Align the A2ML guidance with the required manifest contract. The checked-in contract requires root 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml as a critical file. DEED validation does not replace this presence requirement. The current messages call the AI manifest legacy and recommend only <reponame>_chora.deed, so a repository can follow the guidance and still fail the contract. Update both messages to name 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml as required, and mention the DEED file only when the repository's DEED requirements apply.
Suggested wording
- echo "::warning::No .a2ml/.deed manifest files found. Every RSR repo should have a repo deed (<reponame>_chora.deed); legacy 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml accepted mid-migration — standards `#837`"
+ echo "::warning::No .a2ml/.deed manifest files found. Every RSR repo must have the required root 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml. If the repository uses DEED, also add <reponame>_chora.deed."

Restore the K9 missing-contract message.
When K9_COUNT is zero, this branch reports a missing .a2ml/.deed manifest instead of a missing K9 contract. This contradicts the k9iser generate . instruction on the next line and hides the K9 validation result. Restore a K9-specific warning 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 contracts found.** Generate contracts with `k9iser generate .`.📝 Committable suggestion

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.
