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

  • Documentation
    • Updated validation messaging to refer to DEED manifests.
    • Clarified that each RSR repository should contain a root-level repository deed named <reponame>_chora.deed.
    • Noted that the legacy 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml format remains accepted during migration.
    • Applied the updated guidance consistently to validation and K9 workflow summaries.

Walkthrough

The dogfood gate workflow now uses DEED terminology. Its warnings identify the expected <reponame>_chora.deed file and record that legacy 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml remains accepted during migration.

Changes

Manifest messaging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update manifest workflow messages
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The validation job name and no-file warnings now refer to repo deeds. The K9 summary uses the same manifest guidance. Legacy A2ML support is noted during migration.

Align the scorecard manifest name with the workflow guidance.

The scorecard names 0-AI-MANIFEST.deed, but the detection warning and summary name <reponame>_chora.deed and retain 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml as the migration format. Use the same wording in this row to avoid conflicting filename guidance.

## 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.

Use K9-specific text in the K9 summary.

When K9_COUNT is zero, this branch runs regardless of .a2ml or .deed files. Replace the manifest warning with :warning: **No K9 contracts found.** and keep the existing k9iser instruction.
