📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds template-level controls for hiding dry-run and diff options. The frontend conditionally displays these controls and task options. The local executor omits ChangesTemplate option controls
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The template settings hide the Dry Run and Diff controls, but direct task arguments can still re-enable those flags, so the restriction is not fully enforced for users who can supply CLI arguments. This is a bounded correctness issue that should be addressed with explicit owner follow-up. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Reject hidden Ansible flags in task CLI arguments
When HideDiff or HideDryRun is enabled, reject --diff or --check in taskArgs before appending them. Task arguments accept arbitrary names and are appended after the hide checks.

Closes #1957.
Adds two per-template flags that let an admin remove the Dry Run (
--check) and Diff (--diff) checkboxes from the task dialog, for deployments that expose Semaphore to end users who have no use for them.The original issue asked for three things; two are already resolved (Debug is gated by
allow_debug, and the "Advanced" link no longer exists), Dry Run and Diff were the remainder.Why
hide_*rather thanallow_*allow_*would match the neighbouringallow_debug, but it would silently remove the checkboxes for existing templates on upgrade.task_paramsis stored as a JSON blob andFillParamsunmarshals it into the struct, so a key absent from templates created before this change unmarshals tofalse. Inverting the polarity makes the zero value the backwards-compatible one: "absent" means "false" means "not hidden" means "current behaviour".Happy to switch to
allow_*if you'd prefer the uniform naming. Or to rework a version that keeps both the naming and the compatibility at the cost of complexity:*boolwithnilmeaning "allowed". It costs a helper method that every read site must go through and a computed getter/setter for the tri-state checkbox.Tests
TestGetPlaybookArgs_HideDryRunAndDiffcovers the flag matrix, including a template whosetask_paramsisnil.Verified manually against a local instance: the checkboxes appear and disappear per template, and the setting round-trips through the template edit form.
Ran the dredd suite against a local instance before and after the change, with identical results, so no regression.

local_executor.go, not only in the UI.TaskParamsTerraformForm.vuehas its own params and is untouched.Summary by CodeRabbit
