fix(ci): make the dogfood gate .deed-aware - #197
Conversation
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.

- 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.

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.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
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.

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.

In @.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml at line 36, Update both default manifest
lookup lists used by Manifest::load_default and the no-path manifest command to
include 0-AI-MANIFEST.deed alongside the existing candidates, and keep the
dogfood-gate scorecard predicate aligned so repositories containing only that
DEED file are recognized.

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.shwas vendored at 13,737 bytes by commitd5f229d(2026-07-27, "ci: vendor validation scripts and remove remote action pins") — six weeks
before the 09-03 DEED rename. It contains zero
.deedreferences.Replaced with the canonical dual-accept body from
hyperpolymath/deed-ecosystem/validate-action@f9d999b6(17,544 b), which dispatches onthe DEED s-expression head —
(estate-deed|repo-deed|estate-atlas-deed|praxis-deed)on thefirst form, per
DEED-GRAMMAR-SPEC <<concrete-syntax>>— and keeps.a2mlpassing aslegacy. This repo's own
SPDX-License-Identifierline is preserved, not overwritten.2. 🚨 The step that gates that validator counted only
*.a2mlOn a repo that had migrated to
.deed,COUNTwould be 0, the validate step would beskipped, 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.a2mland to runa2mliser init. Reworded to name.deedas the format to author,.a2mlas 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):

It is behaviour-neutral today.
find A -o Bis a strict superset offind A, and0 of 75 repos carry a
.deedfile, soCOUNTis unchanged on every repo in thepopulation. The change is purely forward-correct: it stops the gate going silently green
the day a repo migrates.
Verification

.a2mlfile is renamed. Extension migration is explicitly held pending a dry-runmanifest (19,477 tracked
.a2mlvs 15.deed).# validate-a2ml.sh — A2ML manifest validation script. Left byte-identical to upstreamon purpose, so "is this repo at canonical?" stays answerable by md5. Flagged for an
upstream fix in
