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

  • Documentation
    • Updated workflow messages to reference .a2ml/.deed manifests and the required <reponame>_chora.deed repository deed.
    • Clarified dogfooding scorecard labelling for the required repository deed.
    • Aligned zero-manifest warnings across validation checks with the updated terminology.

Walkthrough

The dogfood-gate workflow updates DEED and K9 warning messages to reference .a2ml/.deed files and the required repo deed. The DEED scorecard row now uses the repo deed label.

Changes

Dogfood gate message updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validation warning text
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The DEED and K9 validation warnings now reference .a2ml/.deed files and the required <reponame>_chora.deed repo deed. The DEED warning no longer says that a2ml is retired.
DEED scorecard label
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The scorecard row now labels the required artefact as DEED repo deed.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5b21a

The gate can show an incorrect K9 remediation message and a green repo-deed scorecard row when only a nested legacy manifest exists. Correct the messages and align the scorecard predicate or label before merging.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Make DEED_STATUS check the named root repo deed.

The predicate searches the entire repository for any .a2ml or .deed file. A nested legacy .machine_readable/6a2/0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml can therefore set DEED_STATUS to compliant when <reponame>_chora.deed is absent from the repository root. Make the predicate check the named root artifact, or change the label to describe any manifest.

## K9 Contract Validation

:warning: **No K9 contract files found.** Repos with configuration files should have K9 contracts.
:warning: **No .a2ml/.deed manifest files found.** Every RSR-compliant repo should have a repo deed (`<reponame>_chora.deed`) at its root.

Keep the K9 summary specific to K9 contracts.

K9_COUNT == 0 controls this branch, but the new text claims that no .a2ml/.deed manifest files were found. A repository can contain a valid DEED file and still have no K9 contract. Restore K9-specific wording so the summary identifies the actual failure.
