… ADR-0016) ADR-0016 (Agent-Card#39) made displayName OPTIONAL on Catalog Entry; the prose, the Level-1 conformance definition, and the ADR all agree, but the normative CDDL still listed displayName: text as required. This aligns the CDDL. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The normative CDDL schema (§CDDL Schema,
CatalogEntry) still listsdisplayName: textas required, but ADR-0016 (#39) madedisplayNameoptional — and the prose (§Catalog Entry, §"Resolving an Artifact's Display Name") plus the Level-1 (Minimal) conformance definition already treat it as optional. The CDDL is the lone holdout, so it currently contradicts them.One-line fix:
Without it, a CDDL-only validator rejects otherwise-conformant entries that omit
displayName— e.g. when the referenced artifact self-names (an A2A Agent Card / MCP Server Card), which ADR-0016 explicitly recommends. Publisher'sdisplayNameis left required, unchanged.— Assisted by Claude (Opus 4.8) · Approved by James Wolfe (@Wolfe-Jam)
