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

  • New Features

    • Manifest checks now recognise .deed files in addition to .a2ml files.
    • Repositories using either supported manifest format can satisfy the manifest requirement.
  • Improvements

    • Workflow results and scorecards now use DEED terminology.
    • Warnings and summaries clarify that .a2ml remains supported as a legacy format.
    • Missing-contract warnings now provide consistent DEED manifest guidance.

Walkthrough

The workflow now recognises .deed and legacy .a2ml manifests. Validation messages and scorecard output use DEED terminology. The K9 missing-contract message now uses the DEED manifest warning text.

Changes

DEED manifest support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Manifest validation and scorecard handling
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The validation job and summaries use DEED terminology. Manifest detection and the scorecard accept .deed or legacy .a2ml files. The scorecard identifies the expected DEED repository deed. The K9 missing-contract message uses the DEED manifest warning text.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3acb6

DEED manifests can pass without validation, defeating the PR’s primary purpose. Update validator discovery and restore the K9 warning before merging.

Make the validator scan .deed files before enabling this path.

COUNT now includes .deed, so a repository containing only foo.deed runs .github/hooks/validate-a2ml.sh. That script still discovers only *.a2ml; when no such file exists, it exits successfully. The DEED path can therefore pass without validation. Line 59 can also report a file as scanned when the validator scanned none.

Update the validator to discover and validate both extensions, or do not add .deed to this predicate yet.

Also applies to: 59-59

## 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.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Restore the K9 warning in the K9 summary.

When $K9_COUNT is zero, this branch reports missing .a2ml/.deed manifests. It must report missing K9 contracts and retain the K9 remediation. The current text sends users to fix the wrong gate.
