kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5 add00234c9 feat(ci): name deploy jobs after the role, not its id
CI deploy jobs were titled with the raw role id, so a run page read as a
column of dash-joined prefixes. They now carry a display name: the category
path as hanzi labels, then the role's README heading or the part of the id
the categories do not already say, whichever is shorter.

utils/roles/display.py owns both directions. Encoding happens once, at
discovery time, as a `label` key on every matrix entry; the workflows render
`<glyph> ${{ matrix.label }}` and keep the glyph as a literal because the
retrigger reads the deploy mode off it.

Decoding is what makes the retrigger keep working. It accepts a display name
with or without its variant shard and a bare role id unchanged, so job names
from runs that predate this still parse and a hand-typed dispatch never has
to spell hanzi. The parser therefore stopped matching an id-shaped tail and
asks the codec instead; a job the codec does not recognise is skipped rather
than counted as a role.

The role selections go out as display names too, so the run title reads like
the jobs it spawns. Four consumers decode them back, each the single place
the value is actually used: the whitelist resolver before it checks the role
directory, the discovery query on its env, and the sequencing and plan CLIs
on their arguments.

Every fragment is joined by `·`, including before the title, and the heading
loses its whitespace and any emoji variation selector. A display name holding
a space would make the space-separated whitelist and priority inputs
unparseable with more than one role.

Shared Utilities (utils/)

This directory contains shared Python helpers used by custom modules and plugins.

Purpose

Use utils/ for reusable code that should not be duplicated across:

  • library/ modules,
  • plugins/action/,
  • plugins/filter/,
  • plugins/lookup/.

Typical shared utilities:

  • API clients,
  • validation/conversion helpers,
  • path and configuration helpers,
  • cross-plugin/module domain logic.
  • Shared HTTP(S) connection handler for multiple modules.
  • Common validation or transformation functions for user input.
  • Utility functions for interacting with Docker, LDAP, etc.
  • Grouped helper packages such as utils/domains/ for related domain logic.

Design Guidelines

  • Keep helpers focused and composable.
  • Avoid side effects during import.
  • Prefer explicit function/class APIs over implicit globals.
  • Keep dependencies minimal so modules/plugins stay lightweight.

Example Import

from utils.domains.primary_domain import get_primary_domain

What Does Not Belong Here

  • Standalone executable modules (put in library/).
  • Ansible plugin entrypoints (put in plugins/*).
