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

  • Improvements
    • Manifest validation now recognises DEED repository manifests using .deed files, while continuing to support legacy .a2ml files during migration.
    • Dogfood scorecards now identify either manifest format under the “DEED repo deed” label.
    • Validation warnings and summary messages now refer to the DEED repository convention and updated manifest formats.
    • K9 summary messaging now references .a2ml and .deed manifests.

Walkthrough

The workflow now treats .deed files as DEED repo deeds while accepting legacy .a2ml files. Validation messages, K9 summary text, and scorecard labels now use the updated manifest terminology.

Changes

DEED manifest workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Manifest detection and reporting
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The validation job is renamed to Validate DEED manifests. Detection scans .a2ml and .deed files. Warnings and summaries use the <reponame>_chora.deed convention and identify legacy .a2ml support.
Scorecard manifest check
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The scorecard checks both manifest extensions. Its table row now identifies the DEED repo deed convention.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: metadatastician

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bc0ea

Invalid DEED manifests can be reported as scanned without validation, weakening the gate during migration. Restore K9-specific reporting and align the validator with manifest detection before merging.

Validate .deed files before counting them as manifests.

COUNT includes *.deed, but .github/hooks/validate-a2ml.sh discovers and validates only *.a2ml. A repository that contains only an invalid .deed can therefore run the validator with no candidates; the validator writes files_scanned=0 and exits successfully. The workflow then reports one scanned manifest without validating it.

Extend the validator to discover .deed files and validate them with the DEED grammar. Keep the detection count and validator input set aligned.

## 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.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Restore the K9-specific warning.

This line runs when K9_COUNT is zero, but it reports that no .a2ml/.deed manifests exist. A repository with a valid deed and no K9 contract will display a false warning. Use No K9 contract files found here, or make the message depend on the manifest count.
