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 validation warnings and summaries to refer to .a2ml and .deed files consistently.
    • Clarified that the repository deed follows the <reponame>_chora.deed naming convention.
    • Updated the DEED requirement label and included the relevant standards issue reference.
    • Corrected the message shown when a required contract is missing.

Walkthrough

The workflow updates DEED-related warnings, summaries, and scorecard text. Messages now refer to .a2ml/.deed files and repository deeds. The K9 summary uses the DEED missing-manifest wording.

Missing-manifest messages now reference .a2ml/.deed files, repository deeds, and standards issue #837. The K9 summary uses the DEED missing-manifest wording. The scorecard labels the requirement as a DEED repository deed.

## 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.

Restore K9-specific wording in the K9 summary.

The k9-validate job enters this branch when K9_COUNT is zero, but this message reports missing .a2ml/.deed manifests and recommends a repository deed. Replace it with a K9-specific message, such as No K9 contract files found, and retain the k9iser generate . guidance below.
