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
    • Updated validation and scorecard messages to reference the current Deed manifest format.
    • Removed outdated references to legacy .a2ml manifests.
    • Clarified warnings shown when Deed manifests or K9 contracts are not detected.

Walkthrough

The workflow updates DEED manifest warnings in two validation jobs and removes legacy .a2ml fallback references from the scorecard. Job logic, triggers, and permissions remain unchanged.

Changes

DEED manifest messaging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow message alignment
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The workflow warnings and scorecard now identify <reponame>_chora.deed as the repository manifest. The legacy .a2ml annotation and fallback references are removed.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8ef3e

The workflow can misdiagnose missing K9 contracts and report inaccurate DEED compliance status; these are limited reporting issues that should be corrected before relying on the checks.

## 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.

Restore the K9-specific warning.

When K9_COUNT is zero, this branch reports missing DEED manifests, although the job validates K9 contracts. Repositories with configuration files but no .k9 files will receive the wrong diagnosis. Restore a K9-specific message, such as No K9 contract files found.

Align the scorecard label with the detection predicate.

The predicate accepts any nested .a2ml or .deed file, but the row claims that a root <reponame>_chora.deed is present. A legacy .a2ml file or nested .deed file can therefore produce a false-positive scorecard status. If legacy files remain valid during migration, update the row to describe the accepted formats; otherwise, tighten the predicate to require the root repo deed.
