Two arch swarm jobs in fork run 32667447816 died in the ganesha AUR install at 07:41Z, 42s apart, on two different network errors. All three EXTERNAL_FETCH attempts ran and lost - the ~40s window is sized for mirror pools where a bad member rotates out in seconds, but the AUR is one origin host: when it flaps, it flaps for minutes. A sibling job fetched the same package successfully 2.5 minutes earlier, and the module (kewlfft.aur 0.13.0) hardcodes the AUR URLs with no timeout or mirror knob, so a wider client-side window is the only available layer. 6x60s rides out a multi-minute flap and costs its 5 minutes only when the AUR is actually down; every mirror-pool source keeps the tighter EXTERNAL_FETCH.

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/*).
