Module moves (with imports, paths, argv literals, scripts, docs, and
parents[N] formulas updated in lockstep):
- cli/deploy -> cli/administration/deploy
- cli/validate/inventory -> cli/administration/inventory/validate
- cli/vault -> cli/administration/secrets/vault
- cli/administration/inventory/encrypt -> cli/administration/secrets/seal
- cli/mirror -> cli/contributing/mirror
The new cli/administration/secrets cluster collocates the whole-file
ansible-vault wrapper next to the inventory-aware per-field sealer.
The user-facing CLI subcommand paths follow the package layout, e.g.
"infinito administration deploy dedicated <inv>" and
"infinito administration inventory validate <inv>".
Help system redesign in cli/core/{discovery,help,app}.py:
- Discovery now distinguishes runnable commands (directories with
__main__.py) from category folders (directories that only group
further commands). Empty support packages are filtered out.
- Each category folder MAY carry a README.md; its H1 heading is used
as the title and its first paragraph as the one-line description in
the help output.
- "infinito" / "infinito --help" prints only the top-level entries
(one level deep). "infinito <category>" navigates into a folder and
shows its sub-folders and commands one level deep, with the README
title as the page heading and the invocation as a dim subtitle.
- New "--tree [N]" flag walks the tree under the (optional) path
prefix recursively. N caps the depth (1-based); omit N for an
unbounded walk. The output uses Unicode tree connectors, an emoji
per entry (folder for categories, gear for commands), a globally
aligned description column, and multi-line wrapped descriptions
with tree-continuity bars on continuation lines.
- Category and command listings use the full invocation
("infinito meta callorder") rather than the bare leaf name, so the
output is copy-pasteable.
Convention doc + 17 CLI READMEs:
- New docs/contributing/artefact/files/cli/readme_md.md describes the
H1+paragraph layout the help system reads, and how it differs from
role/docs READMEs.
- README.md added for cli/{administration, build, contributing, meta}
and their immediate sub-folders, plus cli/meta/roles/applications
and its resolution sub-folder. Each follows the "title with trailing
emoji + single descriptive paragraph" convention.
Mirror resolver/sync description strings (the help system reads them
from argparse --help output) added so they no longer surface as
"options:" in the global index. cli/mirror/cleanup already had a
description and is unchanged.
Fixes uncovered by the move:
- import unittest.mock added to four dedicated-deploy tests so
unittest.mock.patch resolves under stdlib unittest discovery
(Python 3.13 no longer surfaces unittest.mock through "import
unittest" alone).
- parents[N] index in the new
cli/administration/inventory/validate/__init__.py corrected from
3 to 4 to match the deeper layout.
- test_paths.INVENTORY_VALIDATOR_PATH assertion and test_runner
substring assertions updated to match the new validator path.

# Cache Helpers 💾
|
|
|
|
This package contains the in-process cache layers Infinito.Nexus uses to keep CLI tools, lookup plugins, and Ansible filters fast without re-reading or re-merging the same data multiple times per Python process.
|
|
|
|
## Modules 🧭
|
|
|
|
| Module | Caches |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| [yaml.py](yaml.py) | A single YAML file's parsed root, keyed by absolute path. Every other module routes its YAML reads through here so each file is parsed at most once per process. |
|
|
| [files.py](files.py) | The project tree's full path list (one walk per process) and per-file UTF-8 contents (`read_text`). Used by lint/integration tests and CLI tools that scan the repo. |
|
|
| [base.py](base.py) | Cross-cutting helpers: filesystem constants (`PROJECT_ROOT`, `ROLES_DIR`, `DEFAULT_TOKENS_FILE`), `_deep_merge`, cache-key + content-fingerprint signatures, the cross-domain re-entry guard, and the templar-render machinery. The only ansible-coupled symbol is `_render_with_templar`, which lazy-imports its dependency. |
|
|
| [applications.py](applications.py) | Per-app variants + defaults + `get_merged_applications`. **Strictly ansible-free at import time** so the GitHub Actions runner-host CLI path (`cli.administration.deploy.development.init` → `plan_dev_inventory_matrix` → `get_variants`) keeps working without ansible installed. |
|
|
| [users.py](users.py) | User definitions, token store hydration, alias materialization, `get_user_defaults`, `get_merged_users`. |
|
|
| [domains.py](domains.py) | Canonical-domains map derived from the merged applications view: `get_merged_domains`. |
|
|
| [`__init__.py`](__init__.py) | Owns the package-level `_reset_cache_for_tests()` orchestrator that clears every cache plus the shared fingerprint memo in one call. |
|
|
|
|
## When To Use Which 🎯
|
|
|
|
- Use `utils.cache.yaml.load_yaml(path)` (or `load_yaml_any(path)` when the YAML root is a list or scalar) whenever a CLI tool, filter, or library reads individual YAML files where the same path MAY be touched repeatedly within a single invocation.
|
|
- Import the cached getters directly from the domain module that owns them: `utils.cache.applications` for `get_application_defaults` / `get_variants` / `get_merged_applications`, `utils.cache.users` for `get_user_defaults` / `get_merged_users`, and `utils.cache.domains` for `get_merged_domains`. The package's `_reset_cache_for_tests` is exposed at `from utils.cache import _reset_cache_for_tests`.
|
|
|
|
The layers are orthogonal: `yaml.py` caches "this file's parsed root", the `applications`/`users`/`domains` modules cache "this aggregated, rendered payload". They do not invalidate each other and MAY both be active at the same time.
|
|
|
|
## Lifetime 🕒
|
|
|
|
Both layers are process-wide in-process caches. They intentionally do NOT track on-disk file mtimes; CLI tools are short-lived and the assumption "the on-disk file does not change while my process runs" holds. The single exception is `utils.cache.yaml.dump_yaml`, which writes through and evicts the cached entry for the path it just wrote so a tool that edits a file mid-run sees the new content on the next read.
|
|
|
|
## Test-Only Helpers 🧪
|
|
|
|
Each module owns a private `_reset()` that clears its own cache dicts. The package-level `utils.cache._reset_cache_for_tests()` orchestrates all six (`base`, `applications`, `users`, `domains`, `yaml`, `files`) plus the shared fingerprint memo. Unit tests that exercise the cached paths MUST call it in `setUp` to guarantee clean state across test cases.
|
|
|
|
## Design Guidelines 📐
|
|
|
|
- You MUST NOT introduce a third parallel cache for the same concern. If you need to cache a derived shape, add a getter to the appropriate domain module (`applications`, `users`, or `domains`) that builds on the existing primitives.
|
|
- You SHOULD prefer the explicit cached getter over re-implementing the same memoisation in a calling module.
|
|
- You MUST NOT mutate values returned by `utils.cache.yaml.load_yaml`. The same dict instance is returned to every caller; callers that need to mutate MUST `copy.deepcopy()` the result first. Each domain getter documents whether it returns a fresh deep copy or the cached instance; respect that contract.
|
|
- You MUST keep dependencies inside this package minimal. Cache primitives MUST remain importable from filter plugins, lookup plugins, and CLI tools without dragging in heavy dependencies. **Specifically: `applications.py` MUST stay ansible-free at import time.** See CI runs 24934007615 / 24935979190 for the regression that motivated the split. Tests in `tests/unit/utils/cache/test_data.py::TestImportableWithoutAnsible` pin both the import-time and call-time invariants.
