WalkthroughThe 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. ChangesManifest validation messaging
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Change: Bug fix Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Repositories without K9 contracts receive the wrong compliance guidance. Restore the K9-specific warning before merge if accurate workflow reporting is required. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

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.

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.
