fix(ci): make the dogfood gate .deed-aware - #51
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 350: Update the DEED validation logic that uses is_structural_identity so
structural location only exempts the identity-field requirement. Ensure every
.deed candidate, including files under machine-readable or .machine_readable,
still requires and validates the :schema-version field.

- Line 309: Update the manifest scorecard row label in the workflow from “DEED

preserving the existing detection of both .a2ml and .deed files.

37-37: LGTM!Also applies to: 50-52
Structural location under machine-readable/ or .machine_readable/ exempts a file from the IDENTITY requirement only. It must still declare a version: dropping is_structural_identity from the version check stops that check passing vacuously for every file in those trees. Proven by mutant -- a .deed with a canonical-name and no schema-version now warns, and did not before. Warnings do not fail the job, so ATLAS.deed (which carries :registry-version and legitimately no :schema-version) is unaffected. The gate now accepts both formats, so its own prose must not name only one: the step summary says "manifest file(s)" and the scorecard row is the format-neutral "A2ML/DEED manifest".

.githooks/validate-a2ml.sh (1)
174-175: 🎯 Functional CorrectnessThe cited patterns are line-anchored, so they would miss keywords that follow other tokens on the same line. However,
.githooks/validate-a2ml.shdoes not establish whether DEED keyword fields may use that compact layout, and the checkout contains no DEED grammar or fixture that defines it. The reported validation failure therefore cannot be decided.
Scope the version-check tightening to *.deed: legacy *.a2ml keeps its structural-identity exemption, which is what the review asked for. Add -type f so a directory named foo.deed cannot be counted as a manifest. The gate accepts both formats, so its summary line and scorecard row now name both rather than only one.

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.
echidnais handled by the same assert, which is what prevented ablanket copy from silently relicensing it AGPL-3.0-or-later → MPL-2.0.
no a2ml-only
findsurvived.origin/maininboth
a2ml-ecosystemanddeed-ecosystem; 14 repos / 725.a2mlfiles producedidentical exit codes under old and new validators, with a planted positive and negative.
Not changed here
strictstaysfalse. Flipping it is a separate, measured decision: 8 of 10 sampledrepos go rc=0 → rc=1.
.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
deed-ecosystem, where it corrects once for every consumer.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
