kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5 636701ac26 feat(ci): serialise a big deploy line's modes
GitHub cancels a job queued for 24h. A line starting swarm, compose and
host at once queues its whole matrix in one go, so with more roles than
runner slots the tail waits past that cut and dies unrun -- 54 of 241
jobs in run 30937913632.

Deploy the modes one after the other instead, heaviest first, which
restarts the queue clock per mode. cli.meta.ci.sequencing counts a
line's matrix jobs on the row basis the discover steps use and
serialises above INFINITO_CI_SEQUENTIAL_THRESHOLD; below it the modes
still start together, so a small diff pays no wall-clock for this.

A needs: edge is static, so both layouts exist as jobs and the decision
skips one. Their conditions are structurally asserted, not evaluated:
ten near-identical if expressions invite a copied sentinel or a missing
chain edge, and both failures are silent at runtime.

mode_fail_fast stops a serial line at its first failed mode, on by
default.

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/*).
