report that no K9 contracts were found, rather than claiming that .a2ml or .deed

the “k9iser generate .” instruction.

Check for the required root manifest.
The recursive find command accepts any nested .a2ml or .deed file. It can therefore suppress the warning and report success when the required root <reponame>_chora.deed and root 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml are both absent. Apply the same root-only predicate to the scorecard check at line 238; it currently repeats the same defect.
Match ${GITHUB_REPOSITORY##*/}_chora.deed or 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml at the repository root.

Restore the K9-specific summary message.
This branch runs when K9_COUNT is zero. The new text says that no .a2ml/.deed manifests exist, which is false when configuration files exist but K9 contracts are missing. It also conflicts with the K9 warning and the k9iser generate . instruction below. Keep this message K9-specific.

Check the required root repo deed in the scorecard.
The predicate matches any .deed file under the repository. The row now claims that the required root <reponame>_chora.deed exists. A nested or unrelated .deed file can therefore set A2ML_STATUS to :white_check_mark: while the required root deed is missing. Use an explicit root/name check for this criterion, or label it as generic DEED manifest presence.

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
