What this fixes

Measured by running the validator, not by reading it. Four spec-conformant sample deeds (one per ruled head from DEED-GRAMMAR-SPEC) were fed to actions/validate/validate-a2ml.sh. Three defects:

  1. .deed was never scanned — a total gate bypass. The discovery glob matched only '*.a2ml'. A directory of conformant deeds was reported as holding nothing of interest, and the script printed "A2ML validation passed." and exited 0. Once the estate converts to .deed (#64), this gate goes green having validated nothing. Every source-level survey missed it, because greps looked at the regexes and never at the glob.
  2. Identity rejected :canonical-name. The chain tests the bare words agent[-_]id|name|project|spec_id, plus [metadata]/[scorecard] and @abstract. The deed surface uses a leading-colon keyword.
  3. Version rejected :schema-version — the pattern wants version/schema_version, underscore and no leading colon.

Authority

The identity and version clauses are exactly those prescribed by DEED-GRAMMAR-SPEC <<validator-change>> — not invented here. The glob fix is not in the spec, because the spec assumed the file was being opened at all.

Per <<identity>>, the head symbol is itself identifying, which is what lets ATLAS.deed:registry-version and legitimately no :canonical-name — pass on its head alone.

Severity is untouched — deliberately

This fork treats identity as a lint warning, per the header note on standards#435, where a2ml-ecosystem/validate-action treats the same condition as an error and exits 1. That divergence is real and predates this PR; the two forks are 237 diff lines apart with contradictory identity philosophies.

The tests here assert that a problem is flagged, not at which severity, so they hold under either policy. Reconciling the two forks is #9, and is not attempted here.

Tests

New conformance/ corpus under actions/validate/, plus a deed-conformance workflow. The workflow is deliberately bash-only: the shell validator previously had no CI coverage in this repo at all (a2ml-validation.yml exercises the Idris2 CLI instead), and a bash-only job reports on it independently of the CLI build.

The runner asserts on the discovery count, not just the exit code — exit 0 is precisely what the bug produced, so exit status alone cannot detect this class of defect.

Check Result
Four ruled heads, non-strict exit 0, 4 discovered, no errors
Four ruled heads, strict exit 0
deed-missing-head.deed identity flagged
deed-missing-version.deed flagged non-strict; non-zero under strict
Same tests vs unpatched script 5 assertions fail
Repo-wide scan, before vs after annotation-identical apart from the 6 new fixtures

CI caveat

a2ml-validation.yml, test and fuzzing are red on main for reasons unrelated to this PR: they die in ~7s at Install Idris2, because the pinned idris2-0.7.0-x86_64-linux.tar.gz asset does not exist (the download returns a 9-byte 404 body). A red check there is not caused by this commit. The new deed-conformance job avoids the toolchain entirely and should be green.

Scope

  • 0 .deed files exist in any repo today, so the glob change validates nothing new until #64 lands. Nothing goes red on merge.
  • The sibling fix for hyperpolymath/a2ml-ecosystem/validate-action (the copy with ~147 downstream duplicates) is a separate PR.

…entity/version forms

Measured by running the validator against four spec-conformant sample deeds,
one per ruled head, not by reading it. Three defects:

1. .deed was never scanned. The discovery glob matched only '*.a2ml', so a
   directory of conformant deeds was reported as having no files of interest
   and the script printed "A2ML validation passed." with exit 0. Once the
   estate converts to .deed (#64) this is a total gate bypass. Every
   source-level survey missed it because greps looked at the regexes and never
   at the glob.

2. Identity rejected :canonical-name. The identity chain tests the bare words
   agent[-_]id|name|project|spec_id, plus [metadata]/[scorecard] and @abstract;
   the deed surface uses a leading-colon keyword.

3. Version rejected :schema-version — the pattern wants version/schema_version,
   underscore and no leading colon.

The identity and version clauses are those prescribed by DEED-GRAMMAR-SPEC
<<validator-change>>; the glob is not, because the spec assumed the file was
being opened. Per <<identity>>, the head symbol itself satisfies the structural
half of identity, which is what lets ATLAS.deed — :registry-version and
legitimately no :canonical-name — pass on its head alone.

This fork's severity model is untouched: identity remains a lint WARNING here,
per the header note on standards#435, where a2ml-ecosystem/validate-action
treats it as an error. The tests assert that a problem is FLAGGED, not at which
severity, so they hold under either policy. Reconciling the two forks is #9.

The new workflow is deliberately bash-only so it reports on the shell validator
independently of the Idris2 CLI build, which is red on main for unrelated
reasons (the pinned Idris2 0.7.0 tarball does not exist).

Verified: the four heads pass strict and non-strict; both negatives are
flagged; the same tests fail 5 assertions against the unpatched script; and a
repo-wide scan is annotation-identical before and after apart from the six new
fixtures.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Validation now discovers and checks .deed files alongside .a2ml files.
    • Added recognition of deed document types, identity fields and schema versions.
  • Tests

    • Added conformance coverage for valid and invalid deed examples, including discovery and validation errors.
    • Added automated checks for deed conformance during relevant changes and on demand.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance on deed fixtures, expected outcomes and running conformance tests.

Walkthrough

The validator now discovers .deed files and checks deed-specific identity and version forms. New fixtures and a Bash test script verify valid and invalid cases. A GitHub Actions workflow runs the conformance tests.

Changes

Deed conformance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Deed discovery and validation
actions/validate/validate-a2ml.sh
The validator discovers .a2ml and .deed files. It recognises deed document heads, identity keywords, and schema version keywords.
Fixture-based conformance tests
actions/validate/conformance/run-deed-tests.sh, actions/validate/conformance/valid/*, actions/validate/conformance/invalid/*, actions/validate/conformance/README.adoc
The Bash test script validates four valid fixtures and five invalid fixtures. It checks discovery counts, annotations, and non-strict and strict exit codes.
Automated conformance execution
.github/workflows/deed-conformance.yml
The workflow runs the conformance script for relevant changes and manual dispatches.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f4479

The change expands validation to .deed files, but malformed deeds can still bypass the intended identity check, and the new CI workflow exposes unnecessary repository credentials. These issues should be addressed before merge.

…per fixture

Ports to this repo the fixes already made in a2ml-ecosystem#52, plus the
per-fixture assertions the review asked for on run-deed-tests.sh:54.

Three ways a deed passed validation without meeting the grammar. Each was
demonstrated on the parent commit first: the three new fixtures produced
rc=0 and ZERO annotations before these changes.

1. `:registry-version` satisfied the version requirement. It is optional
   atlas metadata; DEED-GRAMMAR-SPEC <<version-field>> makes
   `:schema-version` REQUIRED on all four heads. A registry-only atlas
   head passed carrying no schema version at all.

2. The AI-MANIFEST exemption matched `*AI-MANIFEST*` on any extension, so
   a .deed named that way was exempted from identity AND version. The
   exemption is for .a2ml markdown prose; narrowed to it.

3. The document head was matched anywhere in the file, so a nested or
   trailing `(estate-deed ...)` identified a document whose actual head
   was something else. The head identifies only as the FIRST form
   (<<document-forms>>).

The tests asserted only that a fixture's NAME appeared in the output, which
any annotation satisfied — a broken version check still passed. Now anchored
on severity + fixture + message, per fixture, in both modes, with a negative
control proving the anchoring does not match across annotation boundaries.

Controls run:
  - 3 new fixtures on the parent commit: rc=0, 0 annotations (bugs live)
  - the four ruled heads still validate clean under strict (rc=0)
  - repo-wide annotation SET diff: +4 (exactly the new fixtures), -0
  - suite: 20/20 assertions pass, exit 0

…lysable

Clears the SonarCloud code smells this branch introduced (shelldre:S7679
positional parameters, S7682 missing return, S7677 stderr, S1192 repeated
literal), none of which failed the quality gate but all of which are new
debt from the previous commit.

The literal-to-constant change is not only cosmetic. Substituting
$NO_IDENTITY into the negative control left it inside SINGLE quotes, where
it does not expand, so the assertion could never match and passed
vacuously — the exact failure this branch exists to remove. Requoted, then
mutation-tested: pointing that grep at a fixture which DOES carry the
diagnostic makes it fail, and fail alone (1 failure, not 17). An assertion
that cannot fail is not an assertion.

Suite: 21/21, exit 0.

Note on the remaining red: the SonarCloud quality gate fails on
new_security_rating (3 vs required 1), and its sole VULNERABILITY is
`.github/workflows/deed-conformance.yml:8` — `permissions: read-all`
should be specific (githubactions:S8234). That is a workflow file, so it
is blocked by the same missing `workflow` token scope as the two
persist-credentials findings. Everything else Sonar reports on this branch
is a code smell and the maintainability rating is A.

78-82: Complete the strict-mode fixture assertions.

The strict run does not assert Missing version or schema_version field for deed-missing-head.deed. It also does not assert No identity found for example-AI-MANIFEST.deed. Add both assertions so each non-strict warning is checked as a strict-mode error.

Two Major security findings on this workflow, both quick wins, and together
the sole cause of the branch's red SonarCloud gate (new_security_rating 3 vs
the required 1 — every other finding on the branch is a code smell and
maintainability is already A).

`permissions: read-all` (githubactions:S8234) grants every read scope that
exists — actions, packages, deployments, security events — to a job that only
reads the tree and runs a bash script. Narrowed to `contents: read`, the one
scope actually exercised.

`actions/checkout` defaults to `persist-credentials: true`, which leaves the
token in .git/config for every later step (CWE-522). No step here pushes or
uses the token, and the workflow runs on pull_request against
repository-controlled code, so the credential is exposure with no upside.

CodeRabbit flagged `@abstract` being accepted as identity in .deed files
(actions/validate/validate-a2ml.sh:142). Verified independently and widened:
`@abstract` is one of FOUR legacy A2ML surfaces the identity chain accepted
regardless of file extension.

The DEED grammar has no `=` production, no `[section]` production and no
`@abstract` directive -- its only bracket is `(`. So all four of

    key = value        name: value        [metadata]/[scorecard]      @abstract

let a .deed document satisfy identity without ever presenting one of the four
ruled heads. That is a gate bypass of exactly the kind this file already fixes
three of.

Changes:

* `is_deed` flag set from the extension before the scan loop.
* Identity OR-chain split into a deed surface (`:canonical-name`,
  `:estate-authority`, `:agent-id` -- legitimate for both .deed and .a2ml) and
  a legacy branch gated on `is_deed == false`.
* Identity diagnostic split by surface. The generic message named [metadata]
  and @abstract; told to a deed author, human or bot, that invites them to
  invent a form the grammar does not have, and an invented form is worse than
  no message. Deeds now get the four ruled heads and the three `:` fields.
  Both messages keep the substring "No identity found" so existing assertions
  still match.

Verification:

* Negative control on the parent commit proved the bug live: rc=0,
  "Found 1 .a2ml/.deed file(s)" (non-vacuous discovery), zero diagnostics.
* New negative fixture invalid/deed-abstract-identity.deed: @abstract present,
  head is NOT one of the four ruled heads.
* Suite discovery assertion 5 -> 6, two new assertions. PASS=23 FAIL=0, exit 0.
* Repo-wide annotation SET diff (not count): zero annotations dropped; the
  three apparent drops are the same files re-reported under the new deed
  wording. Net +1 is the new fixture.
