fix(deed): grammar files come together — one normative deed.abnf (#837 ruling) - #856
Conversation
…ruling) Owner ruling 2026-09-19: 'get them to come together'. The two grammar files were already diagnosed (their own NOTICE blocks cite #837): the v1.0.0 revision sat under a typo'd .anbf extension, and the v0.1.0 DRAFT archive was misnamed deed.abnf_v1.0. - spec/abnf/deed.anbf -> spec/abnf/deed.abnf (sole normative grammar; the rename also heals the long-dead '../abnf/deed.abnf' links in the v0.1 spec and IANA registration filename) - spec/abnf/deed.abnf_v1.0 -> spec/abnf/archive/deed.abnf_v0.1.0-draft (true version in the name; its only extra rule version-field is superseded — v1.0.0 folds :schema-version into 'field' with the exactly-once side condition) - all references follow: README.adoc + DEED-GRAMMAR-SPEC.adoc (normative note rewritten to the post-ruling state, links, references section), mappings/README + clade-to-repo-deed ('until the ruling' phrasing retired), tools/README + deed_lint.py docstring, IANA registration path prefix corrected (deed/spec -> 1-formats/deed/spec) Residual check: zero deed.anbf refs; the only deed.abnf_v1.0 mention is the historical 'previously misnamed' prose in the new NOTE.

declaration: remove the extra closing parenthesis, and replace the fragment with
a complete sentence stating that the owner ruling designates this file as the
v0.1 draft archive.
In `@1-formats/deed/spec/abnf/deed.abnf`:
- Around line 8-13: The canonical grammar and conformance prose disagree on
schema-version placement and separator/symbol characters. Update the form
production and its exactly-once side condition so :schema-version is required as
the first field after the document head, remove underscore from symbol, and
allow tab separators; synchronize the corresponding normative specification text
with these rules.

Align the canonical grammar and the conformance contract before publication.
The form production allows :schema-version in any field position, but the specification requires it to be the first field after the document head. The grammar also permits _ in symbol and excludes tab separators, while the specification defines _ as invalid and tabs as valid separators.
The grammar's side condition requires :schema-version exactly once, but it does not enforce its position. It does not reconcile these mismatches. Select one acceptance contract and update the grammar and normative prose to match it.

In `@1-formats/deed/spec/abnf/deed.abnf` around lines 8 - 13, The canonical
grammar and conformance prose disagree on schema-version placement and
separator/symbol characters. Update the form production and its exactly-once
side condition so :schema-version is required as the first field after the
document head, remove underscore from symbol, and allow tab separators;
synchronize the corresponding normative specification text with these rules.

Your ruling executed: the grammar files have come together.
The two ABNF files already self-diagnosed the mess in their NOTICE blocks (both cite #837): the v1.0.0 revision sat under a typo'd
.anbfextension, and the v0.1.0 DRAFT archive was misnameddeed.abnf_v1.0. Now:spec/abnf/deed.anbf→spec/abnf/deed.abnf— the sole normative grammar. The rename also heals the long-dead../abnf/deed.abnflinks the campaign flagged (v0.1 spec doc ×4, IANA registration filename ×2 — its path prefixdeed/spec→1-formats/deed/speccorrected in the same pass)spec/abnf/deed.abnf_v1.0→spec/abnf/archive/deed.abnf_v0.1.0-draft— true version in the name. Its only extra rule (version-field) is superseded: v1.0.0 folds:schema-versionintofieldwith the "exactly once" side condition — so nothing of the draft is lost and one file is lawdeed_lint.pydocstringResidual check: zero
deed.anbfrefs anywhere; the soledeed.abnf_v1.0mention is the historical "previously misnamed" prose. 9 files, +39/−44. This clears #837's grammar-hygiene hazards 1 and 2; hazard 4 (dispatch-ordering in validators) stays with the validator work.
