Why

This repo's Dogfood Gate enforced A2ML, a format that no longer exists. A2ML was
retired after a name clash with the ML community; the live s-expression format is
.deed, which has a grammar (DEED-GRAMMAR-SPEC) and is bound for IANA.

There are two defects here, and fixing only the first would have been a fake cure.

1. The validator was frozen before the rename

.githooks/validate-a2ml.sh was vendored at 13,737 bytes by commit d5f229d
(2026-07-27, "ci: vendor validation scripts and remove remote action pins") — six weeks
before the 09-03 DEED rename. It contains zero .deed references.

Replaced with the canonical dual-accept body from
hyperpolymath/deed-ecosystem/validate-action @ f9d999b6 (17,544 b), which dispatches on
the DEED s-expression head — (estate-deed|repo-deed|estate-atlas-deed|praxis-deed) on the
first form, per DEED-GRAMMAR-SPEC <<concrete-syntax>> — and keeps .a2ml passing as
legacy
. This repo's own SPDX-License-Identifier line is preserved, not overwritten.

2. 🚨 The step that gates that validator counted only *.a2ml

COUNT=$(find . -name '*.a2ml' -not -path './.git/*' | wc -l)
- name: Validate A2ML manifests
  if: steps.detect.outputs.count > 0      # <- the actual gate
  run: bash .githooks/validate-a2ml.sh

On a repo that had migrated to .deed, COUNT would be 0, the validate step would be
skipped, and the job would report green having validated nothing. Upgrading the
validator alone would have been invisible.

The selector now admits both extensions — the same shape the K9 job in this very file
already uses
(find . \( -name '*.k9' -o -name '*.k9.ncl' \)).

3. The gate was instructing maintainers to author the dead format

The warning and summary told every RSR repo to create 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml and to run
a2mliser init. Reworded to name .deed as the format to author, .a2ml as legacy.

Measured, one denominator

Census across the 75 repos carrying a vendored .githooks/validate-a2ml.sh
(75 unique repos; an earlier figure of 79 was a row count — 4 slugs were duplicated by
two local checkouts reaching one remote):

property count
detect step counts only *.a2ml 75 / 75
workflow mentions deed at all 0 / 75
carry any .deed file at origin/main 0 / 75
validator at 13,737 b / md5 8f61f8da / MPL-2.0 74
echidna — 13,747 b / c1769fc4 / AGPL-3.0-or-later 1

Why edit 2 is safe

It is behaviour-neutral today. find A -o B is a strict superset of find A, and
0 of 75 repos carry a .deed file, so COUNT is unchanged on every repo in the
population. The change is purely forward-correct: it stops the gate going silently green
the day a repo migrates.

Verification

  • bash -n on the new validator: clean.
  • python3 -c 'yaml.safe_load(...)' on the edited workflow: parses.
  • The sweep asserts its own precondition per repo — exact size and md5 and SPDX
    before any write — and refuses (skips + flags) on any mismatch rather than overwriting an
    unrecognised file. echidna is handled by the same assert, which is what prevented a
    blanket copy from silently relicensing it AGPL-3.0-or-later → MPL-2.0.
  • Post-edit asserts: the restored SPDX line is present, the widened selector is present, and
    no a2ml-only find survived.
  • Upstream regression evidence: the 17,544-byte body is already merged on origin/main in
    both a2ml-ecosystem and deed-ecosystem; 14 repos / 725 .a2ml files produced
    identical exit codes under old and new validators, with a planted positive and negative.

Not changed here

  • strict stays false. Flipping it is a separate, measured decision: 8 of 10 sampled
    repos go rc=0 → rc=1.
  • No .a2ml file is renamed. Extension migration is explicitly held pending a dry-run
    manifest (19,477 tracked .a2ml vs 15 .deed).
  • The canonical validator's own line 5 still reads
    # validate-a2ml.sh — A2ML manifest validation script. Left byte-identical to upstream
    on purpose, so "is this repo at canonical?" stays answerable by md5. Flagged for an
    upstream fix in deed-ecosystem
    , where it corrects once for every consumer.

The dogfood gate enforced a format that no longer exists. Two defects, and
fixing only the first would have been a fake cure.

1. .githooks/validate-a2ml.sh was frozen at a pre-DEED revision (13,737 b) with
   zero .deed references. Replaced with the canonical dual-accept body from
   deed-ecosystem/validate-action (17,544 b), which dispatches on the DEED
   s-expression head and keeps .a2ml passing as legacy. This repo's own
   SPDX-License-Identifier line is preserved.

2. The detect step that GATES that validator counted only *.a2ml:

       COUNT=$(find . -name '*.a2ml' ...)
     - name: Validate A2ML manifests
       if: steps.detect.outputs.count > 0

   So on a repo that had migrated to .deed, COUNT would be 0, the validate step
   would be SKIPPED, and the job would report green having validated nothing.
   The selector now admits both extensions -- the same shape the K9 job in this
   file already uses.

Edit 2 is behaviour-neutral today: this repo carries no .deed file, so COUNT is
unchanged. It is purely forward-correct.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for .deed files and DEED manifest validation.
    • Recognised DEED identity and :schema-version declarations during validation.
    • Added support for manifests in machine-readable/ and .machine_readable/ locations.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved manifest detection and exemption handling, including stricter AI manifest naming.
    • DEED files now require an explicit schema version, including those in machine-readable locations.
    • Attestation warnings are skipped for manifest files.
  • Chores

    • Updated the Dogfood Gate to detect and report .deed manifests, with .a2ml identified as a legacy format.

Walkthrough

The validator now scans .deed files and supports DEED identity and schema-version forms. The Dogfood Gate detects DEED manifests and describes .a2ml files as legacy.

Changes

DEED validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
DEED identity and version rules
.githooks/validate-a2ml.sh
The validator recognises first-form deed heads, DEED keyword identity forms, and :schema-version. It supports both machine-readable directory names and limits the manifest exemption to .a2ml files.
Validator scan and manifest handling
.githooks/validate-a2ml.sh
The scan includes .deed files. Messages describe both extensions. Manifest files no longer receive attestation warnings.
Dogfood Gate DEED detection
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The workflow detects .deed and .a2ml files. Warnings and the scorecard identify 0-AI-MANIFEST.deed as the required manifest.

.githooks/validate-a2ml.sh (1)

199-200: 🎯 Functional Correctness

The validator only recognises :schema-version at the start of a physical line. However, the checkout contains no DEED grammar or fixtures that establish whether (repo-deed :schema-version "1.0.0") is valid syntax. The web results identify unrelated projects and do not provide the repository’s DEED-GRAMMAR-SPEC. The false missing-version error therefore cannot be decided from the available evidence.

Comment thread .github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml Outdated
CodeRabbit raised three findings on the first commit. All three are correct.

1. The step summary reported the combined .a2ml+.deed count as ".a2ml file(s)",
   and the scorecard row was renamed to "DEED manifest" while its status still
   came from a find matching .a2ml too - so a repo holding only legacy manifests
   scored a green DEED row. That is a label asserting one thing while its check
   asks another, which is the exact defect class this branch exists to cure.
   Fixed by aligning the LABELS to the check rather than narrowing the check:
   narrowing to .deed only would red-score essentially every repo in the estate
   today (19,477 tracked .a2ml against 15 .deed), and this branch is
   behaviour-neutral by design.

2. Both find sites now pass -type f. A directory named *.deed is not a manifest.

3. The validator's structural-identity exemption no longer waives the schema
   version for .deed. DEED is the live, grammar-bearing format; legacy .a2ml
   keeps the exemption. Proved by control: two files in one machine-readable
   directory differing only by extension now get different verdicts.

Severity is unchanged (warning, and the gate invokes strict:false), so no repo
can turn red on this.

Scope the contractile-shape exemption to .a2ml files.

is_contractile_shape is set from file content without checking the extension. A .deed containing @intent, @must, or another recognised contractile directive therefore skips both the identity error and the missing-version warning. The contractile exemption is documented for A2ML files, while DEED requires :schema-version. In strict mode, the missing-version warning would otherwise become an error. Restrict this exemption to .a2ml before evaluating both checks.
