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 warnings to reference both .a2ml and .deed manifest files.
    • Added guidance for the recommended repository deed naming convention.
    • Clarified that legacy 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml files remain accepted during migration.
    • Deprecated-file checks now detect both .a2ml and .deed files.
    • Applied consistent manifest and deed guidance to K9 validation summaries.

Walkthrough

The workflow updates manifest warning text, documents legacy .a2ml acceptance, recommends a repository deed, and detects both .a2ml and .deed files.

Changes

Manifest warning alignment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow warning updates
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
Validation warnings now reference .a2ml/.deed files and <reponame>_chora.deed. Legacy 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml acceptance is noted, and deprecated-file detection matches both extensions.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to d7997

The current repository deed makes this workflow fail, while legacy manifests can skip validation. Correct these predicates and restore the K9-specific message before merging.

Count both manifest extensions.

COUNT includes only *.deed, but the warning and gate refer to both .a2ml and .deed. A repository containing only 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml therefore gets a false warning, and steps.detect.outputs.count > 0 remains false, so validation is skipped. Use the same .a2ml and .deed file set for COUNT, the validation condition, and the summary.

Restrict the deprecated-file check to non-legacy .a2ml files.

The find command matches every *.deed file. This repository contains panoply_chora.deed, so the step prints the deprecated-file error and exits with status 1. If present, 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml would also fail the check, although the warning states that this file is accepted during migration.

## 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.

Keep the K9 summary tied to K9 validation.

Line 104 is shown when K9_COUNT is zero. It now reports that no .a2ml/.deed manifest files exist. A repository can have manifests and still have no K9 contracts, so this summary reports the wrong cause. Restore the K9-specific warning or add a separate manifest predicate.
