Executes MIGRATION-1058 M3 (issue #C) from 1-formats/k9/spec/MIGRATION-1058.adoc. Relates to #1058.

A template is not a component — it is never loaded.

Changes

  • template-{hunt,kennel,yard}.k9.ncl → template-*.k9.ncl.in (git mv, history preserved). The TODO placeholders stay, because they are the point of a template. .in is outside every scope that reads *.k9 / *.k9.ncl as a loadable component: the pre-commit hook (is_k9), the corpus walk (git ls-files -- '*.k9' '*.k9.ncl') and CI's Nickel pathspec (*.ncl). Each template header states the ruling.
  • examples/setup-repo.k9.ncl keeps its component suffix and was fixed as a component:
    • capabilities = ["net.fetch", "fs.write", "process.spawn"] — the grant now pays for all three allow_* flags (§8.4, K9-S007);
    • side_effects names what each recipe actually does (§6.5, K9-S010);
    • a signature block is present (§10.1, K9-S009), with a header saying, per §10.2, that presence is not verification.
  • Ledger shrunk 17 → 13: the four M3 entries removed. Removal is mandatory — the ratchet fails a stale entry.
  • References repointed: svc/k9/README.adoc, .machine_readable/contractiles/{README.adoc,INDEX.a2ml}, 1-formats/contractiles/CANONICAL-TEMPLATES.adoc, docs/CONTRACTILE-SPEC.adoc, K9-CONTRACT-SPEC.adoc §6.2, the k9_contract.ncl comment, the L1-K9-S003 fixture provenance note, and an amendment note in docs/ADR-001. MIGRATION-1058.adoc records the resolution.
  • REGISTRY.a2ml regenerated via just registry (required — 1-formats/k9/ is a registered spec home). This also refreshes three source_hash values already stale on main (k9, axel, form-fill-provenance; reproduced on a pristine worktree of a41f369 before any change here).

Verification

k9-validate.sh --self-test                             → all assertions passed
k9-validate.sh --fixtures 1-formats/k9/tools/fixtures  → 5 positive, 21 negative, 0 failures
k9-validate.sh --layer L1 <the four svc/k9 components> → 4 conforming
.githooks/validate-k9.sh (staged = this change set)    → 1 conforming, 0 grandfathered, exit 0
scripts/build-registry.sh --check                      → in sync

L2 needs nickel; this sandbox cannot fetch it (release host TLS-refused — the same limitation MIGRATION-1058 documents), so L2 stays CI-side. The new setup-repo fields mirror the shapes of the already-L2-verified fixtures/valid/hunt-fully-granted.k9.ncl.

Pre-existing red, not from this PR

The full corpus hook still exits 1 on eight files this change does not touch: the six contractiles (dangling ../k9/template-hunt.k9.ncl import — M1/#A) and 2-protocols/axel/config/{ci,metadata}.k9.ncl (K9-S001 — M4/#D). The ledger never covered them and is shrink-only, so this PR leaves them exactly as found.

MIGRATION-1058 M3 (standards#1058, issue #C). A template is never loaded, so
it must not claim the reserved `.k9.ncl` component suffix. The three trust-tier
templates keep their TODO placeholders — that is the point of a template — and
become `template-*.k9.ncl.in`, outside every scope that reads `*.k9`/`*.k9.ncl`
as a loadable component (the pre-commit hook, the corpus walk, CI's Nickel
pathspec).

`setup-repo.k9.ncl` keeps the suffix because it IS a component, and is fixed
as one: its grant pays for all three security flags (`net.fetch`, `fs.write`,
`process.spawn` — K9-S007/§8.4), `side_effects` names what the recipes
actually do (K9-S010/§6.5), and a `signature` block is present
(K9-S009/§10.1) whose header says, per §10.2, that presence is not
verification.

- ledger: 17 → 13 — the four M3 entries removed, shrink-only ratchet intact
- docs repointed: svc/k9 README, contractiles README + INDEX.a2ml, canonical
  templates, CONTRACTILE-SPEC, K9-CONTRACT-SPEC, ADR-001 amendment note
- REGISTRY.a2ml regenerated with `just registry` (also refreshes three hashes
  already stale on main: 1-formats/k9, 2-protocols/axel, form-fill-provenance)

Verified: --self-test passes; --fixtures 5 positive / 21 negative / 0
failures; L1 clean on the four svc/k9 components; the hook is green for this
change set (1 conforming, 0 grandfathered). The corpus hook still exits 1 on
the pre-existing contractile (#A) and axel (#D) failures, untouched here.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified that K9 trust-tier templates are located with the K9 service examples and are not loadable components.
    • Added instructions for copying templates, completing all placeholders and validating the resulting component.
    • Documented the example setup component’s declared capabilities, side effects and unverified signature.
  • Chores
    • Updated registry records and reduced the tracked K9 contract-debt entries from 17 to 13.

Walkthrough

The K9 templates now reside under svc/k9 with a .k9.ncl.in suffix. Documentation describes template instantiation and validation. The setup example and related migration records now reflect K9 capability, side-effect, and signature requirements.

Changes

K9 templates and component contract

Layer / File(s) Summary
Relocate and document K9 templates
1-formats/contractiles/CANONICAL-TEMPLATES.adoc, .machine_readable/contractiles/*, .machine_readable/svc/k9/*, 1-formats/k9/spec/*, 1-formats/k9/tools/fixtures/invalid/*, docs/ADR-001-k9-relocation-to-svc.adoc, docs/CONTRACTILE-SPEC.adoc, .machine_readable/REGISTRY.a2ml
Template references now use the svc/k9 location and .k9.ncl.in suffix. The documentation describes copying templates, completing TODO placeholders, and validating the resulting component. Registry source hashes are updated.
Update setup example and resolution
.machine_readable/svc/k9/examples/setup-repo.k9.ncl, .machine_readable/k9-contract-debt.txt, 1-formats/k9/spec/MIGRATION-1058.adoc
The setup example declares capabilities and side effects and includes an unverified signature example. The migration record notes the contract changes and remaining CI-side items. Four ledger entries are removed, reducing the recorded count from 17 to 13.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: joshuajewell

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5f019

The remaining issues are limited to contract metadata and stale documentation references; they should receive bounded follow-up, but no newly introduced runtime or security failure is established.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5f019

The template suffix strengthens the separation between templates and executable components. The setup example’s operations are unchanged, and its placeholder signature does not authorize execution. Actual host enforcement of verification and approval remains unproven.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — If a host authorizes this example, its visible effects reach the current working directory, repository-local Git configuration, outbound licence retrieval and child processes under the executing identity. The source describes full-system access but does not establish a deployed tenant boundary or additional service privileges. These command effects are unchanged by this PR.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The validator reports missing external verification as skipped and Present_Unverified, explicitly stating that this does not authorize Hunt. Non-strict validation can nevertheless return success with skipped checks. This behavior predates the PR; the available evidence does not establish an execution caller that incorrectly treats that status as authorization, nor prove that every caller rejects it.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The existing checkpoint recipe performs separate overwrites, and clean deletes fixed filenames without recording ownership or restoring prior contents. Partial execution can therefore leave mixed local state. The PR does not change these transitions; host enforcement of interruption handling, authorization invalidation after mutation, and recovery remains outside the established evidence.

A rabbit found templates in a new burrow,
With .in on the name and clear steps to follow.
It copied, filled TODOs, then checked each line,
The K9 example declared its effects in kind.
“Unverified,” said the signature, “replace me before use.”
The rabbit hopped off with a tidy K9 queue.

Pre-existing CI reds, verified against the base commit a41f369 — not caused by this PR:

Check Evidence
Call CI Pipeline / Nickel The base commit's Nickel check-run carries the identical annotation: 1-formats/k9/spec/contract/k9_contract.ncl fails nickel format --check. This PR touches that file's comment text only; the file and the failure are unchanged. (Nickel was not obtainable in the authoring sandbox — the release host is TLS-refused — so nickel format could not be run locally.)
Call CI Pipeline / Haskell, Pipeline report, governance / Validate Hypatia Baseline, scan / Hypatia Neurosymbolic Analysis All failing on a41f369 in the same way.
actions.lock is in sync with the workflow YAML, governance / Workflow security linter This diff contains no .github/** changes — the lock/workflow pair this checks is untouched.
K9-SVC contractile validation Its corpus step fails on exactly the eight files in its own posted report: six contractiles (M1/#A) and 2-protocols/axel/config/{ci,metadata}.k9.ncl (M4/#D). Reproduced on the untouched base tree before any edit; none are files this PR touches, and the ledger is shrink-only so they were never covered.

The parts this PR is responsible for are green: self-test, conformance fixtures (5 positive / 21 negative, with Nickel installed), Registry + topology in sync, Check Documentation Format, Repo self-tests, and the local hook with this change set staged (1 conforming, 0 grandfathered).

[NOTE]
====
Amendment 2026-10-05 (standards#1058, MIGRATION-1058 M3): the three templates
now carry the `.in` suffix — `template-kennel.k9.ncl.in`,
`template-yard.k9.ncl.in`, `template-hunt.k9.ncl.in`. A template is not a
component and is never loaded, so it does not claim the reserved `.k9.ncl`
suffix. The tree above is otherwise unchanged.

The amendment note contradicts the directory tree above it.

The tree at lines 70–72 still lists template-*.k9.ncl. The note says the tree is otherwise unchanged. A reader sees the old names first. Update the tree to the .k9.ncl.in names.

----

k9 is deliberately NOT in this tree any more. ADR-001 (accepted 2026-04-18)
moved it to `.machine_readable/svc/k9/` estate-wide: no verb directory, no
exception. The `k9/` entry is kept as a signpost only.

Remove k9 from the contractile registry.

The diagram identifies k9 as a signpost, but INDEX.a2ml still lists it in [[verbs]] with status = "exception". Consumers are told to read this registry to discover verbs. ADR-001 requires it to contain only six verbs and no exceptions.

Review comment at @docs/CONTRACTILE-SPEC.adoc around lines 176 - 181:
Update the contractile registry documentation around the tree diagram to
describe the registry as containing only six verbs, with no k9 exception. Remove
references to k9 as a registry entry or exception while retaining its relocated
service path as a signpost, and align the registry description and listed status
fields with that scope.

Remove k9 from INDEX.a2ml verb registry (now only 6 verbs, no exceptions).
Update README.adoc and CONTRACTILE-SPEC.adoc to reflect k9 relocation to
.machine_readable/svc/k9/ estate-wide. Rename [[k9-exception]] anchor to
[[k9-relocation]] for clarity.

Addresses CodeRabbit review comment on PR #1148 lines +176-+181.

Signed-off-by: Mistral Vibe <vibe@mistral.ai>
Resolve merge conflicts by accepting main branch changes:
- Remove k9 exception from contractile registry (INDEX.a2ml)
- Update README.adoc to reflect k9 relocation
- Update CONTRACTILE-SPEC.adoc tree diagram and registry description
- Fix subpath pin in codeql-reusable.yml (init@ → @)

These changes align with ADR-001 which relocated k9 to .machine_readable/svc/k9/
and removes it from the contractile verb registry.
This fixes the merge conflict by accepting the main branch's removal of k9
exception from the contractile registry, per ADR-001.

- INDEX.a2ml: k9 removed from [[verbs]] section
- README.adoc: Updated to reflect k9 relocation to .machine_readable/svc/k9/
- CONTRACTILE-SPEC.adoc: Updated tree diagram and registry description
- codeql-reusable.yml: Fixed subpath pin (init@ → @)
Resolve conflicts by accepting main branch changes for:
- REGISTRY.a2ml (hash updates from #1151, #1149)
- k9-contract-debt.txt (ledger updates)
- k9_contract.ncl (template file references)

This incorporates all changes from main into the PR branch.
