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.

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.

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.
