834 commits from the Tor onion-service branch against 299 of ours, from merge base7b646bdece: 127 conflicted files, 3506 files changed. The two sides are largely orthogonal. Theirs adds svc-net-tor and a `tor` service across the role tree, plus two sweeping refactors: shipped scripts sorted by language (files/ruby/, files/python/, files/shell/, scripts/lint/*.sh) and the unit suite moved under tests/unit/python/. Ours is requirement 036, the native AI gateway, plus the MCP role work. Most conflicts were both sides appending to the same service map, resolved as unions. Resolutions that were not unions: Credentials moved namespace. Theirs renamed meta/schema.yml to meta/secrets.yml and re-addressed credentials as secrets.credentials.<name>. Git carried our litellm_api_key blocks through the rename, but every consumer we added still read 'credentials.<name>', which no longer resolves. All 45 call sites are migrated. plugins/filter/container_volumes.py is deleted by theirs and relocated to plugins/lookup/container_volumes.py, where it carries the same tmpfs defect ourf85996b43had just fixed: a hard-coded {"size": ...} that silently drops a per mount `mode`. The fix is re-applied in the relocated file, as that commit's merge note anticipated. compose.yml keeps only INFINITO_PLAYWRIGHT_REPORTS_BASE_DIR. Theirs also forwards INFINITO_PLAYWRIGHT_STAGE_BASE_DIR; that line is deliberately dropped, per the analysis recorded in45804e9ad-- STAGE has a drift-proof role-vars fallback, while forwarding it promotes a setdefault-pinnable .env value above that SPOT. tasks/stages/01_constructor.yml takes their include, ./tasks/utils/setup/group.yml, because their refactor removed tasks/groups/*-roles.yml, leaving our include target nonexistent. Our task name is kept, since svc-virt is in the loop. Makefile swarm-zombie is a union: their validate plus teardown, then our lab_subnet cleanup, which their side dropped while leaving lab_subnet.sh as the only orphaned reference in the file. 01_bootstrap.sh keeps our deterministic --ip pinning, which distinguishes an already-attached node from a real failure, over their `|| true`. Their language-sorted layout orphaned references our side still held: zammad's two scripts/apply/*.rb, jenkins' java-with-ca-trust.sh, and the notify topics their handlers renamed to hyphenated form. All corrected. roles/sys-svc-compose/files/shell/swarm/stack_ready.sh gains our latched-update block: paused, rollback_paused, rollback_started and rollback_completed exit 2 rather than polling a state that cannot resolve without another deploy. config_from_run is unioned to (title, logged, jobs); the production caller in trigger/__main__.py now passes jobs, without which our suite suppression would have been inert. READMEs are regenerated rather than hand-merged: 15 LiteLLM rows and 91 Tor rows now derive from the merged metadata, which is itself evidence the meta merge is coherent. Verified: 5161 unit tests pass. The single failure, test_query.py TestSortSpec, also fails on fork/feature/svc-net-tor atb51d2f9919, measured in a baseline worktree -- so this merge introduces no new unit-test failure. Two modules are excluded from that run because `baudolo`, a dependency their branch introduces, is not installed on this host. Not verified: no deploy has run against the merged tree, and make quality has not been run end to end here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
utils/env 📐
This directory hosts the Python implementation behind make dotenv.
For the general rules that govern READMEs in code directories see documentation.md.
For the per-variable defaults that this code consumes see default.env.
Purpose 🎯
The package converts the committed default.env plus a small runtime context into the gitignored .env at the repo root.
Every module here belongs to one of four roles: parse, resolve, orchestrate, write.
Structure 🗂️
| File | Role |
|---|---|
parser.py |
Read default.env into (values, comments) tuples. |
runtime.py |
Resolve host-context lookups (disk, RAM, hostname, GHA/Act flags, /proc/version, helper-script invocation). |
builder.py |
Thin orchestrator that defines EnvBuilder, BuildContext, and build_env(). Walks the handler registry. |
writer.py |
Serialise an EnvBuilder into a docker-compose-compatible .env on disk. |
handlers/ |
One module per dynamically-computed variable. See handlers README. |
The CLI entry point lives at __main__.py under cli/meta/env/.
Shell consumers source load.sh under scripts/meta/env/.
File Naming 🏷️
- Module names MUST stay lowercase snake_case.
- Pure passthrough or simple parser/writer helpers MUST live directly under
utils/env/. - Per-variable computation MUST live under
handlers/(see handlers README for the naming convention used there). - Test files live in tests/unit/python/utils/env/ and mirror the module name with a
test_prefix.
Machine Facts vs Run Facts 🧭
The writer a handler picks decides how long a value lives. Both kinds are registered in default.env and both are visible to the lints; they differ only in whether the generated .env remembers what the environment said.
| Writer | Meaning | On the next make dotenv |
|---|---|---|
eb.setdefault |
machine fact | a non-empty value in the process env is adopted and written back |
eb.set |
run fact | recomputed from BuildContext; whatever the process env said is discarded |
setdefault is the operator-override contract: exporting a key changes it and the change persists. That persistence is why it MUST NOT carry a value an environment declares for a single run. Makefile exports BASH_ENV, so every make recipe sources .env — a value adopted once is re-exported into every later recipe and into every container that mounts the repo, and a per-run decision has silently become a property of the machine.
A key that some environment declares per run therefore MUST be written by a dedicated handler through eb.set. The exporting shell still wins for its own run, because load.sh preserves non-empty caller values when it sources .env; the file keeps the derived default. INFINITO_RUNNING_ON_GITHUB and INFINITO_CACHE_STACK are written this way. Note the consequence: for those keys .env and the running shell can legitimately disagree, and .env is not the authority.
Import Rules 🔗
parser.py,runtime.py, andwriter.pyMUST NOT import frombuilder.pyorhandlers/.builder.pyMUST NOT import individual handler modules; it MUST go through theORDERED_HANDLERSlist exposed byhandlers/__init__.py.- Handler modules MUST NOT import each other (see handlers README).
