Consumer lookup plugins now reach the merged config through the Ansible
lookup loader instead of importing get_merged_applications /
get_merged_domains from utils.cache. The merge stays one cached
implementation surfaced via the applications/config/domains/users lookups;
consumers call lookup_loader.get(...).run() (the compose_networks idiom).
- get_merged_applications walks the whole meta/ tree recursively
(meta/**/*.yml to applications.<app>.<path>, addons and any depth) and
folds the raw meta/volumes.yml subtree onto applications.<app>.volumes
after the templar render so the Jinja source: strings stay unrendered.
- 31 consumer lookups rerouted; providers (applications/config/
applications_current_play/users/domains) and the raw-volume accessors
(volume/nginx) keep the cache import behind # nocheck: lookup-cache-import.
- New lint test_no_cache_imports_in_lookups enforces the contract.
- nfs_flavor is now the flavor SPOT (svc-storage-nfs-server + nfs_client_src
resolve via lookup('nfs_flavor')); removed the unused STORAGE_NFS_FLAVOR
group_var. Extracted extract_default_credentials to
utils/cache/schema_credentials.py to keep applications.py under the cap.

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/*).
