📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The developer setup skill now directs plugin selection from the metadata choices list and excludes always-deployed plugins from command arguments. The metadata and deployment examples omit foreman_remote_execution and katello from selectable plugins. The plugin registry documentation removes one foreman_openscap entry.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Plugin selection and registry documentation
.agents/skills/dev-setup/SKILL.md, development/playbooks/deploy-dev/metadata.obsah.yaml, docs/developer/development-environment.md
The skill directs selection from the metadata choices list and requires asking again for unlisted plugins. It identifies katello and foreman_remote_execution as always deployed and excludes them from plugin command arguments. The metadata choices and deployment examples omit foreman_remote_execution and katello. The registry removes the earlier foreman_openscap entry.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Review details

Systems and components

  • observed — docs (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in docs/developer/development-environment.md: Removed the foreman_openscap registry entry described as “OpenSCAP compliance”; the separate entry describing OpenSCAP audit reports remains.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .agents/skills/dev-setup/SKILL.md: Corrected “abilty” to “ability” in the skill description.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .agents/skills/dev-setup/SKILL.md: Plugin instructions now direct users to the metadata choices list, require re-asking when a selected plugin is not listed, and identify katello and foreman_remote_execution as always deployed rather than selectable options. This replaces the prior instruction to ask which plugins to enable and describe those two as defaults.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .agents/skills/dev-setup/SKILL.md: The command-building instruction now excludes the always-deployed katello and foreman_remote_execution plugins from plugin arguments.

`katello` and `foreman_remote_execution` are always deployed, so do not offer them as plugin options and do not pass them on the command line.

Take the selectable plugins from the `choices` list in `development/playbooks/deploy-dev/metadata.obsah.yaml` rather than hardcoding them. Show the user all of them. If the answer names a plugin that is not in `choices`, ask again instead of passing it through.

Exclude always-deployed plugins from the displayed choices.

The metadata choices list includes foreman_remote_execution, but Line 62 says not to offer it. Filter always-deployed plugins out before showing the choices, and validate selections against that filtered list.

@arvind4501 Yes. Removing foreman_remote_execution from the metadata choices list is a cleaner fix than filtering it only in the skill.

The role already includes it in foreman_development_default_plugins. The deployment tasks concatenate default plugins with user-selected plugins, so passing it explicitly causes duplicate processing. Removing it from choices does not remove it from the default deployment.

Keep its default entry and plugin registry entry. Also update the “Enable all available plugins” example in docs/developer/development-environment.md, which currently passes it explicitly.

Compatibility note: Removing the choice will reject existing commands that pass --foreman-development-enabled-plugin foreman_remote_execution. If you need to preserve those commands, filter the skill’s displayed options instead.

The dev CI is failing because of recent version bumps for hammer REX theforeman/hammer_cli_foreman_remote_execution@0e8ea0e. Katello/hammer-cli-katello#1046 can fix it.
