The repo's async convention is fire and forget: ASYNC_POLL is 0 whenever
ASYNC_ENABLED is true, and the swarm test lane forces it true through
extra vars. A task dispatched that way returns a stub, so a changed_when
or failed_when reading its own register evaluates against nothing and can
never report changed and never fail. Several tasks carried a
"not ASYNC_ENABLED and" prefix in front of those conditions, added to
avoid touching undefined rc and stdout, which turned the guard off
entirely rather than adapting it.
That is how the nextcloud plugin configuration stayed broken unseen: the
batch reported ok after 0.8s while its delegated commands kept running,
the next task read the half written configuration, and no failure in any
of them could surface.
Every async in the repo was decided individually rather than swept. Where
nothing consumes the result, the async stays and a one line rationale now
records what does not read it. Where a later task, a handler or a browser
does consume it, either the async goes or the result is collected.
Collecting is what the new reaper does. It waits for a whole batch, then
reports every broken job at once instead of aborting on the first, so one
run shows whether a single item or the whole set is broken. Deciding what
counts as broken lives in a filter plugin, because the distinction is
subtle enough to deserve tests: a module reports failure in msg, a command
in rc and stdout, an idempotent API answers "already exists" and means
success, and a job that cannot be read at all comes back marked finished
with no outcome, which would otherwise read as green.
Timing cost is roughly one to two minutes on a deploy measured in hours.

Add tests/lint/repository/test_name_emoji_and_length.py: every Ansible task
name and GitHub Actions workflow/job/step name must start with an emoji (first
char not 0-9/A-Za-z) and be <= 80 chars.
- emit emoji names at the source: cli/build/include generator now writes
"🔧 setup <app>" / "🚿 flush handlers after <app>" so generated
tasks/groups/*-roles.yml satisfy the convention too
- convert existing task/step/job/workflow names to emoji-prefixed, choosing a
task-fitting icon per action (📦 install, ✅ ensure, 🔍 probe, 🥾 bootstrap,
🚀 deploy, 🧩 service-module load, ⬇️ checkout, 📂 include-routines, ...)

* scripts/lint/autoformat.sh: rename AUTOFORMAT_PARALLEL to PARALLEL,
declare it at file start with default `true`; still env-overridable.
Reword the worker comment so the literal `# shellcheck` token no
longer appears at start-of-line and trips SC1072/SC1073.
* scripts/lint/galaxy.sh: drop the GALAXY_FATAL / GALAXY_NAMESPACE /
GALAXY_PARALLEL env vars (over-engineered for a single repo). Failure
is always fatal. NAMESPACE is an internal constant. Add the same
PARALLEL env var (default `true`, env-overridable); falsy demotes the
xargs fan-out to one worker.
* docs/contributing/environment/variables.md: collapse the four
AUTOFORMAT_*/GALAXY_* rows into one `PARALLEL` row covering both
consumers.
* docs/contributing/tools/make.md: refer to `PARALLEL=0` everywhere;
add the lint-galaxy parallelism note.
Plus working-tree drift across roles/, group_vars/, inventories/, and
tasks/ that accumulated from the make-test setup phase regenerating
generated artefacts during recent test runs.

Introduce a single grammar for per-line, per-block, and per-file
suppression markers across the test suite, replacing seven ad-hoc
syntaxes that had drifted apart.
Helper
utils/annotations/suppress.py exposes is_suppressed_at,
is_suppressed_in_head, is_suppressed_anywhere, line_has_rule, and
suppressed_line_numbers. Markers may use either `noqa` or `nocheck`
(case-insensitive synonyms), live inside `#`, `//`, `{# ... #}`, or
`<\!-- ... -->` comments, and combine multiple kebab-case rules
comma-separated. 17 unit tests cover the grammar in isolation.
Refactored consumers
- tests/external/repository/test_urls_reachable.py (rule: url)
- tests/external/docker/test_image_versions.py via
utils/docker/version_updater.py (rule: docker-version)
- tests/lint/repository/test_no_direct_yaml_calls.py (rule:
direct-yaml)
- tests/lint/ansible/test_service_shared_consistency.py (rule:
shared)
- tests/lint/ansible/roles/test_web_app_email_integration.py (rule:
email)
- tests/lint/repository/test_python_file_size.py (rule: file-size)
- tests/lint/ansible/test_run_once_tags.py +
tests/integration/roles/run_once/test_schema.py (rules: run-once,
run-once-suffix)
Marker migration
12 role tasks/main.yml files: `# run_once_<key>: deactivated`
-> `# nocheck: run-once`. roles/web-app-suitecrm/meta/services.yml
drops a malformed inline `noqa: intentional legacy pin` from a TODO
comment so the new parser does not pick it up as a stray rule.
Caching wins
Test files that previously loaded YAML / read files via raw
yaml.safe_load + Path.read_text now route through utils.cache.yaml
(load_yaml_any / load_yaml_str) and utils.cache.files.read_text:
- test_service_shared_consistency.py
- test_web_app_email_integration.py
- tests/integration/roles/run_once/test_schema.py
- utils/docker/version_updater.py
This both speeds up repeated reads and stays consistent with the
direct-yaml lint policy.
Documentation
New SPOT page at docs/contributing/actions/testing/suppression.md
with grammar, position semantics, the catalog of rules, examples,
and an "adding a new rule" checklist. lint.md and external.md drop
their per-rule tables and link to the new page. All touched docs
conform to docs/contributing/documentation.md (no em-dash thought
breaks, no SPOT self-labels, RFC-2119 keywords used consistently).
Settings sort tooling
scripts/lint/sort_claude_settings.sh wraps utils/claude/settings_sort.py
and is wired into scripts/lint/autoformat.sh. The tooling fixes the
ASCII-ascending requirement enforced by
tests/lint/repository/test_claude_settings_sorted.py; the test's
failure message now points operators at the script. .claude/settings.json
is committed in sorted form.
- Replace timer masking with stop+disable to keep unit files intact
- Deploy timer units in disabled state to prevent execution during deploy
- Avoid systemd mask conflicts with units in /etc/systemd/system
- Timers are re-enabled later during unlock phase

This change removes --network=host usage, introduces DOCKER_IN_CONTAINER
for reliable environment detection, and replaces hardcoded localhost
bindings with an explicit DOCKER_BIND_HOST abstraction to avoid nftables
issues in CI/DiD environments.
