- Declare `__all__` in every package `__init__.py` whose `PROJECT_ROOT` is imported by its modules (163 packages), so the constant counts as exported; list every public name where the package defines more. - Empty the 15 package `__init__.py` files whose `PROJECT_ROOT` no module imports. - Declare the public API of `utils.github.variant.axes` in `__all__`, re-exports included, instead of silencing them with `noqa: F401`; the list matches the one `feature/store-i18n` already carries. - Use `import unittest.mock as mock` in `test_applications.py`, as the rest of the suite does. - Spell `_NON_PRINTABLE` in `utils/yaml_bootstrap.py` as the equivalent BMP-only positive class; it matches exactly the same 2111 code points as the old negated class across U+0000..U+10FFFF.

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/*).
