get_merged_applications writes its cache in the last line of the function,
and the re-entrancy guard returns above it. Every lookup('applications') a
template makes while the payload is being rendered therefore rebuilt it:
get_application_defaults deep-copies roughly two hundred roles, then the
merge runs again.
Profiled over one render of tests/integration/roles/test-e2e-cli: 382 calls,
18.765s of 29s, 13.7 million deepcopy calls. That test spent 208s in setUp
for twenty renders and now spends about half.
The guarded payload cannot go into _MERGED_APPLICATIONS_CACHE, because it
carries no users and still holds its volumes. It is memoised on the render
guard instead, which is thread-local, and the finally that releases the guard
drops it, so it lives exactly one render.
Three probes established the preconditions before the change: one cache key
across all 381 nested calls, re-entrancy depth never above 2, and not one of
the 381 payloads mutated after it was handed out. That last one was then
re-measured across the whole suite with the memo made self-checking: 6861
tests and 5133 subtests, no caller wrote to what it was given.
113113e553 removed the same cost between tasks through the carrier fact.
This removes what remains inside a single render.

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/*).
