fix(gates): gate on the DEED grammar, per the template and standards#837 - #558
Conversation
Mirrors `rsr-template-repo/.github/workflows/deed-validate.yml` and standards#837 step 4. No `.a2ml` document is translated and no retained-input gate is touched.

- Line 27: Update the workflow labels associated with the validation job named
“Validate DEED manifests” so its step label “Check for A2ML files,”
manifest-validation label, and summary “A2ML Validation” consistently use the
intended “DEED and legacy A2ML” terminology.
- Line 125: Update the K9 summary branch that handles K9_COUNT equal to zero so
it reports the absence of K9 contracts rather than missing .a2ml/.deed manifests
or recommending a repo deed. Keep the DEED warning in the DEED job unchanged and
use the existing K9 summary context and formatting.
- Line 42: Update both DEED detection checks in the workflow to match only the
accepted root manifest names: the repository’s documented <reponame>_chora.deed
and legacy assail-classifications.a2ml, excluding nested or unrelated files.
Preserve the existing count and validation behavior for other A2ML files.

Align the remaining validation labels with the new job label.
The job is now labelled Validate DEED manifests, but its steps and summaries still say A2ML (Check for A2ML files, Validate A2ML manifests, and A2ML Validation). This gives the Checks UI and step summary conflicting terminology. Use DEED and legacy A2ML consistently, or update all affected labels to the intended wording.

Restrict DEED detection to the repository deed path.
The DEED contract requires a root <reponame>_chora.deed. Both find checks match any *.deed below the repository root, so a nested fixture or unrelated deed can enable validation and award the scorecard point. Restrict both checks to the accepted root manifest names, including the documented legacy .a2ml name.

Restore the K9 warning in the K9 summary.
This branch runs when K9_COUNT is zero, but the new text reports missing .a2ml/.deed files and recommends a repo deed. A repository with no K9 contracts will receive an incorrect summary. Keep the DEED warning in the DEED job and restore a K9-specific message here.

Why
The guard in
dogfood-gate.ymlcounted.a2mlfiles only:so a repo whose manifest is written in the current grammar is reported as having none, and the
summary/compliance row is skipped by the same predicate (
if find . -name '*.a2ml' ... | grep -q .).The validator itself has scanned both grammars for a while -- the caller's predicate is the bug.
Authority
rsr-template-repo/.github/workflows/deed-validate.yml(the mint source) is what this wording iscopied from, byte for byte, including
-type f-freefindand the dual-accept stance.standards#837— "DEED conversion campaign", campaign step 4: *"flip ... RSR gates from.a2mlpresence to
.deedpresence alongside". Gate predicates, not document contents.deed-ecosystem/README.adoc: "The DEED format name and.deedextension are final, not A2ML."Deliberately not done
.a2mlfile is translated or renamed. #837 makes classification into the four DEED forms andper-family mapping specs a prerequisite for mass translation; that is not this PR.
