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

  • Changes
    • Repository validation now requires a repository deed (<reponame>_chora.deed) instead of the legacy 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml file.
    • Validation checks recognise both deed and A2ML files.
    • Workflow warnings and summaries now clearly reference the repository deed requirement.
    • Scorecard reporting has been updated to reflect deed presence alongside A2ML files.

The workflow detects .deed and legacy .a2ml files. Warnings, summaries, and the scorecard now refer to the DEED repo deed requirement.

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c95b8

The workflow can report repositories as compliant without a required root manifest and gives misleading K9 failure guidance. Fix both before merging.

Restrict manifest checks to the required root files.

find . matches nested .deed and .a2ml files. A repository with only examples/sample.deed can therefore skip the missing repo-deed warning and receive the manifest point at line 319. Use the same root-specific predicate in both places for a root <reponame>_chora.deed or the allowed root 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml.

## 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 branch reports missing .a2ml/.deed files. It does not report missing K9 contracts and contradicts the k9-validate job. Replace this message with a K9 contract warning.
