Ruleset refused a direct push, so this lands by PR. Two mechanical fixes, owner-ruled:

  1. AGENTIC licence line — Never use AGPL license (…) contradicts LICENCE-POLICY.adoc Rules 3/4/5 (which mandate AGPL for their scopes). Replaced with the policy pointer used in rsr-template-repo#45. See standards#646.
  2. a2ml-validate-action repin — the previously-pinned SHAs never existed; the repo was only created 2026-08-28 (split from a2ml/actions/validate, history preserved). Repinned to its real HEAD. See standards#669.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

…, #669)

1. The AGENTIC.a2ml agent-constraint line "Never use AGPL license (...)"
   contradicts LICENCE-POLICY.adoc Rules 3 (co-developed), 4 (network
   services) and 5 (games), which MANDATE AGPL-3.0-or-later - and 144
   copies named the retired PMPL-1.0-or-later. Replaced with a pointer to
   the policy plus the A2 no-automated-licence-edits rule, hardcoding no
   licence so it cannot go stale again. Same wording as the template fix
   in rsr-template-repo#45; owner-ruled sweep (2026-08-27).

2. Any workflow pinning hyperpolymath/a2ml-validate-action at 59145c7d or
   e558e79200 is repinned to 6ac6416f. Those two SHAs never existed: the
   repo itself was only created 2026-08-28 and populated by subtree split
   from a2ml/actions/validate (286 files, history preserved). The old
   pins could never resolve and made lockfile generation impossible.

Direct push per owner ruling of 2026-08-28.

Review Change Stack

Important

Review skipped

Review was skipped due to path filters

⛔ Files ignored due to path filters (1)
  • .github/workflows/actions.lock is excluded by !**/*.lock

CodeRabbit blocks several paths by default. You can override this behavior by explicitly including those paths in the path filters. For example, including **/dist/** will override the default block on the dist directory, by removing the pattern from both the lists.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Clarified licensing requirements for new and co-developed work.
    • Added guidance to consult the licensing policy rather than making assumptions.
    • Documented default licensing for code and prose, plus additional requirements for network-deployed, co-developed, and game-related work.
    • Confirmed that existing files must not be relicensed and automated licence sweeps must not be performed.
  • Chores

    • Added the shared standards reference for consistent policy guidance.
    • Improved validation reliability by pinning the workflow’s validation action to a specific version.

Walkthrough

The change defines explicit licence rules, adds the referenced standards submodule, and pins the A2ML validation action to an immutable commit.

Changes

Licence policy and validation controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Licence rule definition
.gitmodules, standards, .machine_readable/6a2/AGENTIC.a2ml
The repository adds the standards submodule and its pinned commit. The agent constraints now prohibit relicensing and automated licence sweeps. They require the licence policy and define rules for MPL-2.0, CC-BY-SA-4.0, PMPL, and AGPL-3.0-or-later.
Immutable validation action
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The A2ML validation action now uses a fixed commit SHA instead of @main.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 43c0e

The PR repins the validation action, but the workflow and lockfile currently specify different commits, which can cause validation to reject the workflow; synchronize the lockfile before merging.

Poem

A rabbit checks each licence line,

Policy rules now clearly align.
The standards path is pinned in place,
Validation keeps a fixed trace.
No sweeping tools cross the gate,
Each rule records the chosen state.

Pull Request Overview

The licensing configuration updates successfully incorporate Rules 1 through 5 of the LICENCE-POLICY.adoc and remove the blanket AGPL restriction. However, the PR is incomplete because the 'a2ml-validate-action' repin, which is a primary objective stated in the title and description, is missing from the code changes. This discrepancy between the stated intent and the implementation should be resolved before merging.

About this PR

  • The 'a2ml-validate-action' repin to the HEAD SHA is missing from the diff despite being explicitly mentioned in the PR title and description.

Test suggestions

  • Verify the licensing instruction block in the configuration file accurately lists Rules 1 through 5 of LICENCE-POLICY.adoc.
  • Verify that a2ml-validate-action is updated to the correct SHA in the workflow/configuration files.
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify that a2ml-validate-action is updated to the correct SHA in the workflow/configuration files.

# - Never relicense an existing file, and never run an automated licence
# sweep (LICENCE-POLICY.adoc A2). New files get correct SPDX from birth.
# - Never assume a licence. Read standards/LICENCE-POLICY.adoc: Rule 1

Restore the referenced licence policy or correct the path.

standards/LICENCE-POLICY.adoc is not tracked. The mandatory instruction at Line 26, combined with fail-closed = true, can prevent agents from selecting licences for new files. Add the policy at this path or update the reference.
