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 workflow status messages to reflect current .a2ml and .deed manifest naming.
    • Clarified that legacy 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml files remain accepted during the transition.
    • Corrected the K9 validation warning wording.

Walkthrough

The workflow messages now use repository deed terminology, document legacy .a2ml acceptance during migration, correct the K9 warning, and label the scorecard entry with <reponame>_chora.deed.

Changes

Dogfood gate messaging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validation message updates
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
DEED warnings now refer to .a2ml and .deed files, recommend <reponame>_chora.deed, and note legacy 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml support. The K9 warning now refers to K9 contracts and k9iser generate .. The scorecard labels the repository deed correctly.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 024e2

Compliance feedback can incorrectly accept a repository without a root deed, mislabel missing K9 contracts, and omit the DEED result. Correct these workflow checks and summaries before merging.

Limit manifest detection to the repository root. The recursive command counts nested files such as .machine_readable/6a2/STATE.a2ml, so a repository without a root deed can skip the warning. Check only the accepted root-level names, and apply the same predicate to the scorecard check at line 282.

          COUNT=$(find . -maxdepth 1 -type f \( -name '0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml' -o -name '*_chora.deed' \) -not -path './.git/*' | wc -l)

## 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 summary warning.

When K9_COUNT is zero, this K9 summary prints a DEED manifest warning. Replace it with No K9 contract files found.

Use ${DEED_STATUS} for the DEED row. The step assigns DEED_STATUS, but the unquoted heredoc expands ${A2ML_STATUS}. If A2ML_STATUS is unset, the DEED status cell is empty.
