chore(hooks): complete the A2ML retirement — delete dead validate-a2ml.sh + catalog truth (R-H3) - #854
Conversation
…l.sh, correct catalog (R-H3) The A2ML manifests gate was removed from pre-commit/pre-push on 2026-09-15 by owner ruling R-H3, with the reasons documented in the hook comments: A2ML no longer exists as a format; the script (written 2026-09-12, after the DEED rename ruling) greps manifest syntax the live s-expression .deed grammar does not have; it passed 0 of 222 tracked .a2ml files, so it blocked every commit through the hook, and repairing the regex would turn all 222 red at once. R-H2: a grammar-faithful .deed validator returns once wired (the dual-accept deed-ecosystem/validate-action and the #849 conformance-lane validator are the live implementations). What remained was the dead script itself and catalog lines 179-180 still advertising 'A2ML/K9 validation' — retired here. No wiring references the script any more (grep of install.sh/uninstall.sh/hooks/ setup.sh/Justfile: clean). Prose mentions in scorecards and 1-formats/deed/README.adoc are historical record — deliberately left.

Completes your own R-H3 ruling: the A2ML retirement, minus the corpse.
Your hook comments (2026-09-15, R-H3) already removed the A2ML manifests gate from
pre-commit/pre-pushand documented exactly why: A2ML no longer exists as a format;validate-a2ml.shgreps manifest syntax the live s-expression.deedgrammar doesn't have; it passed 0 of 222 tracked files, blocking every commit through the hook; repairing the regex would turn all 222 red at once. R-H2 says a grammar-faithful validator returns once wired — and the live implementations exist (dual-acceptdeed-ecosystem/validate-action, pushed today; the #849 conformance-lane validator).What was left behind:
.githooks/validate-a2ml.sh— deleted. Unwired dead code since R-H3 (verified: no reference ininstall.sh,uninstall.sh,hooks/,setup.sh,Justfile).CICD-WORKFLOW-CATALOG.mdlines 179–180 still advertised "A2ML/K9 validation" / "full validation: A2ML, K9, …" — corrected to the post-R-H3 reality with the ruling referenced.Deliberately untouched: prose mentions in
.machine_readable/scorecards/*.a2mland1-formats/deed/README.adoc("Fact 1 — the only runnable gate cannot read a deed") — those are historical record of why R-H3 happened, not live plumbing. The 223.a2mldata files remain under the #64 extension-migration campaign (validator scans both extensions until it completes). Companion PR in rsr-template-repo replaces its pinned pre-commit provider (hyperpolymath/a2ml-pre-commit— now deleted upstream, so the config is broken plumbing) with a local dual-accept hook.
