fix(ci): make the dogfood gate .deed-aware - #99
Merged
Merged
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.

In @.githooks/validate-a2ml.sh:
- Line 274: The machine-readable path case currently marks all matching files as
structural, incorrectly exempting .deed files from DEED identity and
schema-version validation. Update the is_structural_identity logic in the
path-matching branch to exempt only legacy .a2ml documents, while preserving the
existing structural handling for those documents and ensuring .deed files
undergo both checks.
In @.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml:
- Line 251: Update the DEED manifest scorecard row and its presence check so the
displayed label matches the accepted formats: either restrict this DEED-specific
check to .deed files or explicitly mention legacy .a2ml manifests in the row
label. Apply the same correction to the corresponding check near the second
referenced location.
- Around line 35-38: Update the manifest-counting find command in the workflow
to include only regular files while retaining the existing .a2ml/.deed name
filters and .git exclusion, so directories such as example.deed do not count as
manifests.

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.

Make the AI-manifest scorecard depend on validation.
a2ml-validate writes its validation outputs and exits with status 1 when it finds errors. The scorecard job runs with if: always() and checks only whether a .a2ml or .deed file exists. It does not consume the validator result, so an invalid manifest can receive a passing scorecard point.
Expose the validator step output and require successful validation for this row, or report presence and validity as separate results.

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):
*.a2mldeedat all.deedfile atorigin/main8f61f8da/ MPL-2.0echidna— 13,747 b /c1769fc4/ AGPL-3.0-or-laterWhy edit 2 is safe
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
bash -non the new validator: clean.python3 -c 'yaml.safe_load(...)'on the edited workflow: parses.before any write — and refuses (skips + flags) on any mismatch rather than overwriting an
unrecognised file.
