Why

SD004 (lib/rules/structural_drift.ex) flags A2ML descriptiles in a retired location (.machine_readable/6a2/, .machine_readable/, the repo root) at severity: :critical. The static-analysis gate in minted repos counts every critical as a "critical security issue" and blocks the merge. So every repository still on the old layout is blocked.

Example: hyperpolymath/system-et's Hypatia neurosymbolic scan (run 42844907079) printed Hypatia found 6 critical security issue(s), blocking merge. All 6 were SD004, one per .machine_readable/6a2/*.a2ml.

These files are not unsafe. The rule's advice also predates the deed rulings: descriptiles are now clauses of the repo deed, and the A2ML-to-deed conversion is kyX's job (standards D312, D313).

What

  • SD004's severity changes from :critical to :medium. It is routed to rhodibot.
  • SD004 findings carry advisory: true, as WF026 and WF027 do. The structural_drift normaliser in cli.ex now keeps :advisory. Before, it dropped the flag. So hypatia scan never counts SD004 towards exit 1 at any threshold. Without this, SD004 still blocked at the CLI's default medium threshold (found by CodeRabbit).
  • The reason now says what the finding is: layout drift, not a security issue, with the current canon named.
  • Detection, action and target are unchanged, so fixers that read them behave as before.

Out of scope, for the owner: whether target should name the deed clause instead of .machine_readable/descriptiles/. That depends on fixer support and on kyX. The gate's wording ("critical security issue(s)") lives in the minted repos' static-analysis-gate.yml, not here.

Testing

  • test/structural_drift_test.exs: the 6a2 case also asserts severity == :medium, advisory == true and the new reason.
  • test/cli_test.exs: a new test runs the real normaliser on a 6a2 layout. It checks that SD004 is shown at the default threshold and is not blocking. The test fails without the normaliser change.
  • mix test (OTP 28.5.0.8, Elixir 1.19.4): 2473 tests, 0 failures, 246 excluded.

Generated by Claude Code

SD004 flags A2ML descriptiles in a retired location (.machine_readable/6a2/,
.machine_readable/, the root) at severity :critical. The static-analysis
gate that minted repos run counts every critical as a 'critical security
issue' and blocks the merge, so every repository still on the old layout
was blocked (6 findings on hyperpolymath/system-et, one per descriptile).
The files are not unsafe, and the advice was older than the deed rulings:
descriptiles are now clauses of the repo deed, converted by kyX (standards
D312, D313).

Severity becomes :medium (routed to rhodibot, not blocking) and the reason
says what it is. Detection, action and target are unchanged, so fixers that
read them behave as before. mix test: 2471 tests, 0 failures.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Misplaced A2ML descriptiles are now reported as medium-severity layout drift rather than critical findings. The finding explains the retired location and current canonical location; the suggested move and target are unchanged.

SD004 now classifies misplaced A2ML descriptiles as medium-severity layout drift. Its reason identifies the current canon. The move action and target remain unchanged. The test checks the updated severity and reason.

Changes: SD004 finding update

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update SD004 finding and test
lib/rules/structural_drift.ex, test/structural_drift_test.exs
SD004 documentation and findings now describe misplaced A2ML descriptiles as medium-severity layout drift. The test checks the medium severity and updated reason. The move action and target are unchanged.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 9ec8b

The change reclassifies misplaced A2ML descriptiles as medium-severity layout drift, and the documentation says this must not block merges. The CLI still exits non-zero for such findings at the default medium threshold, so gates that rely on the exit status can still block. This is not a regression, but the stated goal is not fully achieved. Mark SD004 advisory and add a gate test, or confirm that minted-repo gates handle it separately.

as non-blocking at --severity medium. Add a CLI gate test verifying this

Comment thread lib/rules/structural_drift.ex Resolved
At the CLI's default threshold (medium), SD004 at :medium still fell in
report_sets/2's blocking set. Mark the finding advisory: true, as WF026
and WF027 are, and keep :advisory through the structural_drift
normaliser, which dropped it. A CLI test runs the real normaliser on a
6a2 layout and asserts the finding is shown but not blocking; it fails
without the normaliser change. mix test: 2473 tests, 0 failures.
