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 migration guidance to clarify that legacy .a2ml manifests remain accepted during the transition.
    • Added clearer warnings that repositories require a DEED manifest in the format <reponame>_chora.deed.
    • Standardised validation messages so missing manifest notices consistently refer to both .a2ml and .deed files.
    • Simplified the dogfooding scorecard label for repository deed requirements.

Walkthrough

The workflow updates DEED and K9 validation warnings. It records that the legacy 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml remains accepted during migration. It also updates the scorecard label to require <reponame>_chora.deed.

Update validation messages and scorecard
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The workflow accepts the legacy manifest during migration, requests a repo deed in validation warnings, replaces the K9-specific warning, and simplifies the scorecard label.

The workflow provides misleading compliance guidance, but the impact is limited to CI messaging and scorecard interpretation.

## 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.

Keep the K9 summary aligned with its condition.

This branch runs when K9_COUNT is zero, not when no .a2ml or .deed files exist. It therefore reports a DEED failure for repositories that only lack K9 contracts. Restore a K9-specific warning in this branch.

Describe the predicate in the scorecard label.

The predicate accepts any .a2ml or .deed file, and the workflow accepts the legacy 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml during migration. Change the label to DEED manifest (.a2ml/.deed) instead of claiming that the root <reponame>_chora.deed exists.
