Closes F8 in hyperpolymath/standards docs/AUDIT.adoc: "the spine pins gates_sha256 but no gate verifies it."

Two stale values, found because nothing checked them

Canon 2.0.1 (standards#815) moved gates_sha256 when the criteria paths moved to 0-canon/rsr/. This repo kept asserting the superseded values, and no check said a word:

pin canon.lock asserts this repo declared
version 2.0.1 2.0.0 stale
criteria_sha256 efd024ad9cbdf0d3 efd024ad9cbdf0d3 in sync
gates_sha256 8b1a77669c9ab78e 4c57d515bd3fa9d1 stale

That isn't two careless values. This repo's own rsr-profile.a2ml asserted that "these values" — plural — equal canon.lock [canon.artifacts] at the canon's head, while the job meant to enforce it compared criteria_sha256 alone. The claim was wider than the check, so the other two could drift indefinitely and stay invisible.

When the thing that documents the binding is more confident than the thing that checks it, the documentation is the bug.

What changes

  1. Re-pinned machine-readable/rsr-profile.a2ml: version 2.0.0 → 2.0.1, gates_sha256 → 8b1a77669c9a…. criteria_sha256 is unchanged, which is correct — the criteria file is byte-identical; only its path moved.
  2. The comment above [canon] now describes what is actually checked, by which job, in which direction.
  3. The Canon lockstep job compares version, criteria_sha256 and gates_sha256, and prints a per-pin table either way.

Still no uses: in this job

Deliberate, and it holds: uses: count is 0, so this job still cannot worsen uses ⊆ actions.lock. Both new readers are pure awk + grep against files already fetched — canon.lock is already at $RUNNER_TEMP from the step above, and the profile is already fetched by SHA. No new network call, no new action.

The two readers are the same technique the canon's own check-canon-lockstep.sh uses, so there's one idiom across both repos. artefact_hash joins the inline table and greps the digest rather than assuming the sha256 sits on any particular line of the record.

An empty read cannot pass

Six values are read. Any empty one aborts with "refusing to compare an empty value" rather than comparing "" to "". That's the same class of failure this job already had once — reading a file that was never there — so it's now guarded explicitly rather than left to luck.

Witnesses

Negative control — this repo's shell run against the live canon at main:

| `version`         | `2.0.1`            | `2.0.0`            | :x: |
| `criteria_sha256` | `efd024ad9cbdf0d3` | `efd024ad9cbdf0d3` | :white_check_mark: |
| `gates_sha256`    | `8b1a77669c9ab78e` | `4c57d515bd3fa9d1` | :x: |
exit=1

Pass case — same shell, corrected profile:

| `version`         | `2.0.1`            | `2.0.1`            | :white_check_mark: |
| `criteria_sha256` | `efd024ad9cbdf0d3` | `efd024ad9cbdf0d3` | :white_check_mark: |
| `gates_sha256`    | `8b1a77669c9ab78e` | `8b1a77669c9ab78e` | :white_check_mark: |
exit=0

Also verified: YAML parses (7 jobs), uses: in canon-lockstep = 0, dogfood-summary still needs canon-lockstep.

One bug caught while testing rather than after: my first draft of the footer lost the escaped backticks the original had, so bash executed canon.lock and [canon] as commands. Restored; the footer renders literally.

Merge order

This should land after standards 2.0.1 is on main — it is — and it makes the reverse direction of the binding real. Before it, the mutual binding was one-directional in practice: the canon checked the spine, but the spine's own pins were decorative.

…canon 2.0.1

Closes F8: "the spine pins gates_sha256 but no gate verifies it."

TWO STALE VALUES, FOUND BECAUSE NOTHING CHECKED THEM

Canon 2.0.1 (hyperpolymath/standards#815) moved `gates_sha256` when the criteria
paths moved to 0-canon/rsr/. This repo kept asserting the superseded values, and
no check said a word:

    pin                canon.lock asserts   this repo declared
    version            2.0.1                2.0.0
    criteria_sha256    efd024ad9cbdf0d3     efd024ad9cbdf0d3   <- in sync
    gates_sha256       8b1a77669c9ab78e     4c57d515bd3fa9d1   <- stale

That is not a coincidence of two careless values. This repo's own
rsr-profile.a2ml asserted that "these values — plural — equal canon.lock
[canon.artifacts] at the canon's head", while the job that was supposed to
enforce it compared `criteria_sha256` alone. The claim was wider than the check,
so the other two could drift indefinitely and stay invisible. A pin nothing
verifies is not a binding.

WHAT CHANGES

1. `machine-readable/rsr-profile.a2ml` re-pinned: version 2.0.0 -> 2.0.1,
   gates_sha256 -> 8b1a77669c9ab78e…. `criteria_sha256` is unchanged, which is
   correct — the criteria file is byte-identical, only its path moved.
2. The comment block above [canon] now describes what is ACTUALLY checked and by
   which job, in which direction, instead of a plural claim the code did not
   honour.
3. The `Canon lockstep` job compares version, criteria_sha256 AND gates_sha256,
   and prints a per-pin table either way.

STILL NO `uses:` IN THIS JOB

Deliberate, and it still holds: `uses:` count is 0, so this job cannot worsen
`uses ⊆ actions.lock`. Both new readers are pure awk + grep against files already
fetched — canon.lock is already at $RUNNER_TEMP from the step above, and the
profile is already fetched by SHA. No new network call.

The two readers are the same technique the canon's own check-canon-lockstep.sh
uses, so there is one idiom across both repos. `artefact_hash` joins the inline
table and greps the digest rather than assuming the sha256 sits on any particular
line of the record.

AN EMPTY READ CANNOT PASS

Six values are read. Any empty one aborts with "refusing to compare an empty
value" rather than comparing "" to "". That is the same class of failure this job
already had once — reading a file that was never there — so it is now guarded
explicitly rather than left to luck.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Canon validation now checks the version, criteria hash, and gates hash in both directions.
    • Validation fails clearly when any required value is missing or mismatched.
  • Improvements
    • Workflow summaries now provide a per-check pass/fail table for easier review.
    • Canon binding pins have been updated to version 2.0.1.
    • Supporting documentation now accurately reflects the checks performed by both validation paths.

Walkthrough

The canon profile now declares canon 2.0.1 pins. The canon-lockstep job reads version, criteria, and gates pins from both sources, rejects empty values, reports each comparison, and succeeds only when all three pairs match.

Changes

Canon lockstep validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update canon profile pins
machine-readable/rsr-profile.a2ml
The [canon] block updates the version and gates hash to canon 2.0.1. The comment documents the three-pin checks.
Validate canon pins in CI
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The job extracts both pin sets, rejects empty values, writes per-row results, and succeeds only when all three pairs match. The comment uses the literal ⊆ character.

Correct the bidirectional verification claim.

Gate A assertion 3 reads and compares only the spine’s criteria_sha256. It does not compare the spine’s version or gates_sha256. The reverse job compares all three values. Update line 77 to describe these checks accurately.

validates criteria_sha256, version, and gates_sha256. Remove the inaccurate
claim that all three values are checked from both directions.

…s, finish banner dedup, unbreak the mint path, align Deno policy (#105)

Batch from the 2026-09-17 issue triage. Four independently reviewable
commits, rebased clean onto `750f0fe` — the #103/#104 lockstep work is
untouched (verified: both this branch's edits and #104's coexist in
`dogfood-gate.yml`).

## 1. `fix(ci)`: resolve committed merge-conflict markers in
push-email-notify.yml

**Unfiled critical defect.** PR #100 (`f7527ed`) committed a *nested,
unresolved three-way conflict* into
`.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml` (lines 43–51). The file has
not been valid YAML since; the workflow has **failed on every push to
main** (witness: run at 2026-09-17T17:52, `conclusion=failure`). Both
sides carried the same ref (`smtp-notify-action@v0.3.0`); resolved to
the single pre-corruption line from `b80b3dd`, with the NOSONAR pin
citation synced to `actions.lock`'s current value (`sha1-22e7bdb3…` —
the committed comment cited the pre-bump `sha1-ede1191e…`, stale since
`e8764e7`). The #58/#73 guards around the damage are preserved intact.

## 2. `fix(ci)`: finish the managed-by banner de-duplication across all
workflows

#56 item 2 flagged `scorecard.yml`; #101 de-duplicated exactly one file
(`dogfood-gate.yml`). The defect spans **24 of 36 workflows** (2–3
identical banners each; `scorecard.yml` and `quality.yml` had three).
Mechanical de-dup keeping the first occurrence; all 36 re-verified to
parse. Root cause worth a follow-up: the lockfile inserter is not
idempotent — every pass adds a line.

## 3. `fix(mint)`: repoint repo-init at the Ruby ports of the two
ex-Python scripts

#62 remainder. #80 ported `strip-instruction-blocks` /
`prune-dependabot-ecosystems` to Ruby and added
`tests/workflows/mint_cleanup_test.sh` (re-executed here under ruby
3.3.8: **PASS**), but left the mint path calling the deleted `.py`
files:

```
build/just/repo-init.just:325  python3 scripts/strip-instruction-blocks.py .
build/just/repo-init.just:340  python3 scripts/prune-dependabot-ecosystems.py …
```

**`just repo-init` has been broken for every mint since #80.** Also
repoints the two `LEFTOVER_BLOCKS` exclusion regexes
(`repo-init.just:721`, `template_instantiation_test.sh:258`) that still
exempted the vanished `.py` path while the `.rb` port — which
necessarily contains the literal `TEMPLATE INSTRUCTIONS` marker — was
not exempted: the post-mint check would have flagged the stripping tool
itself.

## 4. `docs(policy)`: align CLAUDE.md Deno status with the closed owner
ruling (standards#655)

#70 remainder. The filed gate failure is stale (the `typescript_runtime`
regex no longer matches `CLAUDE.md` — re-verified), but `CLAUDE.md`
still said "Deno (**grandfathered**)" — the exact word the 2026-08-26
ruling repudiates — while this repo's own `runtime-policy.yml` enforces
"BEING REMOVED, not grandfathered (canon standards#655)". Canon-side
companion PR: hyperpolymath/standards `deno-row-655-completion` (linked
below) — **merge together**. Every fail-pattern of
`standards/tools/policy/check-language-policy.sh` re-run against the
edited `CLAUDE.md`: none fire. Same commit repoints two **dead
`.hypatia-ignore` exemptions** (`boj-build.yml` →
`build-notification.yml`; `wellknown-enforcement.yml` →
`dot-wellknown-enforcement.yml`; substring fragments could never match
the renamed files).

## Verification (local)

| check | result |
|---|---|
| 36 workflows YAML-parse | pass |
| conflict markers repo-wide | none |
| banner count per workflow | exactly 1 |
| `.py` references to the ported scripts | none |
| `tests/workflows/mint_cleanup_test.sh` (ruby 3.3.8) | PASS |
| `check-language-policy.sh` fail-patterns vs edited `CLAUDE.md` | none
fire |
| `.hypatia-ignore` fragments resolve to existing files | all |

Closes #56 (items 1 & 3 fixed earlier by #59 / `empty-linter.yml`; item
2 by commit 2 here).
Closes #62 (port + tests landed in #80; call sites and exclusions fixed
here).
Closes #70 (template side here; canon side in the standards PR; the
RSR-spec inversion and ai-instruction examples are escalated there as
owner calls).

A follow-on stacked PR (www/ site-operations bundle, #53 stages 1–4) is
based on this branch.
