- Line 98: Update the zero-K9 branch in the workflow summary to emit a warning
specifically about missing K9 contracts or detections, rather than claiming
.a2ml/.deed manifests are absent. Leave the DEED-related warning in the
a2ml-validate summary unchanged.

Keep the K9 summary tied to K9 detection.
This branch runs when K9_COUNT is zero. It does not indicate that .a2ml or .deed files are missing. A repository can have valid DEED manifests and still reach this branch when K9 contracts are absent.
Restore a K9-specific warning here. Keep the DEED warning in the a2ml-validate summary.

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.
