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.

The guard counted `.a2ml` files only, so a repo carrying just a `.deed` document was told it had
no manifest at all:

  - find \. -name '\*\.a2ml' -not -path '\./\.git/\*'
  + find . -type f \( -name '*.a2ml' -o -name '*.deed' \) -not -path './.git/*'

The validator already reads both grammars; the caller's predicate was the bug. Wording follows the
estate's own migrated copy and `deed-ecosystem/README.adoc`: `.deed` is final, `.a2ml` is legacy and
no longer authored, and the template bootstraps with `just repo-init` (so the `a2mliser init`
instruction is removed). Retained `.machine_readable/*.a2ml` inputs are untouched.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated Dogfood Gate warning messages and scorecard wording to use the <repo>_chora.deed naming convention.
    • Replaced references to the legacy 0-AI-MANIFEST.deed filename.
    • Detection, validation and scoring behaviour remain unchanged.

Walkthrough

The workflow updates three DEED-related messages to use <repo>_chora.deed under standards#837. Detection, validation, and scoring logic remain unchanged.

Use DEED_STATUS in the scorecard row.

The dogfood-summary job assigns DEED_STATUS, but it never assigns A2ML_STATUS. The current row therefore expands an unset variable and can leave the DEED status cell empty.
