A pin outside semver was given its own 'docker-ref' marker on the theory that every class needs one. That holds for a digest and not for a tag. A digest pin declares something about the registry, that bytes move under a standing tag, which no other choice says. A tag outside semver declares that upstream publishes nothing orderable, which is exactly what 'docker-version' already means and what minio and the act runner already carry on their version lines. Keeping both would have put '# nocheck: docker-version, docker-ref' on every such line: two keys, two checks, one sentence said twice. 'docker-ref' is dropped instead. It lived in this one mapping, was never entered in the suppression catalog, and no check ever read it. The semver entry goes with it, because a semver pin never needs a declaration. The test that asserted three distinct rules is replaced by two that pin the separation where it is real: a digest marker differs from a tag marker, and a semver pin has no marker at all.

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/*).
