fix(gates): gate on the DEED grammar, per the template and standards#837 - #77
Conversation
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.

In @.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml:
- Line 102: Update the K9_COUNT == 0 summary branch in the dogfood gate to use
the K9-specific warning consistent with the message at Line 88 and k9iser
generate ., rather than reporting missing .a2ml/.deed manifest files. Preserve
the existing behavior for repositories that actually lack those manifests.
- Line 360: Update the DEED status row in the scorecard output so it does not
present a legacy A2ML-only result as a DEED result. Either revise the label to
explicitly include the accepted *.a2ml case or emit separate rows for DEED and
legacy A2ML statuses, while preserving the existing A2ML_STATUS predicate
behavior.
- Line 40: Update .githooks/validate-a2ml.sh so its file discovery includes both
*.a2ml and *.deed patterns, ensuring deed-only changes are passed to the
existing validation flow instead of being treated as having no files.
- Line 40: Update the artifact-count predicates in the workflow, including the
corresponding predicate near the scorecard check, so .deed matches are
restricted to the repository root while .a2ml files remain recursive. Ensure
nested files such as docs/example.deed cannot satisfy the required root deed
condition.

Validate .deed files in the validator. When the workflow detects only a .deed file, .githooks/validate-a2ml.sh searches only for *.a2ml, reports no files, and exits successfully. The .deed file therefore bypasses validation. Update the validator to discover and validate .deed files.

Require the repository-root deed in both predicates.
find . recursively accepts any nested *.deed. A file such as docs/example.deed can suppress the missing-manifest warning and set the scorecard check mark, although this workflow requires <reponame>_chora.deed at the repository root. Restrict the .deed match to the repository root in this predicate and in the corresponding predicate at line 306.

Restore the K9-specific summary warning.
The K9_COUNT == 0 branch reports missing .a2ml/.deed files. A repository with configuration files and no K9 contracts therefore receives an incorrect summary. Use a K9-specific warning here, consistent with Line 88 and k9iser generate ..

Do not label a legacy A2ML result as a DEED result.
The scorecard predicate still returns a checkmark when a repository contains only *.a2ml. The row then claims that a DEED repo deed is present. Include the legacy A2ML acceptance in the label or emit separate status rows.

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
