Make the K9 negative control a recognised K9 contract.
The pinned validator skips .k9.ncl files without a K9 marker or pedigree signal. Therefore, line 53 can make the K9 action succeed, and line 75 fails without testing K9 rejection.
Add K9! and a pedigree block, then set leash to an invalid level.
Proposed fix
- printf '%s\n' 'invalid manifest' > "$root/bad-k9/control.k9.ncl"
+ printf '%s\n' 'K9!' '# SPDX-License-Identifier: MPL-2.0' 'pedigree = {' ' metadata = { name = "ci-negative", version = "1.0.0" },' ' security = { leash = invalid },' '}' > "$root/bad-k9/control.k9.ncl"The next workflow run should then set steps.bad-k9.outcome to failure.

…king (#43) GitHub cannot unpack the K9 action repository because four symlinks point outside the repository to the former standards monorepo's `_shared` tree. This fails consumers before the validation action starts, including Hypatia and cicd-suite. Materialize the four existing shared files from the canonical standards source as ordinary files, retaining their content and licence headers. Add a repository-archive link check and controls that reject dangling and escaping links while accepting internal links. Validation: K9 validator regression tests pass; archive-link positive/negative controls pass; all links in the repaired checkout pass. Consumer CI will additionally verify that GitHub can unpack and execute the action from this commit.

…king (#6) Fraying PR #65 passed gh actions-lock verification but GitHub rejected startup because the nested K9 SHA reference had no matching runtime lock entry. Align nested validator refs with the native locked references, and onboard the suite self-tests and estate audit to GitHub action locking. The same composite gate now exercises valid A2ML/K9 fixtures and deliberate failures with runtime lock enforcement active. Full authoritative lock verification passes for all four workflows. This follows #5 and preserves real validator failures.
1 participant
The manifest gate printed success while its parser invocation was commented out. Invoke the maintained, immutable-pinned A2ML/DEED and K9 validation actions instead, including discovery of
.k9.nclfiles, and expose path/strict inputs.Describe the action as structural validation. Executable Nickel evaluation and proof checking remain separate capabilities.
Validation: workflow passes actionlint. CI now runs the composite against valid manifests and deliberately invalid A2ML and K9 manifests, and requires both invalid controls to fail. The existing gate-control tests remain enabled.
