Why

The guard in dogfood-gate.yml counted .a2ml files only:

COUNT=$(find . -name '*.a2ml' -not -path './.git/*' | wc -l)

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 is
    copied from, byte for byte, including -type f-free find and the dual-accept stance.
  • standards#837 — "DEED conversion campaign", campaign step 4: *"flip ... RSR gates from .a2ml
    presence to .deed presence alongside". Gate predicates, not document contents.
  • deed-ecosystem/README.adoc: "The DEED format name and .deed extension are final, not A2ML."

Deliberately not done

  • No .a2ml file is translated or renamed. #837 makes classification into the four DEED forms and
    per-family mapping specs a prerequisite for mass translation; that is not this PR.
  • No gate that reads a retained file is touched (CLAIMS.a2ml, .machine_readable/Debtfile.a2ml,
    contractiles/INDEX.a2ml); rewriting those would fail gates that currently pass.
  • No job-id or shell-var renames (a2ml-validate, A2ML_COUNT): they are referenced from needs:
    and ${{ needs.*.outputs }}. The Checks-UI label is updated, as it has no references.

Estate-wide .deed gate convergence, 2026-09-21. Script: estate-audit/engine/deed_gate_migration.py.

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.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated validation messages to reflect the DEED manifest format.
    • Missing-manifest guidance now references .a2ml and .deed files, including the repository deed naming convention.
    • Scorecard wording now identifies the repository deed without legacy terminology.
    • Validation summaries provide consistent DEED manifest guidance across relevant checks.

Walkthrough

The workflow messages now describe .a2ml/.deed manifest files and <reponame>_chora.deed repository deeds. The scorecard uses the updated DEED terminology.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validation and scorecard messages
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The workflow updates missing-manifest messages, replaces the no-K9-files summary with the DEED manifest message, and labels the scorecard entry as the DEED repository deed.

The workflow can show a misleading DEED warning for repositories that only lack K9 contracts; restore the K9-specific message before merge.

## K9 Contract Validation

:warning: **No K9 contract files found.** Repos with configuration files should have K9 contracts.
:warning: **No .a2ml/.deed manifest files found.** Every RSR-compliant repo should have a repo deed (`<reponame>_chora.deed`) at its root.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Restore the K9-specific summary.

This branch is controlled by K9_COUNT, but the new text reports missing .a2ml/.deed manifests. A repository with a DEED manifest and no K9 files will receive a false DEED warning. Restore the K9 contract message here.

Proposed fix
-          :warning: **No .a2ml/.deed manifest files found.** Every RSR-compliant repo should have a repo deed (`<reponame>_chora.deed`) at its root.
+          :warning: **No K9 contract files found.** Repos with configuration files should have K9 contracts.
