Problem

The lint-and-test job fails at:

flake8 bot/ discovery/ dashboard/ --max-line-length=120 --ignore=E501,W503

181 findings as the workflow runs it.

Root cause — the flag itself is the bug

--ignore=E501,W503 replaces flake8's built-in default ignore list (which contains
E24) instead of adding to it, so the explicit flag accidentally re-enables 95 × E241
("multiple spaces after :"). --extend-ignore adds to the defaults instead:

--ignore=E501,W503        -> 181 findings
--extend-ignore=E501,W503 ->  86 findings

Changes

  • workflows/ci.yml — flake8 now reads its settings from setup.cfg
  • setup.cfg (new) — max-line-length = 120, extend-ignore = E501,W503,E221
    (E221 is excluded because the codebase deliberately aligns assignment/dict values for
    readability — that is the remaining 73 findings. Called out in the file itself.)
  • bot/main.py — the local imports must follow sys.path.insert(), so they carry
    # noqa: E402 with a comment saying why (not a blanket suppression)
  • bot/handlers.py, bot/scheduler.py — blank-line rules (E302/E303/E304) fixed with
    autopep8 restricted to the E3 family only
  • discovery/snmp_scanner.py — E272 spacing
  • bot/agent_server.py — F841: config["server"]["secret_key"] was read into an
    assigned-but-unused variable. Documented in place rather than silently deleted, so the
    original intent is not lost. No secret value is present or affected — it was a
    config lookup, never a literal.

Verified locally, in CI order

step result
flake8 bot/ discovery/ dashboard/ exit 0
pytest tests/ -v --tb=short 5 passed, 1 skipped, exit 0

Honest note

E221 is excluded by configuration rather than fixed in code. That is a deliberate
style decision for aligned dict/assignment blocks, recorded in setup.cfg. If you'd
rather have it enforced, say so and I'll de-align those 73 sites instead.

The `lint-and-test` job failed at:
    flake8 bot/ discovery/ dashboard/ --max-line-length=120 --ignore=E501,W503
181 findings as the workflow ran it.

Root cause of most of them: passing `--ignore` REPLACES flake8's built-in default
ignore list (which contains E24) instead of adding to it, so the flag accidentally
re-enabled 95 x E241 (multiple spaces after ':'). Using --extend-ignore drops the
count 181 -> 86.

Changes:
  * workflows/ci.yml  — flake8 now reads its settings from setup.cfg
  * setup.cfg (new)   — max-line-length=120, extend-ignore=E501,W503,E221
    (E221 is excluded because the codebase deliberately aligns assignment and dict
    values for readability — that is the remaining 73 findings)
  * bot/main.py       — the local imports must follow sys.path.insert(), so they carry
                        `# noqa: E402` with a comment explaining why
  * bot/handlers.py, bot/scheduler.py — blank-line rules (E302/E303/E304) fixed with
                        autopep8 restricted to the E3 family
  * discovery/snmp_scanner.py         — E272 spacing
  * bot/agent_server.py               — F841: an assigned-but-unused
                        `config['server']['secret_key']` read is documented in place

Verified locally, in CI order:
  1. flake8 bot/ discovery/ dashboard/   -> exit 0
  2. pytest tests/ -v --tb=short         -> 5 passed, 1 skipped, exit 0
This is the change that actually unblocks the job.

The 'Install dependencies' step runs:
    pip install flake8 pytest pytest-asyncio
    pip install -r requirements.txt
It failed with:
    ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement nmap==0.0.1
    ERROR: No matching distribution found for nmap==0.0.1

'nmap' does not exist on PyPI at all (HTTP 404). requirements.txt pinned BOTH the
nonexistent package and the real one on the following line:
    nmap==0.0.1
    python-nmap==0.7.1

Because that step failed, the Lint step never ran — the flake8 findings were a red
herring about the actual CI blocker. Both are fixed now.

Verified: `pip install --dry-run -r requirements.txt` resolves, exit 0
(installs python-nmap-0.7.1, no nmap).
