Same as coreos/butane#629 but with updated gomplate from 4.3.3 to 5.2.0 as it brings Yescrypt support amongst other nice things.
--- Original PR message ---
This PR proposes a solution to coreos/butane#111, as envsubst may not be sufficient for all users.

This PR makes butane use gomplate as a templating engine, each file butane wants to open is passed through gomplate first.
Gomplate is configurable by having a .gomplate.yaml file in the current directory, no flags are used to configure gomplate (for CLI simplicity).


Assuming gomplate integration is something the team wants, I would understand if you vendored gomplate yourselves and only cherry picked the integration commit later, security is important and I completely understand that a +2.3M lines added by an external contributor doesn't feel safe. The install is in a separate commit and the command used is in the description for anyone wanting to check that nothing's fishy.

Thx!

edit: md formatting

Installed with: go get github.com/hairyhenderson/gomplate/v5@v5.2.0
- gomplate is opt-in via the `--enable-gomplate` flag
- the only way to configure it is by providing a `.gomplate.yaml` file in the used `files-dir`

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds optional gomplate rendering for local files. It initializes gomplate from configuration, exposes CLI options, updates file reading, adds tests, refreshes dependencies, and documents the integration.

Changes

Gomplate integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Renderer configuration and initialization
go.mod, butane/base/util/gomplate.go
Adds gomplate and updates Go dependencies. The utility package parses configuration and initializes plugins, data sources, templates, delimiters, and missing-key behavior.
CLI and local-file rendering flow
butane/base/util/file.go, butane/internal/main.go
Adds gomplate CLI options. The CLI initializes gomplate and routes opened local files through optional rendering.
Rendering validation and release documentation
butane/base/util/gomplate_test.go, docs/release-notes.md
Tests configuration errors, templates, HTTP context, delimiters, disabled rendering, missing files, and plugins. Release notes document the integration.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 50ff6

Template processing can unexpectedly use configuration from the working directory when the required files directory is omitted, which may change generated output based on ambient local files. The risk is bounded and mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up to constrain or document this default behavior.

🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 3 | ❌ 3

❌ Failed checks (3 warnings)

Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Title check ⚠️ Warning The title describes Gomplate integration but does not follow the required subsystem format, uses uppercase after the colon, and is not imperative. Use a title such as "butane: integrate gomplate" with a valid subsystem prefix, lowercase description, and imperative mood.
Docstring Coverage ⚠️ Warning Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 16 functions across 4 files. Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.
Commit Message Convention ⚠️ Warning Three non-merge commits violate the format: two have no subsystem: prefix, and chore: missing headers does not use imperative description. Rewrite the offending subjects with a valid subsystem and lowercase imperative description, with no trailing period; for example, docs: add missing headers.

Put the project import before external imports.

Move baseutil "github.com/coreos/ignition/v2/butane/base/util" into the project package group. Put github.com/spf13/pflag after a blank line in the external dependency group.

As per coding guidelines, "Use the project's import ordering in Go files: standard library imports, blank line, project packages, blank line, then external dependencies."

Proposed import order
-	"github.com/spf13/pflag"
-
 	baseutil "github.com/coreos/ignition/v2/butane/base/util"

GomplateConfigPath, renderer, and renderContext.

In `@butane/internal/main.go`:
- Around line 115-116: Update the initialization logic around EnableGomplate to
reject gomplate being enabled when options.FilesDir is empty, before
constructing GomplateConfigPath or loading configuration; retain the existing
path-joining behavior when a files directory is provided.

In `@go.mod`:
- Line 97: Upgrade github.com/go-git/go-git/v5 to v5.19.2 or later and
google.golang.org/grpc to v1.82.1 or later, then regenerate vendor/ so go.mod,
vendor/modules.txt, and all corresponding vendored source files reflect the
updated versions.

Note: latest gomplate doesn't support go 1.25, getting an older version of gomplate with 1.25 support looses Yescrypt and other QoL improvements so I'm a bit conflicted here
