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.

files are present although the A2ML validator checks no files. Update the
validation flow around “Validate DEED manifests” and .githooks/validate-a2ml.sh
to either validate .deed files or make this job a presence check, ensuring job

Do not report .deed files as validated by the A2ML-only validator.
When a repository contains only a .deed file, COUNT is non-zero, so the workflow runs .githooks/validate-a2ml.sh. That script discovers only *.a2ml, validates zero files, and exits successfully. The job name and summary then report a successful validation without validating the .deed file.
Extend the validator to support .deed, or make this job a presence check and use “detected” wording instead of “validated” or “scanned”.

Constrain the .deed check to the required root file.
The workflow requires <reponame>_chora.deed at the repository root, but both predicates match any .deed path and directories because they omit -type f. A nested docs/example.deed or a directory named foo.deed can therefore suppress the warning and produce a passing DEED scorecard row while the required repo deed is absent.
Require a regular root <reponame>_chora.deed file in both checks. Preserve the explicitly accepted legacy 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml path, or change the displayed requirement to match the intended broader rule.

Keep the K9 summary about K9 contracts.
When K9_COUNT is zero, this branch does not check for .a2ml or .deed files. A repository with a repo deed but no K9 contracts will therefore receive a false manifest warning. Use K9-specific text, such as No K9 contract files found.

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
