New lint guard
==============
tests/lint/repository/test_no_direct_yaml_calls.py AST-walks the
production tree (utils/, cli/, plugins/, filter_plugins/,
lookup_plugins/, roles/, scripts/, tasks/) and flags any direct
`yaml.safe_load` / `yaml.safe_dump` / `yaml.load` / `yaml.dump` /
`yaml.safe_load_all` / `yaml.dump_all` call. Aliased imports are
tracked: `import yaml as Y` ⇒ `Y.safe_load(...)` is flagged;
`from yaml import safe_load` ⇒ bare `safe_load(...)` is flagged.
Per-line opt-out: `# noqa: direct-yaml` on the call's physical line
(or any line spanned by a multi-line call). No central exemption
list — every legitimate exception lives next to its call with a
human-readable rationale in the surrounding comment.
Cache module additions
======================
* `dump_yaml_str(data)` — symmetric to `safe_dump(data)` with no file
path. Used for stdout output and filter return values where the
cache cannot help but the API needs to stay consistent.
* `load_yaml_str(text)` — symmetric to `safe_load(text)`. Used when
YAML comes from an HTTP body, a mutated buffer, or a mock-patched
source whose content does not correspond to a stable on-disk file.
Migrated production call sites (33 → 0 direct-yaml violations)
==============================================================
* utils/{entity_name_utils, valid_deploy_id, invokable, service_registry,
domains/list, applications/{config, in_group_deps},
docker/image/discovery, meta/{port_bands, scan},
roles/{dependency_resolver, meta_lookup, resource_validation}}
* cli/{build/{graph, inventory/full/command}, create/inventory/{host_vars,
mirror_overrides}, fix/vars_main_files, meta/{applications/in_group_deps,
callorder}, mirror/resolver, validate/inventory}
* plugins/{filter/{compose_volumes, get_all_application_ids, get_role,
invokable_paths, role_path_by_app_id}, lookup/applications_current_play}
* roles/{svc-db-postgres/filter_plugins/split_postgres_connections,
web-app-bigbluebutton/filter_plugins/compose_mods,
web-app-dashboard/lookup_plugins/docker_cards}
Behaviour adjustments
=====================
* utils/roles/dependency_resolver — `safe_load_all` (multi-doc) →
single-doc `load_yaml_any` wrapped in a list. Ansible task files are
single-doc by convention; the downstream multi-doc loop stays intact
for forward compatibility.
* roles/sys-svc-compose-ca/files/compose_ca.py — KEEPS direct
yaml.safe_load / yaml.safe_dump (annotated with noqa). The script is
copied to the target host via `ansible.builtin.copy` and the target
has no `utils/` package on PYTHONPATH.
noqa-annotated direct-yaml call sites (with rationale)
======================================================
* utils/cache/yaml.py — IS the cache; would recurse.
* utils/handler/yaml.py — vault-aware Loader subclass that wraps
\!vault scalars in VaultScalar; cache-by-path collapses the wrapping.
* cli/encrypt/inventory/__main__.py — vault-aware Dumper subclass that
emits \!vault literal blocks; the cached dump_yaml writes plain YAML
which is the wrong output here.
* roles/sys-svc-compose-ca/files/compose_ca.py — runtime-deployed.
* tasks/utils/migrate_meta_layout.py — once-off migration script.
Validation
==========
* Unit tests: 1573 passed.
* Lint: 56 passed (incl. new test_no_direct_yaml_calls).

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.

Add repo root to sys.path before importing utils.runtime_lookup_data
so the script works when invoked as a subprocess (e.g. from
tests/unit/cli/validate/test_inventory.py) without PYTHONPATH set.

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.

Replace `from .__main__ import *` with controlled re-exports based on `__all__`
to avoid namespace pollution and improve static analysis.
Public APIs remain unchanged while making re-export behavior explicit and
lint-friendly across all CLI subpackages.

Move all module-level imports to the top of affected files and remove
late imports after sys.path manipulation or runtime code.
Also normalize test imports to use package paths instead of ad-hoc
sys.path hacks, aligning tests with the new layered architecture.
No functional changes intended.

- Fix E402 by removing sys.path hacks and ensuring imports are at module top level
- Replace ad-hoc imports with proper package imports (filter_plugins, lookup_plugins, module_utils, cli)
- Make lookup plugins importable via package paths (e.g. lookup_plugins.application_gid)
- Clean up test imports to rely on installed package layout instead of sys.path manipulation
- Partially fix F821 caused by missing/invalid imports
This establishes a consistent, ruff-compliant import architecture across CLI, filters, plugins, and tests.
