Cause, quoted from the runner

Using locked action versions from the workflow's lockfile
##[error]Unable to resolve action `hyperpolymath/a2ml-ecosystem`: the repository has been
renamed or transferred. Run `gh actions-lock` to update the lockfile.

.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml therefore has never run on this repo: the job dies in Set up job, the run reports
failure with zero usable steps and no annotation, and nothing in the repo's UI says why.

Fix

Two lines: actions.lock keys hyperpolymath/deed-ecosystem@main and the uses: line
names the canonical slug. Verified before writing: deed-ecosystem/main/validate-action/action.yml
-> 200, so the action exists and the gate is worth keeping.

Deliberately not done

  • Not deleting the a2ml-validate job. In standards the removal was correct because that step
    called secrets-check-action, a path that exists at no commit in that repo; here the path is
    real, so re-keying is the fix and deleting would drop a working check.
  • Not touching .a2ml manifest prose or the missing-manifest warnings: that is the A2ML
    language, not the renamed repository.
  • No gh actions-lock run: it rewrites unrelated workflow bytes (symbolic ./ refs, header
    comments) and this repo's lock needs exactly one slug changed.

Found by the estate ghost-app audit (2026-09-21), which measured 17 repos in this class.

The runner refuses to start .github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml: "Unable to resolve action `hyperpolymath/a2ml-ecosystem`: the repository
has been renamed or transferred. Run `gh actions-lock` to update the lockfile." The action
itself resolves (raw.githubusercontent returns 200 for the old slug by following the rename);
what fails is that GitHub resolves the caller to the canonical repo and then looks for THAT
slug in this repo's actions.lock, which still keys hyperpolymath/a2ml-ecosystem@main. Re-keying the entry (and the
uses: line, so lock and workflow agree without relying on the redirect) restores the gate.

Untouched: every other a2ml string here (.a2ml manifests, the a2ml-validate job name,
the missing-manifest warnings) is A2ML-language tooling, not a renamed repository.
