kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5.5 660ad2ff16 fix(web-app-seaweedfs): keep the frontend on every node that serves clearnet
The frontend and its sso, logout, dashboard and prometheus consumers were
gated on 'svc-net-tor' not in group_names, written when a Tor node served
onion only. On a multi node that removed the clearnet filer vhost, so the
storage specs of every SeaweedFS consumer failed on a clearnet pick with
ERR_SSL_UNRECOGNIZED_NAME_ALERT on filer.<domain>.

lookup('network_served', <network>, *role_ids) answers whether the node's
resolved NETWORK_MODE serves a network and every named role is deployed.
The gates use it instead of restating the mode resolution and the provider
check, so the frontend now drops only on a tor-only node. is_explicit_truth
registers the lookup in GATED_LOOKUPS so the static closure still reads
those flags as dynamic, and the dynamic-flag and universal-logout checks ask
is_explicit_truth instead of matching "in group_names" themselves.

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/*).
