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 repository validation to recognise .deed files alongside legacy .a2ml manifests.
    • Corrected validation warnings, summaries and scorecard checks to reference the expected <reponame>_chora.deed file.
    • Improved validation messages when required repository deed files are missing.

Walkthrough

The dogfood workflow now detects .deed files alongside .a2ml files. It updates validation warnings, job summaries, and scorecard criteria to use DEED repo deed terminology.

Changes

DEED manifest alignment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validation and scorecard updates
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The workflow detects .a2ml and .deed files, updates validation warnings and summaries, corrects the K9 warning text, and labels the scorecard criterion as a DEED repo deed.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 7779d

DEED repositories can fail the dogfood gate before validation runs, and repositories missing K9 contracts receive misleading guidance. Correct both workflow messages and the action reference before merging.

Update the validation action reference. The workflow counts .deed files and then uses a commit that does not exist in the renamed action repository. A .deed-only repository can therefore fail before validation runs.

Replace hyperpolymath/a2ml-validate-action@59145c7d1039fa3059b3ecacdb50ee23d7505898 with a valid commit pin for hyperpolymath/deed-validate-action.

## 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.

Restore the K9-specific warning.

When K9_COUNT is zero, this summary reports missing .a2ml/.deed manifests. A repository can contain a repo deed and still have no K9 contracts. The summary then gives false guidance and does not report the missing K9 contracts.

Replace this text with a K9 contract warning.
