Task 02: Fix chekoutSubmodule method-name typo across all call sites

• Type: Bug fix (correctness)
• Source: BUGS_AND_IMPROVEMENTS_REPORT.md §1.2

Goal

Method name in src/com/meesho/stages/checkOut.groovy:20 reads correctly as checkoutSubmodule; every caller in the codebase resolves; consumer Jenkinsfiles that reference the old name don't break overnight.

Acceptance Criteria

• checkOut.groovy:20 defines def checkoutSubmodule(String repo_name) — not chekoutSubmodule
• Every grep -rn 'chekoutSubmodule' hit in src/, vars/, resources/ is updated to checkoutSubmodule
• Cross-org sweep: search Meesho/* for chekoutSubmodule references and either:
  • (a) raise companion PRs on each consumer to update the call, or
  • (b) add a backwards-compat alias in checkOut.groovy:

    def chekoutSubmodule(String repo_name) {
        log.warning('chekoutSubmodule is deprecated — use checkoutSubmodule')
        return checkoutSubmodule(repo_name)
    }
    

• Alias (if present) is documented in a CHANGELOG-style note with a target removal date
• Smoke-test via a consumer Jenkinsfile that exercises the submodule checkout path
• No behavioural change in the underlying method body — only the name changes

Notes / known gotchas

• The alias path is the safer choice in a shared library — consumer Jenkinsfiles get reviewed and merged on their own schedule, and a hard rename will silently fail across the org.
• Once the alias is in, run gh search code 'chekoutSubmodule' --owner Meesho --json repository,path periodically to track removal readiness.
