Thread a single `variant` selector (CSV) end-to-end so CI can split a
role's matrix deploy across runners.
- variant_select.py (SPOT, shared by init + deploy): one --variant taking
a CSV (2 pins one round, 0,1,2 is a runner bundle, empty = full matrix);
replaces the old separate --variant/--variants.
- planner.filter_plan_to_variants filters the plan to a round subset.
- CI discovery (utils/github/variant_bundles.py) splits roles with more
than INFINITO_VARIANT_BUNDLE_SIZE (default 3) variants into bundles of
consecutive indices, one matrix runner each (5 -> 0,1,2 + 3,4), threaded
via the variant env. test-deploy-{local,universal,workstation,server}.yml
switch to matrix.include with a comma-free variant_slug for artifact/job
names (GitHub expressions have no replace()).
- runtime_budget honours INFINITO_VARIANT_TIME_OVERFLOW (cut|fail) when a
runner cannot finish its slice within INFINITO_MAX_RUNTIME.
Unit tests + docs (variants.md, deploy.md) included.

Workflow Input Resolution 🔎
Shell helpers that derive structured inputs and outputs for GitHub Actions jobs from repository state.
Scope 📋
This directory contains pure resolvers that read repository state (git history, role metadata, version tags, input environment variables) and emit resolved values either via $GITHUB_OUTPUT or stdout. Resolvers MUST be idempotent and MUST NOT mutate repository or registry state beyond writing to $GITHUB_OUTPUT. The covered concerns are distro selection for push CI, diff-driven app whitelist resolution, release-tag parsing, app discovery for the deploy matrix, and change detection that gates the update pipeline.
For the workflow catalog that consumes these outputs see workflows.md. For the diff-driven whitelist contract see the "Diff-driven app selection" section in pipeline.md.
