fix(canon): verify all three pins, not just criteria — and re-pin to canon 2.0.1 - #104
Conversation
…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 This repo kept asserting the superseded values, and no check said a word: pin canon.lock asserts this repo declared version 2.0.1 2.0.0 criteria_sha256 efd024ad9cbdf0d3 efd024ad9cbdf0d3 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. WITNESSES Negative control, this repo's shell run against the live canon at main: | `version` | `2.0.1` | `2.0.0` | ❌ | | `criteria_sha256` | `efd024ad9cbdf0d3` | `efd024ad9cbdf0d3` | ✅ | | `gates_sha256` | `8b1a77669c9ab78e` | `4c57d515bd3fa9d1` | ❌ | exit=1 Pass case, same shell against the corrected profile: | `version` | `2.0.1` | `2.0.1` | ✅ | | `criteria_sha256` | `efd024ad9cbdf0d3` | `efd024ad9cbdf0d3` | ✅ | | `gates_sha256` | `8b1a77669c9ab78e` | `8b1a77669c9ab78e` | ✅ | 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.

A description to state that the forward check compares only the spine’s
criteria_sha256, while the reverse check validates criteria_sha256, version, and
gates_sha256. Remove the inaccurate claim that all three values are checked from
both directions.

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.

bidirectional verification comment near the Gate A description to state that the
forward check compares only the spine’s criteria_sha256, while the reverse check
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. --------- Co-authored-by: Arena Agent (triage patches) <arena-agent@arena.ai>




Closes F8 in
hyperpolymath/standards docs/AUDIT.adoc: "the spine pinsgates_sha256but no gate verifies it."Two stale values, found because nothing checked them
Canon 2.0.1 (standards#815) moved
gates_sha256when the criteria paths moved to0-canon/rsr/. This repo kept asserting the superseded values, and no check said a word:version2.0.12.0.0criteria_sha256efd024ad9cbdf0d3efd024ad9cbdf0d3gates_sha2568b1a77669c9ab78e4c57d515bd3fa9d1That isn't two careless values. This repo's own
rsr-profile.a2mlasserted that "these values" — plural — equalcanon.lock [canon.artifacts]at the canon's head, while the job meant to enforce it comparedcriteria_sha256alone. 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
machine-readable/rsr-profile.a2ml:version2.0.0 → 2.0.1,gates_sha256→8b1a77669c9a….criteria_sha256is unchanged, which is correct — the criteria file is byte-identical; only its path moved.[canon]now describes what is actually checked, by which job, in which direction.Canon lockstepjob compares version, criteria_sha256 and gates_sha256, and prints a per-pin table either way.Still no
uses:in this jobDeliberate, and it holds:
uses:count is 0, so this job still cannot worsenuses ⊆ actions.lock. Both new readers are pureawk+grepagainst files already fetched —canon.lockis already at$RUNNER_TEMPfrom 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.shuses, so there's one idiom across both repos.artefact_hashjoins the inline table and greps the digest rather than assuming thesha256sits 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:Pass case — same shell, corrected profile:
Also verified: YAML parses (7 jobs),
uses:incanon-lockstep= 0,dogfood-summarystill needscanon-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

This should land after
standards2.0.1 is onmain— 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.
