Tooling integration
* add .markdownlint-cli2.jsonc, .ansible-lint, .ansible-lint-ignore
configs (permissive day-1: cosmetic rules disabled, semantic ones on)
* extend scripts/install/lint.sh with generic install_pip_pkg helper +
ensure_ansible_lint / ensure_galaxy_importer / ensure_markdownlint_cli2
ensure_* functions (pip / npm with sudo / --user / --break-system-packages
fallbacks). install_ansible_tools now also pulls ansible-lint and
galaxy-importer; new `markdown` install group.
* extend scripts/lint/ansible.sh to run ansible-lint after the existing
syntax-check.
* add scripts/lint/markdown.sh and scripts/lint/galaxy.sh runners. The
galaxy runner parallelizes via xargs (-P=$(nproc)), prints OK/FAIL per
role, and treats `bare-name dependency` errors as success since our
roles/ tree is not a Galaxy collection layout. All other Galaxy schema
errors still fail.
* Makefile: new lint-markdown and lint-galaxy targets, both wired into
`make lint`.
* CI: new workflows lint-markdown.yml and lint-galaxy.yml; lint-ansible.yml
now installs ansible-core + ansible-lint; ci-orchestrator wires both
new lint workflows into lint-gate.
Galaxy schema fixes
* shorten the canonical `galaxy_info.company` block from three lines to
two ("Kevin Veen-Birkenbach\nhttps://www.veen.world", 45 chars) so it
stays under Galaxy's hard 50-char limit. Updated everywhere: 229 role
meta/main.yml plus _CANONICAL_COMPANY in
tests/lint/repository/test_role_meta_main_galaxy_schema.py.
* shorten 19 over-long role descriptions to <=255 chars.
* add stub READMEs for sys-svc-compose-ca and sys-utils-service-loader.
Markdown baseline fixes
* markdownlint-cli2 --fix run repo-wide (formatting normalization
across CHANGELOG, role READMEs, docs).
* manual MD041 fixes: prepend H1 in 15 files (CHANGELOG, LICENSE,
TODO.md helpers, role README templates, etc.).
* MD025 / MD003 / MD001 / MD032 manual fixes for heading-style and
list-spacing edge cases.
* role README content polish: "## Single Point of Truth (SPOT)" headings
renamed to "## User data resolution" (D3 self-label rule).

System Utility: Git Pull (Shallow & Pinned)
Description
This Ansible role provides a robust, reusable Git pull utility for system automation.
It performs shallow clones or updates of Git repositories and optionally pins the working tree
to a specific tag (e.g. stable) in a detached HEAD state.
The role is designed to solve common automation pitfalls such as:
- conflicting local tags (
would clobber existing tag) - detached HEAD updates
- annotated vs. lightweight tags
- reliable change detection for Ansible
Internally, the role delegates complex Git logic to a small, well-tested Python helper script, keeping the Ansible YAML concise and readable.
Overview
This role:
- Ensures a repository exists at a given destination
- Clones the repository shallowly if it does not exist
- Updates an existing repository in a detached-safe manner
- Optionally removes conflicting local tags before fetching
- Optionally pins the checkout to a specific tag (e.g.
stable) - Marks the Ansible task as
changedif:- the repository was cloned
- tags were removed
- the pinned tag appeared for the first time
- the pinned tag moved on the remote (optional)
Purpose
The purpose of this role is to provide a generic, reusable Git pull primitive for other roles in the Infinito.Nexus ecosystem.
Typical use cases include:
- installing tools pinned to a
stabletag - reproducible system deployments
- CI/CD-friendly shallow clones
- avoiding fragile inline Git shell logic in roles
Features
- Shallow Clone & Update (
--depth) - Detached-safe Branch Updates
- Optional Tag Pinning (e.g.
stable) - Annotated Tag Support (
tag^{}) - Local Tag Conflict Healing
- Deterministic
changed_whenSemantics - Verbose Debug Logging (stderr-only)
Design Notes
- All human-readable logs go to stderr
- Machine-readable state (
CHANGED=…) is written to stdout - This guarantees reliable
changed_whenbehavior in Ansible - The Python helper is intentionally self-contained and unit-testable
