The update bot opened a version PR for web-app-jira (#821) although the role is end of life: none of the updaters looked at the lifecycle. utils.update.base.is_maintained now answers that question once, and the collectors for image versions, declared version sources, pip pins, repository refs and the addon check skip a role whose lifecycle is eol. The lint that requires every semver pin to be watched shares that scope, otherwise it would report the pins of the eol roles as unwatched. Every other stage, deprecated included, stays in the update scope. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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/*).
