Ansible forks a fresh worker process for every task, so the in-process
cache behind lookup('applications') was cold in every task. Each task that
touched the merged applications tree (config, domains, nginx, tls, cdn and
their callers) paid a full render: about 16 s on main and 21 to 23 s on this
branch, where ten more application roles carry MCP and AI Jinja. Measured on
the workspace jobs of run 33574056480 against the main run: 331 such tasks
(93 min, 39 % of the job) versus 391 (141 min, 43 %); the same unit is 9 to
43 % of every compose and swarm deploy job on disk. The parent process
rendered once per play, late, while templating a task name, and only the
tasks after that point ran warm.
The constructor now renders once through the new applications_carrier
action and parks the payload with its cache key in the host fact
_INFINITO_APPLICATIONS_RENDERED. Every later worker inherits the fact at
fork time and get_merged_applications serves it while the key (roles dir,
applications, users, DOMAIN_PRIMARY, SYSTEM_EMAIL_DOMAIN) still matches; a
mismatch falls back to the old render. The action masks its own result: the
payload is the whole tree with every credential, and CI runs with
MASK_CREDENTIALS_IN_LOGS false.
The task sits after the networks, design and service_provider merges, after
the add_host placements and after the token store. An independent review
showed that an earlier position bakes stale values into the play: the
web-app-wordpress title rendered to 'Blog by ' because service_provider did
not exist yet. User records inside the payload are the token store's state
at render time; readers of tokens captured later keep using lookup('users')
or lookup('config', app, 'users.…'), which read the users cache fresh.
Expected savings per job: about 130 min on a fork workspace run, 16 min on
an average compose deploy and 28 min on an average swarm deploy. The
constructor's own lookups before the carrier stay cold.

Consumer lookup plugins now reach the merged config through the Ansible
lookup loader instead of importing get_merged_applications /
get_merged_domains from utils.cache. The merge stays one cached
implementation surfaced via the applications/config/domains/users lookups;
consumers call lookup_loader.get(...).run() (the compose_networks idiom).
- get_merged_applications walks the whole meta/ tree recursively
(meta/**/*.yml to applications.<app>.<path>, addons and any depth) and
folds the raw meta/volumes.yml subtree onto applications.<app>.volumes
after the templar render so the Jinja source: strings stay unrendered.
- 31 consumer lookups rerouted; providers (applications/config/
applications_current_play/users/domains) and the raw-volume accessors
(volume/nginx) keep the cache import behind # nocheck: lookup-cache-import.
- New lint test_no_cache_imports_in_lookups enforces the contract.
- nfs_flavor is now the flavor SPOT (svc-storage-nfs-server + nfs_client_src
resolve via lookup('nfs_flavor')); removed the unused STORAGE_NFS_FLAVOR
group_var. Extracted extract_default_credentials to
utils/cache/schema_credentials.py to keep applications.py under the cap.

Adds ``[tool.ruff.lint]`` with ``select = ["E", "F", "I", "B", "UP"]``
and ``target-version = "py311"``. ``E501`` is ignored because
``ruff format`` already reflows what it can; the remaining long lines
are unsplittable string literals / URLs.
Auto-fixed (2753 issues, behavior-preserving):
- UP006/UP035: ``List[X]`` → ``list[X]``, ``Dict[X]`` → ``dict[X]``,
``from typing import …`` redirected where superseded by builtins.
- UP045: ``Optional[X]`` → ``X | None``.
- UP010/UP009/UP015: dropped Python-2-era pragmas (``from __future__
import absolute_import, division, print_function``,
``# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-``), redundant ``open(..., "r")`` mode.
- UP004: dropped implicit ``class X(object):``.
- UP022/UP008/UP032: stdlib idiom modernization (``capture_output``,
super-call simplification, etc.).
- B905: ``zip(...)`` → ``zip(..., strict=False)`` (preserves prior
behavior; switching to ``strict=True`` is a separate semantic
choice not made here).
- I001: import-block ordering.
Hand-fixed (66 issues):
- B904 × 54: appended ``from <bound>`` (when the enclosing ``except``
binds a name) or ``from None`` (when it doesn't) so chained
exceptions stay distinguishable from errors-during-exception-
handling. Applied via a small AST-aware script that walked back to
the enclosing ``except`` clause and matched the binding.
- B017 × 4: narrowed broad ``assertRaises(Exception)`` to the actual
``AnsibleError`` / ``AnsibleFilterError`` raised by the code under
test.
- B023 × 2: bound captured loop variables via default args
(``def _record(name, *, _path_real=path_real, ...)``) so each
closure gets its own snapshot.
- B007 × 2: unused loop control variables renamed to ``_`` /
rewritten to ``.values()``.
- UP007 × 2: ``Union[X, Y]`` → ``X | Y`` (plus dropping the now-unused
``from typing import Union``).
- B018 × 1: Odoo addon manifests are bare dict expressions at module
level by design — suppressed with an inline ``# noqa: B018`` and
rationale comment.
- UP031 × 1: printf-style format → f-string.
The 65 ``# noqa: …`` markers introduced by the auto-fixer all carry
real ruff codes (``B018``, ``E402``, ``F401``, etc.), so
``test_noqa_only_ruff_codes`` stays green.
Verification
============
- ``ruff check .`` → All checks passed
- ``ruff format --check .`` → 894 files already formatted
- ``tests.lint.repository.{test_project_root_import,
test_no_direct_yaml_calls, test_noqa_only_ruff_codes}`` and
``tests.unit.utils.annotations.test_suppress`` → 20 tests OK
- 1621 unit tests → all pass
- Integration suite: 44 failures (pre-existing baseline, none from
this change), 1 skipped.
Going forward, the new rules block regressions on E (style), F
(pyflakes), I (import order), B (likely-bug patterns), and UP
(modernization to py311) for any new code.

The 934-line `utils/cache/data.py` monolith mixed cross-cutting helpers
(constants, yaml-loaders, deep-merge, signatures, render machinery)
with three independent domain caches (applications, users, domains).
Per the KISS/SPOT/DRY guidelines, split it along domain boundaries so
each file has a single, well-scoped responsibility:
utils/cache/__init__.py — package; owns _reset_cache_for_tests()
orchestrator
utils/cache/base.py — cross-cutting helpers: constants,
yaml-loaders, _deep_merge, cache-key +
content-fingerprint signatures, the
cross-domain re-entry guard, and the
templar-render machinery (the only
ansible-coupled symbol, lazy-imports
its dependency)
utils/cache/applications.py — variants + defaults +
get_merged_applications. Strictly
ansible-free at import time so the
GitHub Actions runner-host CLI path
(cli.deploy.development.init →
plan_dev_inventory_matrix →
get_variants) keeps working without
ansible installed
utils/cache/users.py — user defs, token store hydration,
alias materialization,
get_user_defaults, get_merged_users
utils/cache/domains.py — get_merged_domains, derived from the
merged applications view
utils/cache/data.py — DELETED. Façade is gone; the package
exports nothing the domain modules
don't already
Backward-compat: the facade was deleted (per operator request) and all
36+ consumers — 18 plugins, 2 CLI entry points, 9 test files, 4 doc
files, plus a role-internal lookup_plugin — were rewired to import
directly from the owning domain module. `_reset_cache_for_tests` is
now exposed at `from utils.cache import _reset_cache_for_tests`.
Tests added (per-module, focused):
tests/unit/utils/cache/test_base.py (31 cases)
tests/unit/utils/cache/test_applications.py ( 9 cases)
tests/unit/utils/cache/test_users_module.py (21 cases; suffix
disambiguates from
the existing
tests/unit/plugins/
lookup/test_users.py)
tests/unit/utils/cache/test_domains.py ( 6 cases)
The ansible-block invariants from CI runs 24934007615 and 24935979190
are now pinned via subprocess isolation: each ansible-less import test
spawns a fresh `python3 -c '…'` with a meta_path filter denying every
`ansible*` import and asserts the import + invocation succeed in that
clean process. The earlier in-process sys.modules-manipulation shims
fragmented module identity and broke under Python 3.13 inside the
infinito container; subprocess isolation has neither problem.
Doc-style audit (per docs/contributing/documentation.md):
- Removed em-dash from utils/cache/README.md (split into two
sentences)
- Updated stale `utils.runtime_data` reference in
docs/contributing/design/matrix-deploy.md
- Removed two SPOT self-declarations
(docs/agents/files/group_vars/applications.md and
docs/contributing/artefact/files/plugins/lookup/users.md) per
the documentation rule that SPOT status is conferred by
cross-links, not by the page asserting it about itself
Empirical proof:
- All four domain modules import without ansible (subprocess
isolation tests)
- get_variants(roles_dir=ROLES_DIR) returns 99 apps in the
ansible-blocked subprocess
- 142 cache tests + 1085 wider-suite tests pass; the only
remaining failures (test_host_vars free-function fixture bug,
test_runtime_performance timing flake) are pre-existing and
unrelated to this refactor (verified via `git stash`).

Both in-process cache layers — the cached YAML loader and the cached
runtime-data getters — now live next to each other under
`utils/cache/`. The package gains a README that documents the
"orthogonal layers, no third cache" rule so future contributors hit
the right primitive on the first look.
Moves:
- `utils/yaml_cache.py` -> `utils/cache/yaml.py`
- `utils/runtime_data.py` -> `utils/cache/data.py`
- `tests/unit/utils/test_yaml_cache.py` -> `tests/unit/utils/cache/test_yaml.py`
- `tests/unit/utils/test_runtime_data.py` -> `tests/unit/utils/cache/test_data.py`
- `tests/unit/utils/test_variants.py` -> `tests/unit/utils/cache/test_variants.py`
New:
- `utils/cache/__init__.py` (empty per project convention)
- `utils/cache/README.md` describing the two layers, when to reach for
which, lifetime, test-only helpers, and design guidelines (RFC 2119
keywords, emoji-after-headline, no self-SPOT declaration, no
slash-in-link-text).
- `tests/unit/utils/cache/__init__.py`
Mechanical updates:
- All imports across cli/, plugins/lookup/, tests/, and roles/ rewritten
from `utils.yaml_cache` -> `utils.cache.yaml` and
`utils.runtime_data` -> `utils.cache.data` (40+ files).
- `REPO_ROOT` parents-index in the moved tests bumped from `parents[3]`
to `parents[4]` to reflect the deeper nesting.
- Six broken markdown links in docs/ updated to the new module paths
(test_markdown_links lint test stays green).
- Two test files that used the `from utils import runtime_data` form
now use `from utils.cache import data as runtime_data` so the local
alias remains.
Tests: 848 passed across unit + lint suites (1 pre-existing collection
error in test_host_vars.py unrelated to this change).
Shorten the module name now that it backs more than just lookup plugins
(validator CLI, tests, dashboard role). Updates all 26 import sites and
adds a unit test covering the pure helpers.

Replaces inline `applications`/`users` merging with dedicated lookup
plugins and runtime hydration. Introduces `add_csp_hash` filter,
integrates sort into `find_dock_val_by_bkp_entr`, splits the Keycloak
one-shot realm import into `05a_realm_import_run.yml`, and fixes the
Mastodon administrator task YAML. Removes obsolete `csp_hashes` filter,
`sys-token-store` Jinja filter, and empty CLI setup modules.
