The CI distros runner now only passes arguments supported by
cli.deploy.development run. This avoids argparse errors caused by
forwarding build-only flags that the orchestrator does not accept.
https://chatgpt.com/share/697030c4-f60c-800f-94b6-9128f87da57e
- Build matrix now includes variants: full + slim
- Tag slim images with -slim suffix and use Dockerfile target selection
- Use dedicated gha cache scopes per distro+variant
- Update release checks/retag/promote scripts to handle slim images too

- add scripts/inventory/resolve.sh to compute INVENTORY_DIR based on runtime context (act/github/local)
- resolve INVENTORY_DIR dynamically in Makefile via resolve.sh
- enforce INVENTORY_DIR usage across all local deploy/test scripts
- propagate INVENTORY_DIR into container and development CLI commands
- remove hardcoded /etc/inventories paths
https://chatgpt.com/share/69700d69-b270-800f-ad50-d9ff486378b9
Add two local test helpers to run full-stack deployments for all discovered apps:
- make test-local-inventory-init-all: bring up dev stack and create inventory
(/etc/inventories/local-full-<type>/servers.yml) including all apps
- make test-local-run-all: run deploy using the pre-initialized inventory
Also mark various scripts as executable (chmod +x) to ensure consistent
behavior across environments.
https://chatgpt.com/share/6970018e-1244-800f-9345-ca1596061729
- Make TEST_DEPLOY_TYPE strictly required in build-test-matrix
- Enforce required env vars in all act/ci/local deploy scripts
- Add deploy type validation everywhere
- Restore and export PYTHONPATH in Makefile
- Remove unused test directory variables
https://chatgpt.com/share/69700042-3fcc-800f-8bf9-b429d5bb7e82
- Move test-act target logic into scripts/tests/deploy/act/all.sh
- Move test-act-app target logic into scripts/tests/deploy/act/app.sh
- Keep Makefile targets as thin delegators
- Preserve existing flags and behavior
This keeps the Makefile minimal and makes act workflows reusable.
https://chatgpt.com/share/696ff4de-3abc-800f-a206-2f3dd5dec170
- Move test-local-cleanup logic into scripts/tests/deploy/local/cleanup.sh
- Move test-local-rapid logic into scripts/tests/deploy/local/rapid.sh

- Keep behavior and flags fully backward compatible
This improves maintainability, reuse in CI, and keeps the Makefile thin.
- execute tests inside running infinito container (no CLI wrapper)
- require INFINITO_DISTRO explicitly and show it in banner
- keep Nix accept-flake-config behavior inside container
- pass TEST_PATTERN/TEST_TYPE as container env and set workdir
- fall back to python3 if PYTHON is unset

- Replace static argparse-based CLI in cli.deploy.development with dynamic
module dispatcher compatible with nested command discovery.
- Ensure cli.deploy.development is executable via python -m and root dispatcher.
- Fix unit test path resolution to work locally and in CI.
- Make docker-* Makefile targets depend on install.
- Simplify test runner script and keep Nix flake config compatibility.
This aligns the CLI architecture with integration test discovery
(cli/**/__main__.py) and removes the need for manual subcommand registration.
https://chatgpt.com/share/696fdbbc-b6d8-800f-a8b5-067aa7e38706
- Introduce cli.deploy.development build subcommand as single build SPOT

- Ensure tests use up --when-down to avoid stack interference
- Make test targets depend on build-missing
https://chatgpt.com/share/696fd3c9-99f0-800f-a0ab-33a91058419a
- Add host-level AAAA DNS sanity test against CoreDNS
- Fail hard on SERVFAIL (breaks Node/getaddrinfo with EAI_AGAIN)
- Allow empty AAAA responses (IPv4-only setup is valid)
- Keep A-record validation unchanged
This prevents silent IPv6 resolver regressions that break CSP checks.

sys-svc-docker role as a post-restart validation handler.
This change moves the inner-container DNS validation out of the CI test
suite and into the Docker service lifecycle itself, ensuring that DNS is
verified exactly where it matters: inside the Docker-in-Docker daemon.
Key changes:
- Add roles/sys-svc-docker/files/test-dns.sh:
- Runs inside the DinD container
- Waits for dockerd readiness
- Executes a BusyBox test container with explicit --dns
- Verifies DOMAIN and subdomain resolve to the expected IP
- Fails hard if DNS is broken
- Register DNS self-test as a docker restart handler:
- Runs once per deployment
- Only executed when DOCKER_IN_CONTAINER and MODE_DEBUG are enabled
- Uses ansible.builtin.script with role_path for correct resolution
- Remove inner Docker DNS test from scripts/tests/dns.sh:
- CI test suite now only validates host → CoreDNS → outer container chain
- DinD DNS validation is now part of the Docker service health lifecycle
This ensures that:
- DNS is validated after every Docker restart
- DinD networking failures are detected immediately
- CI and production share the same DNS validation logic
- Docker-in-Docker DNS becomes a first-class health invariant
https://chatgpt.com/share/696a3dda-5c6c-800f-8a16-47c0c604e1e3
- Quote dig server argument to avoid word splitting (SC2086)
- Replace &&/|| pseudo-if with proper if/else blocks (SC2015)
- Validate INFINITO_CONTAINER early via required env guard
- Keep DNS test logic unchanged, only harden correctness and linting
This makes scripts/tests/dns.sh fully shellcheck -x compliant and more robust.
https://chatgpt.com/share/696a4053-93f8-800f-959b-f99e2d7d12e2
- Introduce env.ci as single source of truth for CI networking
- Make docker-compose, CoreDNS and Docker daemon fully env-driven
- Render CoreDNS Corefile from template via envsubst
- Replace hardcoded IPs/domains with environment variables
- Integrate env-based networking into Ansible defaults
- Remove static Corefile and daemon.json
This makes DNS and networking deterministic and reproducible across
host, CoreDNS, infinito runner and Docker-in-Docker.

- Add reusable _deploy-matrix workflow with discovery + per-app deploy across distros
- Enforce serial execution via strategy.max-parallel=1 and act --concurrent-jobs 1
- Support filters: mode (server|workstation|rest), only_app, only_distro, include/exclude regex
- Refactor test runner: remove discovery, require --app, deploy single app with deps only
- Generalize discover script to discover-apps.sh with INCLUDE_RE/EXCLUDE_RE + lifecycle gating
- Update Makefile targets to drive workflow_dispatch inputs for local act runs
https://chatgpt.com/share/69659ff3-1414-800f-8652-5298fcf55398
Move lifecycle filtering into discover-server-apps.sh so only
lifecycle-eligible web-app-* and web-svc-* roles are discovered.
This prevents invalid per-app deploy tests where applications are
excluded later during inventory generation, causing "not present in
inventory" errors.
- Filter invokable roles by server prefixes
- Apply lifecycle_filter blacklist using TESTED_LIFECYCLES
- Always emit valid JSON for CI matrix generation
