categories.yml moves from roles/ to the repository-root meta/, joining packages.yml. utils/roles/categories.py owns its location plus the tree-walking helpers that were stranded in entity/name.py, so no caller spells the path or duplicates the lookup. meta/distros.yml becomes the SPOT for every distribution: os_family, Galaxy platform name, dev-environment base image, and the pkgmgr/pkgmgr-virgin/environment reference templates. It replaces seven scattered copies (DISTRO_FAMILY, VALID_DISTROS, _DISTROS, _CANONICAL_PLATFORMS, two shell arrays, a Makefile literal). INFINITO_DISTROS is no longer a static default but generated by utils/env/handlers/infinito/distros.py; the shell consumers read it through the env layer. Drops dead CLI surface found along the way: --categories-file and --roles-dir on the provision CLI plus three unused parameters of generate_dynamic_inventory, and the positional roles_file of the invokable categories command. tests/lint/repository/test_distros_spot.py pins the copies that cannot call the SPOT (workflow literals, docs table) and forbids composing a pkgmgr reference outside it.

Custom Filter Plugins for Infinito.Nexus
This directory contains custom Ansible filter plugins used within the Infinito.Nexus project.
When to Use a Filter Plugin
- Transform values: Use filters to transform, extract, reformat, or compute values from existing variables or facts.
- Inline data manipulation: Filters are designed for inline use in Jinja2 expressions (in templates, tasks, vars, etc.).
- No external lookups: Filters only operate on data you explicitly pass to them and cannot access external files, the Ansible inventory, or runtime context.
Examples
{{ role_name | get_entity_name }}
{{ my_list | unique }}
{{ user_email | regex_replace('^(.+)@.*$', '\\1') }}
When not to Use a Filter Plugin
- If you need to load data from an external source (e.g., file, environment, API), use a lookup plugin instead.
- If your logic requires access to inventory, facts, or host-level information that is not passed as a parameter.
