This commit enhances the behaviour of pull_with_verification() and adds a
comprehensive unit test suite covering all control flows.
Changes:
- Added `preview` parameter to fully disable interaction and execution.
- Improved verification logic:
* Prompt only when not in preview, verification is enabled,
verification info exists, and verification failed.
* Skip prompts entirely when --no-verification is set.
- More explicit construction of `git pull` command with optional extra args.
- Improved messaging and formatting for clarity.
- Ensured directory existence is checked before any verification logic.
- Added detailed comments explaining logic and conditions.
Tests:
- New file tests/unit/pkgmgr/actions/repos/test_pull_with_verification.py
- Covers:
* Preview mode (no input, no subprocess)
* Verification failure – user rejects
* Verification failure – user accepts
* Verification success – immediate git call
* Missing repository directory – skip silently
* --no-verification flag bypasses prompts
* Command formatting with extra args
- Uses systematic mocking for identifier, repo-dir, verify_repository(),
subprocess.run(), and user input.
This significantly strengthens correctness, UX, and test coverage of the
repository pull workflow.

This commit introduces proper handling of the `ignore: true` flag in the
repository selection mechanism and adds comprehensive unit tests for both
`ignored.py` and `selected.py`.
- `get_selected_repos()` now filters ignored repositories in all implicit
selection modes:
• filter-only mode (string/category/tag)
• `--all` mode
• CWD-based selection
- Explicit identifiers (e.g. `pkgmgr install ignored-repo`) **bypass**
ignore filtering, so the user can still operate directly on ignored
repositories if they ask for them explicitly.
- Added `_maybe_filter_ignored()` helper to handle logic cleanly and allow
future extension (e.g. integrating a CLI flag `--include-ignored`).
Under `tests/unit/pkgmgr/core/repository`:
1. **test_ignored.py**
• Ensures `filter_ignored()` removes repos with `ignore: true`
• Ensures empty lists are handled correctly
2. **test_selected.py**
Comprehensive coverage of the selection logic:
• Explicit identifiers bypass ignore filtering
• Filter-only mode excludes ignored repos unless `include_ignored=True`
• `--all` mode excludes ignored repos unless explicitly overridden
• CWD-based detection filters ignored repos unless explicitly overridden
Before this change, ignored repositories still appeared in `pkgmgr list`,
`pkgmgr status`, and other commands using `get_selected_repos()`.
This was unintuitive and broke the expected semantics of the `ignore`
attribute.
The new logic ensures ignored repositories are truly invisible unless
explicitly requested.

- Move the monolithic pkgmgr/actions/release.py implementation into the
pkgmgr.actions.release package, splitting concerns into versioning,
git_ops and files helpers.
- Extend the release orchestration to update Fedora/RPM %changelog
entries via update_spec_changelog(), reusing the same effective
release message as for CHANGELOG.md and debian/changelog.
- Wire the new update_spec_changelog() helper into _release_impl() so
every release keeps project, Debian and RPM metadata in sync.
- Add unit tests for update_spec_changelog() and for the updated release
orchestration behaviour in preview and real modes.
- Remove the deprecated pkgmgr/actions/release.py module.

This commit introduces a large-scale structural refactor of the pkgmgr
codebase. All functionality has been moved from the previous flat
top-level layout into three clearly separated namespaces:
• pkgmgr.actions – high-level operations invoked by the CLI
• pkgmgr.core – pure logic, helpers, repository utilities,
versioning, git helpers, config IO, and
command resolution
• pkgmgr.cli – parser, dispatch, context, and command
handlers
Key improvements:
- Moved all “branch”, “release”, “changelog”, repo-management
actions, installer pipelines, and proxy execution logic into
pkgmgr.actions.<domain>.
- Reworked installer structure under
pkgmgr.actions.repository.install.installers
including OS-package installers, Nix, Python, and Makefile.
- Consolidated all low-level functionality under pkgmgr.core:
• git helpers → core/git
• config load/save → core/config
• repository helpers → core/repository
• versioning & semver → core/version
• command helpers (alias, resolve, run, ink) → core/command
- Replaced pkgmgr.cli_core with pkgmgr.cli and updated all imports.
- Added minimal __init__.py files for clean package exposure.
- Updated all E2E, integration, and unit tests with new module paths.
- Fixed patch targets so mocks point to the new structure.
- Ensured backward compatibility at the CLI boundary (pkgmgr entry point unchanged).
This refactor produces a cleaner, layered architecture:
- `core` = logic
- `actions` = orchestrated behaviour
- `cli` = user interface

- Added rich error reporting to install_repos() for clearer installer failure context
(repository identifier, repo directory, installer name, exit code).
- Updated E2E test 'install_all_shallow' to show additional diagnostics,
including Nix profile dumps and contextual SystemExit handling.
- Removed outdated/deactivated test file.
- New test now mirrors the robust debugging flow of the pkgmgr-only test.

Summary:
This commit performs a major cleanup and modernization of the installation pipeline:
1. Introduced a new capability-detection subsystem:
- Capabilities (python-runtime, make-install, nix-flake) are detected per installer/layer.
- Installers run only when they add new capabilities.
- Prevents duplicated work such as Python installers running when Nix already provides the runtime.
2. Removed deprecated pkgmgr.yml manifest installer:
- Dependency resolution is now delegated entirely to real package managers (Nix, pip, make, distro build tools).
- Simplifies layering and avoids unnecessary recursion.
3. Reworked OS-specific installers:
- Arch PKGBUILD now uses 'makepkg --syncdeps --cleanbuild --install --noconfirm'.
- Debian installer now builds proper .deb packages via dpkg-buildpackage + installs them.
- RPM installer now builds packages using rpmbuild and installs them via rpm.
4. Switched from remote GitHub flakes to local-flake execution:
- Wrapper now executes: nix run /usr/lib/package-manager#pkgmgr
- Avoids lock-file write attempts and improves reliability in CI.
5. Added bash -i based integration test:
- Correctly sources ~/.bashrc and evaluates alias + venv activation.
- ‘pkgmgr --help’ is now printed for debugging without failing tests.
6. Updated unit tests across all installers:
- Removed references to manifest installer.
- Adjusted expectations for new behaviors (makepkg, dpkg-buildpackage, rpmbuild).
- Added capability subsystem tests.
7. Improved flake.nix packaging logic:
- The entire project source tree is copied into the runtime closure.
- pkgmgr wrapper now executes runpy inside the packaged directory.
Together, these changes create a predictable, layered, capability-driven installer pipeline with consistent behavior across Arch, Debian, RPM, Nix, and Python layers.
- Rename requirements.txt to _requirements.txt to avoid unintended self-install via PythonInstaller.
- Update flake.nix to provide Python with pip in both devShell and runtime closure.
- Generate a wrapper for pkgmgr that uses the pip-enabled interpreter.
- Adjust NixFlakeInstaller to correctly handle old profile removal and install outputs.
- Update run_command to support string commands and allow_failure.
- Improve integration test by adding nix profile cleanup and debugging output.

- Enable 'nix-command' and 'flakes' globally via flake.nix nixConfig
- Improve .gitignore by excluding *.log files
- Add integration test for shallow clone mode using pkgmgr install pipeline
- Ensures pkgmgr works end-to-end inside test container with --clone-mode shallow

- Add ansiblePkg as propagated dependency in flake.nix so ansible-galaxy is available on host
- Introduce strict requirements.yml validator for AnsibleRequirementsInstaller
- Accept roles entries with either 'name' or 'src'
- Ensure run() always validates requirements before installing dependencies
- Extend unit tests to cover valid, invalid and warning-only requirements.yml cases
