Four module-level constants were defined and never read: _OPERATORS in the complexity filter, superseded by the op group of _TOKEN_RE two lines below; _VALID_SWARM_CONDITIONS, which swarm_restart_condition never checks because it maps to one of three literals by construction; _MISSING in services/config.py, where resolution already goes through get(strict=False, default={}); and _DEFAULT_FLAG_VALUES_THAT_ARE_NOT_NAMES in the exec-resolver lint, referenced by no rule in it. The nfs_fstype lookup rebound its variables parameter and returned without reading it.
Every name was private to its module and a repo-wide search over every file type finds no reader. CodeQL flagged them as unused; ruff cannot, because pyflakes has no rule for module globals and treats a rebound parameter as used.

The container_address lookup does not return a container name in swarm. It
returns a shell fragment, "$(/usr/bin/resolve-container-id <stack> <service>)",
which is only a name once an interpreter evaluates the substitution. The shell
module provides one. The command module does not -- it execs the binary directly,
so the fragment arrives at container exec as literal text and the call dies with
"No such container: $(...)".
Compose hides the entire class: there the same lookup yields a bare name and
command: works. The failure exists only in swarm, and no swarm run had touched
these paths -- both were added by feature commits (b23653adf8, 0421ebeb16) that
wrote the same argv shape independently, which is the argument for a rule rather
than six edits.
Six call sites moved to the shell module: the moodle egress task, the three
moodle AI-gateway tasks, and the two wordpress AI-Engine tasks. The wordpress
pair keeps its stdin, so it uses the dict form with cmd:. Moving off argv exposes
the surrounding values to word splitting, so they now go through quote -- the
address itself must NOT, because single quotes would suppress exactly the
substitution this depends on.
test_argv_exec_needs_shell.py closes the gap that let this through.
container-exec-resolver checks that the resolver is used; it has nothing to say
about whether anything can evaluate the result. The new rule checks that other
half. It reuses the sibling's argv parser, which recognises only container/docker
in first position, so an argv list that does start an interpreter
(argv: [bash, -lc, ...], as joomla does) is correctly not matched.
Run against the tree the rule reported exactly the five sites found by hand plus
bigbluebutton, and passed over joomla and the discourse task, whose address is a
config lookup rather than the resolver. Bigbluebutton is pinned to compose via
compose_mode_force and can only ever see a bare name, so it takes a nocheck.
Five container-exec-resolver markers disappear with the argv form: under shell
the resolver is the ordinary path, not an exception.

Every MCP role keeps its task tree under tasks/utils/ without numeric
prefixes, so a caller can reach any of them through include_role
tasks_from. utils/roles/mapping.py holds that path as the single source.
Ansible resolves a relative include against the including file's own
directory when that file was reached by path, but against tasks/ when it
was reached through tasks_from. The same file therefore loaded from its
own role and failed from a caller using tasks_from. Every nested include
now names {{ role_path }}/tasks/utils/..., which holds under both bases,
and a lint walks each tasks_from entrypoint transitively to keep it so.
The exec-gating lint learns the same form, otherwise it loses the include
chain and reports inherited IS_STACK_HOST gates as missing.
The expression resolving a provider's stored token appeared eighteen
times. plugins/lookup/mcp_credential.py replaces it, and mcp_probe_owner
disappears from eight roles: it was only ever a step towards the bearer
and no probe read it.
The Hermes and OpenClaw probes stop aborting the play while it is still
running. Roles deploy in dependency order, so a client probing during its
own role can run before a provider exists at all, and failing there
prevents that provider from ever deploying. The verdict moves to the
reconciliation pass, gated on MCP_RECONCILE_STRICT, which the reconciler
sets and group_vars declares so the readers need no default.
The sys-svc-mcp-reconcile role is added here; wiring it into a stage is a
separate change.

An untyped inspect searches every docker object kind, and a role's overlay network carries the same entity name as its main container, so the call can resolve the network and report a missing State key instead of naming the container. That is how the openresty assert died on every swarm job of run 30709070050.
Extend container-exec-resolver to cover inspect, stripping raw markers and quoted spans first so the flag walker survives Go template format strings. Add container-inspect-type, scoped to roles/ because the collision follows the entity naming convention and the outer act namespace carries no role networks. Sweep 40 call sites; suppress the delegate_to-resolved CIDs and the compose co-location probes with a stated reason.
Move the five container rules into tests/lint/ansible/shell/container/ and drop the container_ prefix from their filenames. Register both markers in the suppression docs, where the resolver marker was missing entirely.
