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

  • New Features

    • Repository validation now recognises both .a2ml and .deed formats.
    • Validation summaries include either supported format when confirming the repository deed requirement.
    • Dogfooding checks now accept either extension for the manifest check.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected the K9 no-contract warning summary so it displays the appropriate message.

Walkthrough

The workflow now accepts .deed and legacy .a2ml files for manifest validation and scorecard checks. It updates related messages and labels. The K9 empty-result summary now shows the A2ML/DEED warning text.

Changes

DEED manifest checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validation detection and reporting
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The validation job detects .deed and .a2ml files. It reports the repository deed requirement and scanned files.
Scorecard manifest requirement
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The scorecard accepts either extension and labels the requirement as a DEED repository deed.

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 737b6

DEED-only repositories can appear validated without their manifests being checked, and missing K9 contracts receive incorrect guidance. Correct both before merging.

The description explains the motivation, authority, scope, and excluded changes. It does not follow the repository template because it omits the required Summary, Changes, RSR Quality Checklist, and Testing sections. It also provides no test results.

warning reports missing .k9/.k9.ncl contracts instead of .a2ml/.deed manifest
files, while preserving the existing “k9iser generate .” instruction.

Validate .deed files in the validation hook.

When COUNT is greater than zero, the workflow invokes .github/hooks/validate-a2ml.sh. The hook discovers only *.a2ml files. A repository containing only a .deed file therefore reaches the hook, finds no files, and exits successfully without validation. Include *.deed in the hook discovery and use a validator that supports DEED files, or call a DEED-aware validator.

## 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 warning in the K9 summary.

This branch runs when K9_COUNT is zero, but the message reports missing .a2ml/.deed files. Report missing .k9/.k9.ncl contracts instead. Keep the existing k9iser generate . instruction.
