1. Purpose

Tracks absolute-zero’s conformance to the hyperpolymath estate-wide Rhodium Standard Repository (RSR) taxonomy, as defined by hyperpolymath/rsr-template-repo.

For the RSR taxonomy itself (what the template prescribes), see docs/RSR_OUTLINE.adoc.

2. Compliance summary (as of 2026-05-25)

Category	Status	Notes
Root file hygiene	✅ Passing	Root reduced from 30 .md/.adoc/*.txt files to 7 canonical ones in the 2026-05-25 tidy. Stray AI.a2ml / AI.djot consolidated into 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml.
RSR directory layout	🟡 Partial	Have: .github/, .machine_readable/, .well-known/, docs/, examples/, scripts/, src/, tests/, tools/, verification/, proofs/ (multi-prover), interpreters/, papers/, ffi/, fuzz/, homepage/, wasm/, elm/, data/, css/, license/, contractiles/, build/ (gitignored). Missing: .devcontainer/, benches/, container/ (consolidate Containerfile into a dir), features/, session/.
Machine-readable artefacts	✅ Passing	.machine_readable/descriptiles/{STATE,META,ECOSYSTEM,AGENTIC,NEUROSYM,PLAYBOOK}.a2ml + legacy .scm siblings during migration window.
0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml	✅ Passing	Created 2026-05-25 (was missing; legacy AI.a2ml + AI.djot deleted).
AUDIT.adoc	✅ Passing	Created 2026-05-25; tracks open + resolved audit items by ID.
.well-known/{security,ai,humans}.txt	✅ Passing	Created 2026-05-25 per RFC-9116 (security.txt) and humanstxt.org.
Language policy	🟡 Partial	CLAUDE.adoc ban list enforced for new code via .github/workflows/language-policy.yml. Banned-language examples/ (go, java, kotlin, swift, ruby, perl) deleted 2026-05-25.
Workflow security	❌ Failing (in progress)	Hypatia surfaces 14 unpinned action SHAs across governance.yml, jekyll-gh-pages.yml, language-policy.yml, etc. Followup PR will pin all to commit SHAs.
Test directory	🟡 Partial	tests/ exists but is empty (placeholder). Hypatia "no_tests" finding will clear once at least one test file lands. Existing test coverage lives under proofs/ (multi-prover verification), fuzz/, and ReScript test runners in interpreters/rescript/.
License headers	🟡 Mostly passing	All new files (2026-05-25 batch) have SPDX-License-Identifier PMPL-1.0-or-later. A repo-wide SPDX sweep remains open.
Container reproducibility	🟡 Partial	Containerfile exists at root; guix.scm planned per RSR template.

3. Migration roadmap

1. Done 2026-05-25: root tidy, doc consolidation, archive of dated artefacts, 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml, AUDIT.adoc, .well-known/, strict banned-language sweep.

2. Next: pin action SHAs across workflows (Hypatia workflow_audit findings); add guix.scm; populate tests/ with at least a smoke test; create container/ dir and move Containerfile in.

3. Later: .devcontainer/, benches/, features/, session/ per full RSR taxonomy. Each as a separate small PR.
