kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5 d4ae5cf9f0 fix(lint): put the cache-read markers where the rule reads them
suppressed_line_numbers matches the marker on the flagged line itself, and
ruff had split two of the calls so the comment landed behind the closing
paren, one line too low. The reads that can be cached now go through
utils.cache.files, which the bare interpreter imports fine; the two that
cannot keep a marker on a line short enough to stay whole.

The parser also gains the two guards utils/install/lint/pinned.py already
carries for the same bootstrap problem: its reading is cross-checked
against PyYAML on both requirements files, and a subprocess with yaml
made unimportable proves the module still works without it. That turns
the manual venv check into a standing test.

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/*).
