fix(scripts): repoint checks at the .adoc files that exist - #75
Conversation
The .md -> .adoc documentation migration moved these files but never updated
the scripts that READ them, so every check naming a .md has been operating on
a file that no longer exists.
Repointed: SECURITY.md->SECURITY.adoc
Three failure modes were in play across the estate, all fixed by the same
change:
* hard fail - 'check "X.md exists" "[ -f X.md ]"' can never pass
* wrong score - '[ -f X.md ] && ((doc_score++))' silently scores lower
* SILENT SKIP - 'if [ -f X.md ]; then ...greps... fi' skips the whole block,
so the checks inside never run and the gate reports success
by not checking at all
Human-readable labels are repointed too, so failure messages name the file that
is actually inspected. Where a script did 'git add ... X.md', that is fixed as
well - it would have failed at release time.
Only tokens whose .adoc twin exists in this repository were rewritten; anything
without a twin was left untouched for separate triage.
Found by an estate-wide sweep of 454 repos: 56 such checks across 18 repos.
Same defect class as hyperpolymath/Axiom.jl#82.

Pull Request Overview
The PR updates the repository maintenance scripts to recognize SECURITY.adoc instead of the legacy .md file. While the intent is met, the implementation in tests/validate_structure.sh relies on a brittle shorthand conditional (&& ... || ...) which is flagged by ShellCheck as unreliable. If the success logging command fails, the script will incorrectly execute the failure branch.
Codacy analysis indicates the PR is not currently up to standards. There is also a gap in verification, as no automated test scenarios were found to validate that the script correctly passes with the new file or fails appropriately when it is missing.
Test suggestions
- Verify tests/validate_structure.sh passes when SECURITY.adoc is present in the root directory.
- Verify tests/validate_structure.sh fails with the correct error message when SECURITY.adoc is missing.
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify tests/validate_structure.sh passes when SECURITY.adoc is present in the root directory.
2. Verify tests/validate_structure.sh fails with the correct error message when SECURITY.adoc is missing.

Two defect classes, both verified empirically rather than inferred.
1. '[ cond ] && pass || fail' is NOT if/then/else.
If the 'pass' branch returns non-zero, the 'fail' branch ALSO runs --
even though the condition was true. Demonstrated:
pass() { echo ran; return 1; }
[ -n yes ] && pass || fail
-> BOTH pass() and fail() execute
Rewritten as explicit if/then/else.
2. '((var++))' dies under 'set -e' when the counter is 0.
Post-increment returns the OLD value as its exit status, so the first
increment of a zero counter exits 1 and 'set -e' terminates the
script. Demonstrated:
set -e; score=0; ((score++)); echo reached
-> script DIES before 'reached'; works fine from 1 onward
That is precisely the first-document case a compliance script hits on
every run. Rewritten as 'var=$((var + 1))'.
Both classes are the same underlying trap as the duplicate-branch bug
already fixed on asdf-tool-plugins#70 and developer-ecosystem#191:
shell shorthand that reads like control flow but is not.

Synchronise security-policy path checks.
tests/validate_structure.sh accepts root SECURITY.adoc, but .gitlab-ci.yml checks docs/SECURITY.md and .machine_readable/contractiles/Mustfile.a2ml checks SECURITY.md. Both .md paths are absent, so these checks can fail after this script passes. Update the consumers to SECURITY.adoc, or add the .md files if all paths are intentional.
