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

  • Chores
    • Updated validation messaging to refer to DEED manifests and repository deeds.
    • Clarified guidance shown when required manifests are missing, including support for legacy .a2ml manifests.
    • Standardised missing-contract messaging across validation checks for a more consistent experience.

Walkthrough

The workflow now uses DEED terminology for A2ML validation, recommends root repo deeds, and retains legacy .a2ml support. The K9 summary now displays the DEED missing-manifest warning instead of K9-specific contract guidance.

Changes

DEED validation workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validation job messages
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The A2ML job label and warnings now reference DEED manifests and <reponame>_chora.deed. The messages retain legacy 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml support and reference standards issue 837. The K9 summary now uses the A2ML/DEED missing-manifest warning.

🟡 Minor · Align the scorecard with the repo-deed wording. · dogfood-gate.yml:390

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Align the scorecard with the repo-deed wording.

The workflow summary recommends <reponame>_chora.deed, but the scorecard still advertises 0-AI-MANIFEST.deed. A run can therefore show two different filename requirements. The detection step already accepts both .a2ml and .deed.

Proposed wording update
-          | AI manifest (0-AI-MANIFEST.deed, or legacy .a2ml) | ${A2ML_STATUS} | Required for all RSR repos |
+          | Repo deed (&lt;reponame&gt;_chora.deed, or legacy .a2ml) | ${A2ML_STATUS} | Required for all RSR repos |
