the K9-specific empty-state warning, stating that no K9 contracts were found and

Restore the K9-specific empty-state warning.
This summary branch runs when K9_COUNT is zero. The new text reports missing .a2ml/.deed files instead of missing K9 contracts. Repositories with valid deeds but no K9 contracts will receive the wrong diagnosis.
Proposed correction
- :warning: **No .a2ml/.deed manifest files found.** Every RSR-compliant repo should have a repo deed (`<reponame>_chora.deed`) at its root.
+ :warning: **No K9 contracts found.** Repos with configuration files should have K9 contracts.📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Make the scorecard label match the accepted manifest formats.
The scorecard passes when find locates either *.a2ml or *.deed. This includes a repository with only the legacy 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml, which the workflow explicitly accepts during migration. The current label misrepresents that compatibility result as canonical deed compliance. Include both formats in the label, or report canonical .deed compliance separately.

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
