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 repository validation messages to reflect the migration from .a2ml to .deed repository deeds.
    • Clarified that repositories should provide a <reponame>_chora.deed file.
    • Simplified scorecard wording to refer consistently to the repository deed.
    • Aligned warnings across validation checks for clearer, more consistent guidance.

Walkthrough

The dogfood workflow now uses .deed repo-deed wording in DEED warnings, K9 summary output, and the scorecard. It retains the legacy .a2ml reference for migration compatibility.

Changes

DEED Migration Messaging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update workflow migration messages
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The workflow updates missing-manifest warnings and the scorecard label to reference <reponame>_chora.deed. The DEED detection warning still notes legacy .a2ml support during migration. The K9 summary uses the DEED repo-deed warning text.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ca902

The workflow remains usable, but its compliance messages should be corrected before merge to avoid misleading repository owners.

## 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.

Use a K9-specific warning for the zero-contract branch. The branch runs when K9_COUNT is zero, regardless of whether .a2ml or .deed manifests exist. Replace the DEED message so the K9 summary does not report a false missing-manifest condition.

Suggested change
:warning: **No .a2ml/.deed manifest files found.** Every RSR-compliant repo should have a repo deed (`<reponame>_chora.deed`) at its root.
:warning: **No K9 contracts found.** Run `k9iser generate .` to generate contracts.

Align the DEED scorecard label with the predicate.

The predicate accepts any matching .a2ml or .deed path anywhere outside .git. It does not require a root <reponame>_chora.deed file. Change the label to reflect the accepted manifest paths.

Suggested change
-          | DEED repo deed (`<reponame>_chora.deed`) | ${DEED_STATUS} | Required for all RSR repos |
+          | DEED manifest (`.a2ml`/`.deed`) | ${DEED_STATUS} | Required for all RSR repos |
