categories.yml moves from roles/ to the repository-root meta/, joining packages.yml. utils/roles/categories.py owns its location plus the tree-walking helpers that were stranded in entity/name.py, so no caller spells the path or duplicates the lookup.
meta/distros.yml becomes the SPOT for every distribution: os_family, Galaxy platform name, dev-environment base image, and the pkgmgr/pkgmgr-virgin/environment reference templates. It replaces seven scattered copies (DISTRO_FAMILY, VALID_DISTROS, _DISTROS, _CANONICAL_PLATFORMS, two shell arrays, a Makefile literal). INFINITO_DISTROS is no longer a static default but generated by utils/env/handlers/infinito/distros.py; the shell consumers read it through the env layer.
Drops dead CLI surface found along the way: --categories-file and --roles-dir on the provision CLI plus three unused parameters of generate_dynamic_inventory, and the positional roles_file of the invokable categories command.
tests/lint/repository/test_distros_spot.py pins the copies that cannot call the SPOT (workflow literals, docs table) and forbids composing a pkgmgr reference outside it.

Module moves (with imports, paths, argv literals, scripts, docs, and
parents[N] formulas updated in lockstep):
- cli/deploy -> cli/administration/deploy
- cli/validate/inventory -> cli/administration/inventory/validate
- cli/vault -> cli/administration/secrets/vault
- cli/administration/inventory/encrypt -> cli/administration/secrets/seal
- cli/mirror -> cli/contributing/mirror
The new cli/administration/secrets cluster collocates the whole-file
ansible-vault wrapper next to the inventory-aware per-field sealer.
The user-facing CLI subcommand paths follow the package layout, e.g.
"infinito administration deploy dedicated <inv>" and
"infinito administration inventory validate <inv>".
Help system redesign in cli/core/{discovery,help,app}.py:
- Discovery now distinguishes runnable commands (directories with
__main__.py) from category folders (directories that only group
further commands). Empty support packages are filtered out.
- Each category folder MAY carry a README.md; its H1 heading is used
as the title and its first paragraph as the one-line description in
the help output.
- "infinito" / "infinito --help" prints only the top-level entries
(one level deep). "infinito <category>" navigates into a folder and
shows its sub-folders and commands one level deep, with the README
title as the page heading and the invocation as a dim subtitle.
- New "--tree [N]" flag walks the tree under the (optional) path
prefix recursively. N caps the depth (1-based); omit N for an
unbounded walk. The output uses Unicode tree connectors, an emoji
per entry (folder for categories, gear for commands), a globally
aligned description column, and multi-line wrapped descriptions
with tree-continuity bars on continuation lines.
- Category and command listings use the full invocation
("infinito meta callorder") rather than the bare leaf name, so the
output is copy-pasteable.
Convention doc + 17 CLI READMEs:
- New docs/contributing/artefact/files/cli/readme_md.md describes the
H1+paragraph layout the help system reads, and how it differs from
role/docs READMEs.
- README.md added for cli/{administration, build, contributing, meta}
and their immediate sub-folders, plus cli/meta/roles/applications
and its resolution sub-folder. Each follows the "title with trailing
emoji + single descriptive paragraph" convention.
Mirror resolver/sync description strings (the help system reads them
from argparse --help output) added so they no longer surface as
"options:" in the global index. cli/mirror/cleanup already had a
description and is unchanged.
Fixes uncovered by the move:
- import unittest.mock added to four dedicated-deploy tests so
unittest.mock.patch resolves under stdlib unittest discovery
(Python 3.13 no longer surfaces unittest.mock through "import
unittest" alone).
- parents[N] index in the new
cli/administration/inventory/validate/__init__.py corrected from
3 to 4 to match the deeper layout.
- test_paths.INVENTORY_VALIDATOR_PATH assertion and test_runner
substring assertions updated to match the new validator path.

Hard-coded self-path references rot the moment the file moves: a header
comment ``# utils/foo/bar.py`` at the top of a module, a docstring
mentioning ``utils/foo/bar.py``, or a docs entry linking
``utils/foo/bar.py`` from inside ``utils/foo/bar.py`` itself all silently
desync from reality after the next ``git mv``.
The new lint walks every project file, computes its POSIX-style relative
path from PROJECT_ROOT, and reports any line whose text contains that
path as a substring. Files at the repo root (no ``/`` in their relative
path) and setuptools-generated ``*.egg-info/`` artefacts are exempt.
Per-line opt-out via ``# nocheck: self-path-reference`` on the offending
line, registered in the suppression catalog.
Existing offenders cleaned up:
- 72 redundant ``# <self-path>`` header lines removed across roles,
cli, plugins, scripts, tests, and utils.
- 4 prometheus templates that told consumers to "update
<self-template-path>" rewritten to drop the redundant self-reference.
- 8 docstring/comment self-references in cli, plugins, tests, utils,
and the dashboard oidc.js.j2 header rewritten to describe the layout
without naming the file's own path.
- 17 legitimate usage examples (shell scripts, test data lists, one
template self-include doc-block) marked with ``nocheck:
self-path-reference``.
- ``container.sh`` heredoc usage strings switched to ``${0}`` so the
marker stays out of the user-visible help output.
- ``healthcheck/http.yml.j2`` doc-block rewritten to prose because
``{# ... #}`` Jinja comments cannot host an inner ``{# nocheck #}``
(the inner ``#}`` closes the outer comment).

Eliminates the last 102 violations of test_project_root_import by
making PROJECT_ROOT in each package's __init__.py the single source
and inlining every wrapper helper.
Migrations
==========
- ~70 files: ``Path(__file__).resolve().parents[N]`` → ``from <pkg>
import PROJECT_ROOT`` (single-expression shape, scripted).
- ~12 files: two-statement helpers (``T = Path(__file__).resolve();
R = T.parents[N]``) and multi-line ``os.path.abspath(os.path.join(...
os.pardir...))`` chains rewritten by a follow-up scripted pass.
- ~20 files migrated by hand for shapes the scripts couldn't safely
rewrite (helper functions like ``_repo_root_from_test_file``,
embedded ``os.pardir`` chains, etc.).
Helpers removed (inlined to PROJECT_ROOT)
=========================================
- All ``def repo_root_from_here() / _project_root_from_here()`` and
same-shape variants in cli/ (``cli/deploy/development/{down,common,
build,deploy}.py``, ``cli/meta/categories/invokable/command.py``,
``cli/meta/applications/resolution/{combined/repo_paths,
dependencies/__main__,run_after/__main__}.py``).
- All zero-arg ``def <name>() -> Path: return PROJECT_ROOT`` helpers
(utils/invokable.py, utils/roles/resource_validation.py, cli/meta/
runtime/__init__.py, cli/meta/callorder/__main__.py, plus a dozen
test files).
- 4 ``PROJECT_ROOT = PROJECT_ROOT`` self-assignments removed from
test files where the class attribute became dead after migration.
Test-mock updates
=================
``patch.object(repo_paths, 'repo_root_from_here', return_value=ROOT)``
→ ``patch.object(repo_paths, 'PROJECT_ROOT', ROOT)`` (27 patches across
8 unit-test files); same shape for ``patch('utils.invokable._repo_root',
return_value=…)``.
Suppressions documented
=======================
5 files marked ``# nocheck: project-root-import`` for the catalog's
documented exemptions:
- 2 lints walking from a discovered glob match (<role>/templates/...)
up to its role dir, NOT the repo root.
- ``cli/validate/inventory/__main__.py`` invoked as standalone
subprocess (relative imports unavailable).
- ``plugins/filter/value_generator.py`` loaded by Ansible outside the
project package (relative imports broken).
- ``roles/test-e2e-playwright/filter_plugins/discover_playwright_roles.py``.
Bugs surfaced and fixed in the same commit
==========================================
The migration uncovered two latent role-content violations that were
silently masked by buggy ``_repo_root()`` helpers in two integration
tests (the helpers walked upward looking for marker dirs and returned
``tests/integration/`` instead of the repo root, so the tests scanned
nothing under ``roles/`` for years):
- roles/web-app-minio: extracted 6-task OIDC block into 02_oidc.yml +
``include_tasks`` (the documented "Good" pattern from
test_block_size; parsing cost is paid only when OIDC is enabled).
- roles/web-app-bluesky/tasks/01_core.yml: collapsed 3 sequential
``when: BLUESKY_WEB_ENABLED | bool`` tasks into one ``block:`` with
the guard at block level (4 → 2 occurrences, under threshold).
Two semantic-bug fixes carried alongside
========================================
- cli/core/app.py: ``cli_dir`` was previously ``parents[1]`` (= cli/),
not the repo root; rewritten to ``PROJECT_ROOT / "cli"`` to match
the variable's intent.
- cli/make/__main__.py: pre-existing bug — ``repo_root`` was actually
the ``cli/`` directory (so ``cli/Makefile`` was the search target,
which never existed). Now correctly uses PROJECT_ROOT.
- scripts/lint/sort_claude_settings.sh: invokes utils/claude/
settings_sort.py as a module (``python -m``) so its
``from . import PROJECT_ROOT`` resolves.
Verification
============
- ``ruff check .`` → clean
- ``tests.lint.repository.test_project_root_import`` → OK (102 → 0)
- 1621 unit tests → all pass
- Integration suite: 44 failures (baseline, pre-existing, none from
this commit), 1 skipped

- Import get_invokable_paths and get_non_invokable_paths at module level
so unittest.mock.patch can replace them
- Forward roles_file and suffix unchanged to preserve CLI boundary
- Remove implicit default resolution from CLI
- Keep error handling and output behavior unchanged

Stop importing __main__ from package __init__.py to prevent runpy RuntimeWarning when using `python -m`.
- Move CLI logic into command.py modules
- Keep __main__.py as thin wrappers
- Update unit tests to import command modules directly
https://chatgpt.com/share/6947fb8e-550c-800f-8323-e36f92cb5bba
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.
