install-lint provisioned chrome-headless-shell on every run, and `make lint` runs install-lint once per lint target in parallel whenever its stamp is not fresh. On CI the stamp never is (eslint lives in node_modules, not on PATH), so one lint job provisioned 16 times (run 38455552981). As root, puppeteer's --install-deps runs `apt-get satisfy` even for an installed browser, and two of those at once fail on the dpkg lock; a failed provisioning then deleted the shared browser cache while lint-mermaid could be rendering with it. The browser is now provisioned only when it is not installed, and --force drops its cache so `make install-lint-force` still reinstalls it with its libraries.

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/*).
