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 guidance to reference .deed manifests alongside legacy .a2ml manifests.
    • Added recommendations for <reponame>_chora.deed manifest naming.
    • Updated validation warnings to provide consistent manifest guidance.

Walkthrough

The dogfood workflow now references DEED manifests alongside legacy A2ML manifests. It updates the A2ML validation labels and warnings, and replaces the K9 missing-contract warning with an A2ML/DEED manifest warning.

Changes

Manifest validation messaging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow manifest messages
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The workflow identifies DEED manifests, accepts .a2ml and .deed files, recommends <reponame>_chora.deed, and marks 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml as legacy. The K9 summary now shows an A2ML/DEED warning instead of a missing-contract warning.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6b185

Repositories without K9 contracts receive the wrong compliance guidance. Restore the K9-specific warning before merge if accurate workflow reporting is required.

## 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.

Report missing K9 contracts in the zero-count summary.

When K9_COUNT is 0, this branch checks for missing .k9 and .k9.ncl contracts. It must not report missing .a2ml/.deed manifests. Replace the message with a K9-specific warning. This change only corrects the summary; validation remains skipped when no K9 contracts exist.
