fix(ci): make the dogfood gate .deed-aware - #55
Conversation
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.

199-200: 🎯 Functional CorrectnessThe validator only recognises
:schema-versionat 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’sDEED-GRAMMAR-SPEC. The false missing-version error therefore cannot be decided from the available evidence.
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.

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.shwas vendored at 13,737 bytes by commitd5f229d(2026-07-27, "ci: vendor validation scripts and remove remote action pins") — six weeks
before the 09-03 DEED rename. It contains zero
.deedreferences.Replaced with the canonical dual-accept body from
hyperpolymath/deed-ecosystem/validate-action@f9d999b6(17,544 b), which dispatches onthe DEED s-expression head —
(estate-deed|repo-deed|estate-atlas-deed|praxis-deed)on thefirst form, per
DEED-GRAMMAR-SPEC <<concrete-syntax>>— and keeps.a2mlpassing aslegacy. This repo's own
SPDX-License-Identifierline is preserved, not overwritten.2. 🚨 The step that gates that validator counted only
*.a2mlOn a repo that had migrated to
.deed,COUNTwould be 0, the validate step would beskipped, 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.a2mland to runa2mliser init. Reworded to name.deedas the format to author,.a2mlas 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):
