kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5 53c120aaac refactor(dsk): rename the desktop tier and give its agents a category
Every desk- role becomes dsk-, and the three coding agents move to dsk-gnt- under a category of their own. The category carries a title, hanzi and icon but no invokable flag: an invokable child under an invokable parent is rejected outright, which is also why web itself is not invokable.

Three things a search and replace would have broken without a sound. get_entity_name now strips dsk-gnt-, so the primary entity keys agnt-claude, agnt-cursor and agnt-pi no longer resolved and all three roles dropped out of the CI plan. Eighteen run_once guards carried the old name against a convention its own test enforces. DESKTOP_ROLE_PREFIX in the addon spec lint is a literal, so the desktop exemption it grants would have matched nothing and the lint would have moved to the wrong rule in silence.

docs/requirements/035 is not a historical document but a register a lint holds to every role with an application_id, so its list carries the new ids. In 026 only the links move; the prose stays as a statement about the tree at the time it was written.

Measured against the plan with the rename normalised, the deployed role#variant set is unchanged. A stale id in an inventory is caught before any deploy starts: the pre-flight validator reports Invalid group 'desk-firefox' (not in application_ids).

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/*).
