Ansible forks a fresh worker process for every task, so the in-process
cache behind lookup('applications') was cold in every task. Each task that
touched the merged applications tree (config, domains, nginx, tls, cdn and
their callers) paid a full render: about 16 s on main and 21 to 23 s on this
branch, where ten more application roles carry MCP and AI Jinja. Measured on
the workspace jobs of run 33574056480 against the main run: 331 such tasks
(93 min, 39 % of the job) versus 391 (141 min, 43 %); the same unit is 9 to
43 % of every compose and swarm deploy job on disk. The parent process
rendered once per play, late, while templating a task name, and only the
tasks after that point ran warm.
The constructor now renders once through the new applications_carrier
action and parks the payload with its cache key in the host fact
_INFINITO_APPLICATIONS_RENDERED. Every later worker inherits the fact at
fork time and get_merged_applications serves it while the key (roles dir,
applications, users, DOMAIN_PRIMARY, SYSTEM_EMAIL_DOMAIN) still matches; a
mismatch falls back to the old render. The action masks its own result: the
payload is the whole tree with every credential, and CI runs with
MASK_CREDENTIALS_IN_LOGS false.
The task sits after the networks, design and service_provider merges, after
the add_host placements and after the token store. An independent review
showed that an earlier position bakes stale values into the play: the
web-app-wordpress title rendered to 'Blog by ' because service_provider did
not exist yet. User records inside the payload are the token store's state
at render time; readers of tokens captured later keep using lookup('users')
or lookup('config', app, 'users.…'), which read the users cache fresh.
Expected savings per job: about 130 min on a fork workspace run, 16 min on
an average compose deploy and 28 min on an average swarm deploy. The
constructor's own lookups before the carrier stay cold.
