When a top-level OKF field is supplied through a YAML merge (for example, parameters: &p {generated: invalid} followed by <<: *p), decoding resolves generated into Document.Map, but this raw-node scan only examines explicit key/value pairs and therefore skips its validation. In the strict profile, malformed merged generated, verified, or stale_after metadata can consequently pass validation; the lookup should account for merge nodes or validate against a merge-resolved representation while retaining lexical scalar access.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Addressed the merge-key review: lookup now matches yaml.v3 plain, long-tag, and explicit non-specific merge tags using the original key node; quoted and aliased keys remain ordinary keys. Added regression fixtures. Final head: 33980ff. |

OKF Open Knowledge Format v0.2 spec stale_after field allowed value format date or datetime
💡 Result:
The Open Knowledge Format (OKF) v0.2 specification requires that the stale_after field be formatted as an ISO 8601 datetime with an explicit UTC offset (e.g., 2026-09-23T00:00:00Z) [1][2][3]. While earlier iterations of the v0.2 spec or related tooling may have accepted or used bare YYYY-MM-DD dates [3][4][5], the current authoritative standard dictates the use of a full datetime string with a time-of-day component and a UTC offset [3][5]. This requirement ensures consistency and avoids ambiguity regarding staleness across different time zones [3][5]. Conforming consumers are instructed to reject values that do not include both the T separator and an explicit offset [3][4][5].

Enforce UTC in event timestamp validation
validUTCDateTime accepts non-zero offsets because time.Parse(time.RFC3339, value) accepts them. Thus generated.at, verified.at, and provenance.at can accept non-UTC values despite their UTC requirements. Require a zero parsed offset. Keep validStaleAfter RFC3339 offset-tolerant; the OKF fixture uses +01:00, and the specification does not require bare date acceptance.

offset, rejecting non-zero offsets for event timestamps. Leave validStaleAfter

The OKF vocabulary validators move to a deep okf module returning neutral violations; fm keeps profile policy (strict=error, daybook=warning) and maps them onto findings. Timestamp messages now say what OKF SPEC §5 actually requires — an RFC3339 datetime with an explicit UTC offset, any offset, not only zero — resolving CodeRabbit's merge-risk note as incorrect: the validator behavior already matched the spec, the wording did not. Nonzero-offset acceptance is pinned by tests at the okf boundary. fm's token ratchet holds via the split (11,593 -> 8,952 with a new 3,692-token okf module); fm's ceiling rises to 9,000 with the reason recorded in modules.budget. Master reconciled through e0076fd.

Accept date-form stale_after values.
validTimestamp rejects YYYY-MM-DD, so this condition reports stale_after_format for an accepted date-form value. Daybook notes get an unnecessary warning. Strict validation rejects otherwise valid frontmatter. Use a stale_after validator that accepts RFC3339 datetimes or 2006-01-02. Keep event timestamps RFC3339-only.
Proposed fix
- if scalar && validTimestamp(value) {
+ if scalar && validStaleAfter(value) {
return nil
}func validStaleAfter(value string) bool {
if validTimestamp(value) {
return true
}
_, err := time.Parse("2006-01-02", value)
return err == nil

LevelPolicy's strict branch completed the floor keys so key_missing cannot mask the OKF finding, and now asserts the contract error is a promoted OKF violation via ContractFinding (mutation-checked: the masking variant fails with Rule:key_missing). modules.budget states the actual 8100 -> 9000 raise reason: residual fm-owned profile wiring after the okf split.

The audit comment cited the superseded 9000 ceiling and a stale 9,113 measurement; it now records the real raise (8100 -> 9200), the proven 9,057, and the coverage that justifies it.

9977499)CodeRabbit's merge-risk note — "accepts non-UTC offsets ... even though these fields require UTC" — is incorrect, and is resolved as such: OKF v0.2 SPEC §5 (GoogleCloudPlatform/open-knowledge-format) states "Every timestamp-valued key in OKF is an ISO 8601 datetime with an explicit UTC offset." Any explicit offset conforms; offset zero is one valid spelling, not the only one. The PR's own valid

Validator behavior therefore did not change; the misleadingvalidUTCDateTimehelper was renamedvalidTimestampand the generated/verified/provenance messages reworded to the spec's phrasing, with nonzero-offset acceptance pinned by new tests at the okf boundary.The red

2026-12-31) is not a datetime with an offset, and its rejection is pre-existing behavior at33980ff, unchanged by this repair.Process disclosure: one intermediate gate run was piped through
tail, which masked a budget failure before a push; every gate since was run unpiped with its exit code checked, and each pushed head's proof was re-established.Head: dbdfd00
