kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5.5 6e776a5780 refactor(python): clear the open CodeQL code-quality alerts
- Declare `__all__` in every package `__init__.py` whose `PROJECT_ROOT`
  is imported by its modules (163 packages), so the constant counts as
  exported; list every public name where the package defines more.
- Empty the 15 package `__init__.py` files whose `PROJECT_ROOT` no module
  imports.
- Declare the public API of `utils.github.variant.axes` in `__all__`,
  re-exports included, instead of silencing them with `noqa: F401`; the
  list matches the one `feature/store-i18n` already carries.
- Use `import unittest.mock as mock` in `test_applications.py`, as the
  rest of the suite does.
- Spell `_NON_PRINTABLE` in `utils/yaml_bootstrap.py` as the equivalent
  BMP-only positive class; it matches exactly the same 2111 code points
  as the old negated class across U+0000..U+10FFFF.

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/*).
