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

  • Chores

    • Updated automated validation messaging to reference .a2ml/.deed files and the repository deed naming convention.
    • Removed legacy .a2ml wording from DEED warnings and scorecard messages.
  • Known Issues

    • The K9 missing-contract summary currently displays the DEED manifest warning instead of the K9-specific warning.

Walkthrough

The workflow updates DEED warning and scorecard wording to reference .a2ml/.deed files and repository deeds. The K9 missing-contract summary now displays the DEED manifest warning instead of its K9-specific warning.

Changes

Dogfood gate workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update gate warnings and scorecard
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
DEED messages now reference .a2ml/.deed files and <reponame>_chora.deed. The scorecard removes the legacy .a2ml alternative. The K9 missing-contract summary now uses the DEED manifest warning.

:warning: **No .a2ml/.deed manifest files found.** Every RSR-compliant repo should have a repo deed (`<reponame>_chora.deed`) at its root.

Preserve the retained .a2ml contract in the DEED messages.

.machine_readable/contractiles/must/Mustfile.a2ml still requires 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml, and .machine_readable/MUST.contractile requires that file to be preserved. Line 53 now directs maintainers only to a root <reponame>_chora.deed, while Line 398 labels any recursive .a2ml or .deed match as a root repository deed. Keep the legacy filename in the remediation text, and either retain both accepted paths in the scorecard label or change the predicate to check the required root files.

Also applies to: 398-398

## 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-specific missing-contract message.

When K9_COUNT is zero, this summary is under k9-validate, but it reports missing .a2ml/.deed manifests. Report missing K9 contracts instead, then retain the existing k9iser generate . instruction. Otherwise, repositories with configuration files but no K9 files receive the wrong remediation.
