fix(gates): require .deed, not the deprecated .a2ml - #78
Conversation
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.

Do not award the DEED score for a legacy-only repository.
The predicate matches .a2ml or .deed, so a legacy-only repository increments SCORE and displays a pass for DEED manifest (0-AI-MANIFEST.deed). Keep the combined predicate for validation, but use a .deed-only predicate for this score. If legacy files are intentionally sufficient, relabel the scorecard requirement.

What breaks today
dogfood-gate.ymlcounts.a2mlfiles and nothing else, so a repo whose only manifest is a.deeddocument gets::warning::No .a2ml manifest files found, and the summary step isskipped 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.deedextension are final, not A2ML."rsr-template-reposhipsrsr-template-repo_chora.deedand bootstraps withjust repo-init;the removed
a2mliser initinstruction points at neither.hyperpolymath/accessibility-everywherealready carries this exact migrated form, so this PRconverges a stale copy rather than introducing a new convention.
Deliberately not touched
.machine_readable/*.a2mland any gate reading a real retained file: their own README scopesthe rename away from "retained A2ML v1 material". Rewriting those inputs would fail gates that
currently pass.
