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
    • Dogfood Gate validation now recognises DEED repository manifests alongside legacy A2ML files.
    • Detection, presence checks and scorecard reporting now include .deed manifests while continuing to support .a2ml files.
    • Workflow warnings and summary messages now accurately reflect the supported manifest formats.

Walkthrough

The Dogfood Gate workflow now recognises <reponame>_chora.deed files alongside legacy .a2ml files. It updates validation names, detection commands, warnings, scorecard checks, and scorecard labels.

Changes

DEED manifest support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Manifest detection and warnings
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The validation job detects .deed and .a2ml files. Warning text identifies the repo deed and the accepted legacy manifest.
Scorecard manifest reporting
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The scorecard checks for .deed or .a2ml files. Its manifest row now identifies the DEED repo deed.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2a699

Maintainers may receive incorrect K9 guidance or see legacy A2ML repositories reported as current DEED repositories. These are low-impact, straightforward fixes.

Explanation

The description explains the bug, intended gate behaviour, source authority, and deliberate scope limits. It does not follow the repository template because it omits the required ## Summary, ## Changes, ## RSR Quality Checklist, ## Testing, and ## Screenshots sections.

Resolution

Add the required template sections. List the key changes under ## Changes, complete the required and applicable checklist items, and document the commands or checks used under ## Testing. Add screenshots or terminal output under ## Screenshots, or state that they are not applicable.

## 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 the K9 warning text.

When K9_COUNT is zero, this summary reports missing .a2ml/.deed files even though it belongs to k9-validate. This gives the wrong diagnosis and conflicts with the k9iser generate instruction below. Restore a K9-specific warning.

Proposed fix
-          :warning: **No .a2ml/.deed manifest files found.** Every RSR-compliant repo should have a repo deed at its root.
+          :warning: **No K9 contract files found.** Repos with configuration files should have K9 contracts.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Label both accepted manifest formats. The workflow intentionally accepts legacy .a2ml files during migration, but the scorecard labels every passing result as a DEED repo deed. Rename the row to cover both formats or show separate statuses.
