Role Validation Helpers ✅¶

Validators that gate role inputs and outputs against project rules.

Scope 📋¶

Modules in utils/roles/validation/ MUST limit themselves to checking that role artefacts and their derived names obey the constraints documented in docs/contributing/: legal application identifiers, deployment-target invokability, container resource shape.

Validators MUST raise typed exceptions (or return the offending value with a clear message) so callers can surface the failure at the right layer (CLI exit code, lint test failure, runtime assertion).

Validators MUST stay independent of Ansible plugin loader behavior at import time so the same code runs from filter plugins, lookup plugins, the CLI, and tests.

Modules 📦¶

Module	Validates
deploy_id.py	Application id strings against the canonical `<bucket>-<entity>` shape and the active deploy-id grammar.
invokable.py	Whether an application can legitimately be invoked under a given deployment type (e.g. `server`, `workstation`, `universal`).
resources.py	Container resource declarations (`cpus`, `mem_reservation`, `mem_limit`, `pids_limit`) for shape and unit consistency.
