Update the validator to process .deed files. The workflow counts .deed files, then runs .github/hooks/validate-a2ml.sh. The hook only discovers and validates .a2ml files, so a repository containing only <reponame>_chora.deed can enter validation with no deed file checked.

Restrict the repository deed check to the canonical root file.
The workflow defines the required deed as <reponame>_chora.deed at the repository root. Both predicates at lines 34 and 314 accept any .deed at any depth, so a nested or differently named fixture can produce a false manifest result and scorecard point. Keep the existing *.a2ml rule, but match ./${GITHUB_REPOSITORY##*/}_chora.deed as a root file at both sites.
This is a minor detection and scorecard error, not a major gate failure. The zero-count branch only emits a warning, and validate-a2ml.sh scans .a2ml files only.

Restore the K9-specific warning.
This branch is controlled by K9_COUNT, but the summary reports a missing .a2ml/.deed manifest. A repository with a valid deed and no K9 contract will receive an incorrect warning. Report the missing .k9 or .k9.ncl contract in this branch.

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
-type f-freefindand the dual-accept stance.standards#837— "DEED conversion campaign", campaign step 4: *"flip ... RSR gates from.a2mlpresence to
.deedpresence alongside". Gate predicates, not document contents.deed-ecosystem/README.adoc: "The DEED format name and.deedextension are final, not A2ML."Deliberately not done
.a2mlfile is translated or renamed. #837 makes classification into the four DEED forms andper-family mapping specs a prerequisite for mass translation; that is not this PR.
