Deduplicate release-ref resolution logic in ansible/deploy.yml #103

Description

@ineedjet

Problem

ansible/deploy.yml has three near-identical ~30-line bash blocks, each
parsing an owner/repo@tag[:asset] ref, resolving @latest via
gh release view, and downloading the asset:

  • "Pull Flightdeck package" (machinery bundle, flightdeck_app_ref, single ref)
  • the download_release_ref() function inside "Pull and merge app packages"
    (called once per entry in flightdeck_app_refs)
  • "Pull encrypted env package" (flightdeck_env_ref, single ref)

These three copies implement the exact same parsing/resolution logic
independently, and #102 added a fourth-ish variant (the loop version) while
splitting flightdeck_extra_refs into flightdeck_app_refs. A bug fix or
behavior change to ref resolution (@latest handling, :asset-name suffix
parsing, error messages) needs to be applied in three places by hand, with
nothing — no test, no lint — catching a missed spot.

Proposed change

Prefer Ansible-native reuse instead of extracting this into a standalone
shell-script dependency. Move the shared release-ref download/resolution
sequence into a reusable task file, for example:

ansible/tasks/download_release_asset.yml

and invoke it from the existing call sites with ansible.builtin.include_tasks,
passing the ref, output directory, and default-asset behavior as variables.

The reusable task should expose enough facts/results for callers to use the
resolved artifact, ideally including:

  • original ref;
  • repository;
  • resolved tag (especially when the input uses @latest);
  • resolved asset name;
  • downloaded file path.

This keeps the orchestration expressed as Ansible tasks while centralizing the
ref parsing, @latest resolution, download, validation, and error behavior.

Env asset detail

The env call site has one important difference from the machinery/app bundle
cases: when no explicit :asset suffix is supplied, its default asset name is
derived from the resolved tag (<tag>.sops.env). Therefore owner/repo@latest
must first resolve latest to the concrete release tag and only then derive
the default env asset name.

The reusable task should support this without duplicating ref-resolution logic
back into the env caller.

This structure should also compose naturally with future env_refs: the caller
can loop over refs and include the same reusable task for every source rather
than introducing another copy of the shell implementation.

Not urgent — the current duplication works correctly (--syntax-check and
matrix trace-through verified in #102) — but worth doing before additional
call sites appear or this logic needs an actual bug fix.

                  The env call site has one important difference from the machinery/app bundle
                  cases: when no explicit :asset suffix is supplied, its default asset name is
                  derived from the resolved tag (<tag>.sops.env). Therefore owner/repo@latest
                  must first resolve latest to the concrete release tag and only then derive
                  the default env asset name.

                  The reusable task should support this without duplicating ref-resolution logic
                  back into the env caller.

                  This structure should also compose naturally with future env_refs: the caller
                  can loop over refs and include the same reusable task for every source rather
                  than introducing another copy of the shell implementation.

                  Not urgent — the current duplication works correctly (--syntax-check and
                  matrix trace-through verified in #102) — but worth doing before additional
                  call sites appear or this logic needs an actual bug fix.

                      Deduplicate release-ref resolution logic in ansible/deploy.yml #103

                      Description

                      @ineedjet

                      Problem

                      ansible/deploy.yml has three near-identical ~30-line bash blocks, each
                      parsing an owner/repo@tag[:asset] ref, resolving @latest via
                      gh release view, and downloading the asset:

                      • "Pull Flightdeck package" (machinery bundle, flightdeck_app_ref, single ref)
                      • the download_release_ref() function inside "Pull and merge app packages"
                        (called once per entry in flightdeck_app_refs)
                      • "Pull encrypted env package" (flightdeck_env_ref, single ref)

                      These three copies implement the exact same parsing/resolution logic
                      independently, and #102 added a fourth-ish variant (the loop version) while
                      splitting flightdeck_extra_refs into flightdeck_app_refs. A bug fix or
                      behavior change to ref resolution (@latest handling, :asset-name suffix
                      parsing, error messages) needs to be applied in three places by hand, with
                      nothing — no test, no lint — catching a missed spot.

                      Proposed change

                      Prefer Ansible-native reuse instead of extracting this into a standalone
                      shell-script dependency. Move the shared release-ref download/resolution
                      sequence into a reusable task file, for example:

                      ansible/tasks/download_release_asset.yml

                      and invoke it from the existing call sites with ansible.builtin.include_tasks,
                      passing the ref, output directory, and default-asset behavior as variables.

                      The reusable task should expose enough facts/results for callers to use the
                      resolved artifact, ideally including:

                      • original ref;
                      • repository;
                      • resolved tag (especially when the input uses @latest);
                      • resolved asset name;
                      • downloaded file path.

                      This keeps the orchestration expressed as Ansible tasks while centralizing the
                      ref parsing, @latest resolution, download, validation, and error behavior.

                      Env asset detail

                      The env call site has one important difference from the machinery/app bundle
                      cases: when no explicit :asset suffix is supplied, its default asset name is
                      derived from the resolved tag (<tag>.sops.env). Therefore owner/repo@latest
                      must first resolve latest to the concrete release tag and only then derive
                      the default env asset name.

                      The reusable task should support this without duplicating ref-resolution logic

                              • original ref;
                              • repository;
                              • resolved tag (especially when the input uses @latest);
                              • resolved asset name;
                              • downloaded file path.

                              This keeps the orchestration expressed as Ansible tasks while centralizing the
                              ref parsing, @latest resolution, download, validation, and error behavior.

                              Env asset detail

                              The env call site has one important difference from the machinery/app bundle
                              cases: when no explicit :asset suffix is supplied, its default asset name is
                              derived from the resolved tag (<tag>.sops.env). Therefore owner/repo@latest
                              must first resolve latest to the concrete release tag and only then derive
                              the default env asset name.

                              The reusable task should support this without duplicating ref-resolution logic
                              back into the env caller.

                              This structure should also compose naturally with future env_refs: the caller
                              can loop over refs and include the same reusable task for every source rather
                              than introducing another copy of the shell implementation.

                              Not urgent — the current duplication works correctly (--syntax-check and
                              matrix trace-through verified in #102) — but worth doing before additional
                              call sites appear or this logic needs an actual bug fix.
