kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5 6c816e893e refactor(github): group the variant modules and drop the blind-except
variant_bundle_limits.py next to variant_bundles.py formed the prefix group
'variant', which the structure lint reads as a folder in disguise. It stayed
green locally because that lint asks git ls-files: the new file was untracked
through every quality run and only became visible once committed. CI saw it
immediately - the sole failure of run 30675284663.

Both move to utils/github/variant/ as bundles.py and limits.py, and the test
mirrors along.

The BLE001 per-file ignore is removed rather than repointed. parse_size raises
humanfriendly.InvalidSize for a malformed string and TypeError only for a
non-string, and the value reaching it is always str - so the catch-all was
never needed. Measured, not assumed.

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/*).
