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

  • Enhancements

    • Repository validation now recognises both .a2ml and .deed manifest formats.
    • Validation guidance now identifies the expected repository deed naming convention and links to the relevant template.
    • Checks continue to support legacy A2ML manifests.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Updated warnings now accurately identify incorrect or missing A2ML/deed manifests.
    • Scorecard results and tables now refer to DEED repository deeds consistently.

Walkthrough

The workflow now recognises .deed files and legacy .a2ml files. It updates validation warnings, summaries, and scorecard labels to use the repository deed convention.

Changes

DEED manifest support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Manifest validation updates
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
Validation jobs use DEED terminology. Manifest checks detect .a2ml and .deed files. Warnings and summaries use the <reponame>_chora.deed convention and retain legacy A2ML support.
Scorecard manifest checks
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The scorecard accepts either manifest format. The scorecard table refers to DEED repository deeds.

Send DEED files to a DEED-aware validator. The workflow counts *.deed files, but .githooks/validate-a2ml.sh scans only *.a2ml files. A DEED-only repository can therefore run validation without validating its DEED files. Update the workflow or validator so *.deed files reach DEED-specific validation.

## 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.

Keep the K9 summary aligned with the K9 condition.

This block runs when K9_COUNT is zero, but the message reports missing .a2ml/.deed manifests. A repository with a valid manifest and no K9 contract receives a false summary. Replace this text with a K9-specific warning.

Proposed fix
-          :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.** Generate contracts with `k9iser generate .`.
