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.
