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

  • Bug Fixes
    • Validation now recognises both DEED and legacy A2ML manifest formats.
    • Repository checks now identify DEED manifests as the preferred format while continuing to accept A2ML files.
    • Updated validation summaries, scoring guidance and warnings to accurately reflect manifest status.

Walkthrough

The dogfood workflow now recognises .deed and legacy .a2ml manifests. It updates validation warnings, summary counts, and scorecard labels to use DEED terminology.

Changes

Manifest validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
DEED manifest discovery and validation messaging
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The validation job checks .deed and .a2ml files. Warnings and summaries identify DEED files and retain legacy A2ML support.
Scorecard DEED requirement
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The scorecard accepts either manifest format and labels the requirement as a DEED repository deed.

The workflow can mis-score repositories or provide misleading compliance guidance; both issues are localized and should be corrected before relying on the gate.

root-level *_chora.deed file, while leaving recursive *.a2ml matching unchanged.
Apply the same root-level restriction to the manifest check and scorecard check
so nested DEED files cannot satisfy either condition.

say “No K9 contracts found” and include the existing generation command

Restrict DEED detection to the repository root.

The checks at lines 38 and 326 match any *.deed below ., so a nested file can satisfy the manifest check and scorecard without meeting the required root-level <reponame>_chora.deed contract. Keep recursive .a2ml matching unchanged, but make both DEED checks accept only a root-level *_chora.deed.
