kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 4.8 238bc285c7 refactor(lookups): reach merged config via the lookup-loader SPOT
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/*).
