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.sh was vendored at 13,737 bytes by commit d5f229d
(2026-07-27, "ci: vendor validation scripts and remove remote action pins") — six weeks
before the 09-03 DEED rename. It contains zero .deed references.

Replaced with the canonical dual-accept body from
hyperpolymath/deed-ecosystem/validate-action @ f9d999b6 (17,544 b), which dispatches on
the DEED s-expression head — (estate-deed|repo-deed|estate-atlas-deed|praxis-deed) on the
first form, per DEED-GRAMMAR-SPEC <<concrete-syntax>> — and keeps .a2ml passing as
legacy
. This repo's own SPDX-License-Identifier line is preserved, not overwritten.

2. 🚨 The step that gates that validator counted only *.a2ml

COUNT=$(find . -name '*.a2ml' -not -path './.git/*' | wc -l)
- name: Validate A2ML manifests
  if: steps.detect.outputs.count > 0      # <- the actual gate
  run: bash .githooks/validate-a2ml.sh

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. 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.a2ml and to run
a2mliser init. Reworded to name .deed as the format to author, .a2ml as 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):

property count
detect step counts only *.a2ml 75 / 75
workflow mentions deed at all 0 / 75
carry any .deed file at origin/main 0 / 75
validator at 13,737 b / md5 8f61f8da / MPL-2.0 74
echidna — 13,747 b / c1769fc4 / AGPL-3.0-or-later 1

Why edit 2 is safe

It is behaviour-neutral today. find A -o B is a strict superset of find A, and
0 of 75 repos carry a .deed file, so COUNT is unchanged on every repo in the
population. The change is purely forward-correct: it stops the gate going silently green
the day a repo migrates.

Verification

  • bash -n on the new validator: clean.
  • python3 -c 'yaml.safe_load(...)' on the edited workflow: parses.
  • The sweep asserts its own precondition per repo — exact size and md5 and SPDX
    before any write — and refuses (skips + flags) on any mismatch rather than overwriting an
    unrecognised file. echidna is handled by the same assert, which is what prevented a
    blanket copy from silently relicensing it AGPL-3.0-or-later → MPL-2.0.
  • Post-edit asserts: the restored SPDX line is present, the widened selector is present, and
    no a2ml-only find survived.
  • Upstream regression evidence: the 17,544-byte body is already merged on origin/main in
    both a2ml-ecosystem and deed-ecosystem; 14 repos / 725 .a2ml files produced
    identical exit codes under old and new validators, with a planted positive and negative.

Not changed here

  • strict stays false. Flipping it is a separate, measured decision: 8 of 10 sampled
    repos go rc=0 → rc=1.
  • No .a2ml file is renamed. Extension migration is explicitly held pending a dry-run
    manifest (19,477 tracked .a2ml vs 15 .deed).
  • The canonical validator's own line 5 still reads
    # validate-a2ml.sh — A2ML manifest validation script. Left byte-identical to upstream
    on purpose, so "is this repo at canonical?" stays answerable by md5. Flagged for an
    upstream fix in deed-ecosystem
    , where it corrects once for every consumer.

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.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Validation now supports both .deed and .a2ml manifest files.
    • .deed manifests support DEED identity formats and require a :schema-version.
    • AI manifest exemptions and structural identity checks now cover supported manifest locations.
  • Improvements

    • .deed is now the canonical manifest format, while .a2ml remains supported as a legacy format.
    • Workflow checks, status messages, discovery, and no-file handling now recognise both extensions.
    • Unnecessary attestation warnings are suppressed for exempt AI manifests.

Walkthrough

The validator now supports .deed and .a2ml files. It recognises DEED identity and schema forms, updates exemptions, and expands discovery. The dogfood workflow presents 0-AI-MANIFEST.deed as canonical while retaining .a2ml support.

Changes

DEED manifest support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validator support
.githooks/validate-a2ml.sh
The validator recognises approved DEED heads and identity keywords. It requires :schema-version for DEED files and keeps :registry-version separate. It scans both extensions, expands structural exemptions, and suppresses selected AI-manifest attestation warnings.
Dogfood workflow integration
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The workflow detects both extensions. It identifies 0-AI-MANIFEST.deed as canonical, marks .a2ml as legacy, and updates the scorecard checks and label.

In @.githooks/validate-a2ml.sh:
- Line 274: Update the structural-identity exemption in validate_a2ml so it
matches only legacy .a2ml files, not .deed candidates under machine-readable or
.machine_readable directories; ensure DEED identity and :schema-version
validation still runs for every .deed file.

In @.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml:
- Line 252: The manifest check and its scorecard label are inconsistent: the
check accepts both .a2ml and .deed files while the row reports the required
0-AI-MANIFEST.deed. Update the workflow checks near the manifest status entries
to either restrict detection to *.deed or relabel the row to clearly indicate
acceptance of canonical .deed and legacy .a2ml files, keeping the displayed
status aligned with the actual validation.
- Around line 52-54: Update the manifest requirements in CONTRIBUTING.adoc to
make 0-AI-MANIFEST.deed the required canonical manifest, and document that
AI.a2ml is supported only for legacy validation and is no longer authored.

Comment thread .githooks/validate-a2ml.sh
Comment thread .github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
Comment thread .github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml Outdated
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.

present, and use it in the final validation condition for .deed files. Preserve
has_version for generic .a2ml validation and retain the existing structural

279-279: Do not exempt .deed identity fields under the machine tree.

is_structural_identity still exempts every file under machine-readable/ and .machine_readable/, including .deed files. A deed in either directory can omit its DEED identity form and pass the identity check. This is the same unresolved issue raised in the previous review.


7-7: LGTM!

Also applies to: 92-92, 126-126, 154-176, 325-325

298-298: Keep the scorecard label aligned with its predicate.

The predicate at Line 252 accepts any regular *.deed or *.a2ml file. The row names 0-AI-MANIFEST.deed, so other.deed receives the canonical-manifest status. Either check the exact canonical path or label the row as accepting *.deed and legacy *.a2ml files. This is the same mismatch raised in the previous review.


39-39: LGTM!

Do not let contractile exemptions bypass DEED validation.

validate_a2ml() scans both .a2ml and .deed files. A matching @... directive sets is_contractile_shape=true without checking the extension. The line 289 condition then skips the missing-version warning for a .deed file without :schema-version. The validator can therefore accept the file without the required DEED schema version.

Restrict is_contractile_shape to legacy .a2ml files, or require :schema-version for every .deed file.

ensure .deed files always require :schema-version; preserve the existing
exemption behavior for eligible .a2ml files while preventing the condition at
line 289 from skipping DEED validation.

Require :schema-version for .deed files.

validate_a2ml sets the shared has_version flag for version = "1.0" and schema_version = "1.0". The final version check uses this flag for .deed files, and no later DEED-specific check rejects those fields. The .deed extension only disables the structural exemption.

Track a DEED-specific schema flag and use it for .deed files. Keep the generic flag for .a2ml validation.

Add 0-AI-MANIFEST.deed to both default manifest lookups.

The workflow accepts a repository containing only 0-AI-MANIFEST.deed, but Manifest::load_default and the no-path manifest command check only 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml and AI.a2ml. The application therefore falls back to the default manifest instead of loading the DEED file. Manifest::load already accepts paths independently of their extension, so add the DEED candidate to both lookup lists and keep the scorecard predicate aligned.
