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.

.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml (2)

33-36: The DEED detection still bypasses DEED validation.

The workflow now counts *.deed, but .github/hooks/validate-a2ml.sh still scans only *.a2ml and exits successfully when no A2ML file exists. A repository containing only <reponame>_chora.deed can therefore pass without validation. Extend the hook to handle .deed, or remove .deed from this detection path until support exists.


94-94: LGTM!


📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Repository compliance checks now recognise the <reponame>_chora.deed format.
    • Legacy .a2ml manifests remain supported during the migration period.
    • Validation warnings, summaries and scorecards now report compliance using the DEED format.

Walkthrough

The workflow now treats <reponame>_chora.deed as the repository deed format. It still accepts legacy .a2ml files during migration. Validation messages and scorecard reporting now use DEED terminology.

Changes

DEED manifest migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Manifest validation and guidance
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The workflow detects .deed and legacy .a2ml files. Validation warnings and summaries now reference the repository deed.
Scorecard DEED reporting
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The scorecard grants credit for either file type and labels the status as a DEED repository deed.

Validate .deed files before counting them as supported manifests.

When .github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml:33 finds a .deed file, the workflow runs .github/hooks/validate-a2ml.sh. That hook discovers only *.a2ml files, then exits successfully when none are found. The workflow can therefore pass without validating the detected DEED manifest.

Extend the hook with DEED validation rules, or remove .deed from the detection condition until the hook supports it.
