What breaks today

dogfood-gate.yml counts .a2ml files and nothing else, so a repo whose only manifest is a
.deed document gets ::warning::No .a2ml manifest files found, and the summary step is
skipped by the same predicate. The gate is checking for a grammar the estate has deprecated.

Authority for the new wording

  • deed-ecosystem/README.adoc: "The DEED format name and .deed extension are final, not A2ML."
  • rsr-template-repo ships rsr-template-repo_chora.deed and bootstraps with just repo-init;
    the removed a2mliser init instruction points at neither.
  • hyperpolymath/accessibility-everywhere already carries this exact migrated form, so this PR
    converges a stale copy rather than introducing a new convention.

Deliberately not touched

  • .machine_readable/*.a2ml and any gate reading a real retained file: their own README scopes
    the rename away from "retained A2ML v1 material". Rewriting those inputs would fail gates that
    currently pass.
  • validate-a2ml.sh hook filenames and the validator's own Validate A2ML Manifests step name
    (names, not grammars).

Part of the estate-wide .deed gate migration, 2026-09-21.

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.
