fix(validate-a2ml): recognise contractile-shape A2ML files#9
Merged
Conversation
The script's identity / version check assumed every `.a2ml` file uses
TOML `key = value` form. Contractile-shape files (Trustfile.a2ml,
Intentfile.a2ml, Mustfile.a2ml, Adjustfile.a2ml, …) use `@directive:`
syntax instead — their identity lives in `@trust-level`, `@intent`,
`@abstract` etc., not in `name = "..."` / `version = "..."`. As a
result every contractile file in a consumer repo failed validation
("Missing required identity field"), blocking Dependabot PRs across
the fleet.
Detect contractile shape by the presence of any of:
@abstract, @trust-level, @trust-boundary, @trust-actions,
@trust-deny, @intent, @must, @adjust, @EnD
in the file body, then skip the manifest-style identity / version
checks (parallel to the existing `*AI-MANIFEST*` special-case for
markdown-style manifests). Attestation-block and section-heading
checks (Checks 3 and 4) remain applied — they're shape-agnostic.
Closes the validate-A2ML-manifest failures observed on every Dependabot
PR across chimichanga, gitbot-fleet, idaptik, ambientops, and more
(reported by hyperpolymath/hypatia#23 audit as `Validate A2ML manifests`
class — 10 PRs blocked at audit time).

Why
The script's identity/version check assumed every
.a2mlfile is manifest-shape (TOMLkey = value). Contractile-shape files (Trustfile.a2ml,Intentfile.a2ml, etc.) use@directive:syntax, so they have noname = .../version = ...lines and the validator emits "Missing required identity field" on every one of them.Result: every Dependabot PR across the fleet that contains contractile-shape
.a2mlfiles (chimichanga, gitbot-fleet, idaptik, ambientops, …) fails theValidate A2ML manifestscheck, blocking merge.Fix
Detect contractile shape by the presence of any of:
…in the file body, then skip the manifest-style identity / version checks. Parallel to the existing
*AI-MANIFEST*special-case for markdown-style manifests.Attestation-block and section-heading checks (Checks 3 and 4) remain applied — they're shape-agnostic.
