides_from_file, whose
_deep_update_commented_map unconditionally overwrites
(\`target[key] = value\`). The dev vars-file always set
\`TLS_ENABLED: true\`, so \`--ssl-disabled\` (which forced
\`TLS_ENABLED: false\` in host_vars) was systematically reverted to
true. Dev/CI ran with TLS enabled the whole time. Inventory stays at
\`TLS_ENABLED: true\` to preserve that effective behaviour.
Removed from cli/administration/inventory/provision/cli.py:
- --ip4, --ip6: defaulted to 127.0.0.1 / ::1, shadowed group_vars
- --primary-domain: never set by any caller, None-gated write
- --ssl-disabled: always re-overwritten by --vars-file later in the
same provision pass
Removed from cli/administration/inventory/provision/host_vars.py the
matching writes in ensure_host_vars_file; the function now only sets
\`ansible_connection: local\` for localhost-class hosts. Defaults for
DOMAIN_PRIMARY / TLS_ENABLED / networks.internet.{ip4,ip6} live in
group_vars (env-driven) and the inventory vars-file (deployment-wide
flags); host_vars stops duplicating them.
Callers cleaned up:
- cli/administration/deploy/development/inventory/builder.py
- cli/administration/deploy/container/command.py
- scripts/tests/deploy/local/utils/fresh-kept-all-init-and-deploy.sh
- scripts/tests/deploy/local/reset/inventory.sh
Tests + docs follow:
- tests/unit/cli/administration/inventory/provision/test_host_vars.py
now asserts host_vars no longer carries baked DOMAIN_PRIMARY /
TLS_ENABLED / networks defaults
- docs/administration/deploy.md drops --ssl-disabled from the
provision example
- docs/contributing/design/inventory.md re-scopes the host_vars
column: the DOMAIN_PRIMARY / TLS_ENABLED / networks.internet.{ip4,ip6}
values arrive via --vars / --vars-file overlays, otherwise group_vars
provides the env-driven default

TC (flake8-type-checking): typing-only imports moved into
``if TYPE_CHECKING:`` blocks across 8 source files via auto-fix
(117 hits). Reduces runtime import surface and rules out circular
imports for type-only deps. Project-wide ``from __future__ import
annotations`` (FA, already enabled) keeps annotations as strings,
so the moved imports never need to load at runtime.
N (pep8-naming): 32 hits handled.
Renames (semantic + lint):
- ``isSmallerThenMaximumBackupSize`` -> ``is_larger_than_maximum_backup_size``
(snake_case + fixes both the typo "Then -> Than" and the
semantic mismatch: the function returns ``current > maximum``)
- ``isDirectoryDeletable`` / ``deleteVersion`` /
``getAmountOfIteration`` / ``deleteIteration`` -> snake_case
- 8 test functions with ALL-CAPS env-var fragments
(``test_..._DOMAIN_PRIMARY_...`` etc.) -> snake_case
- Mock alias ``VH`` -> ``vh`` in test_host_vars.py
Exception class renames (``N818`` Error suffix):
- ``TimeLimitExceededException`` -> ``TimeLimitExceededError``
- ``AttemptException`` -> ``AttemptError``
- ``PathNotFound`` -> ``PathNotFoundError`` (propagated across
4 callers under tests/integration/lookups/config/)
- ``_ExitJson`` / ``_FailJson`` -> ``*_Error``
Refactor:
- ``METADATA = {...}`` local constant in two functions of
``plugins/filter/invokable_paths.py`` lifted to module-level
``_METADATA_KEYS``.
- ``from typing import TYPE_CHECKING`` in
``tasks/utils/migrate_meta_layout/__main__.py`` moved above
the ``sys.path.insert`` hack to satisfy E402 (collateral from
the TC auto-fix that landed it after the path mutation).
Per-file ignores in pyproject.toml for the legitimate cases the
rule cannot accept:
- ``pull-specific-host.py`` -> ``N999`` (Ansible-invoked role-level
script, hyphenated filename pinned by the surrounding stack).
- 4 matrix-deploy files -> ``N806`` for the ``include_R`` /
``raw_include_R`` round-index notation; the uppercase ``R``
here mirrors the formula in the docstring rather than naming
a constant.
- ``plugins/filter/value_generator.py`` -> ``N806`` for the
lazy-loaded class binding ``ValueGenerator =
_value_generator_cls()``, which retains the imported class
identifier per PEP 8.
