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 DEED validation guidance to clarify that legacy 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml files remain accepted during migration.
    • Improved no-manifest messages to reference .a2ml and .deed files and direct repositories to provide a <reponame>_chora.deed repo deed.
    • Updated K9 warnings and the dogfooding scorecard to use the current repo deed terminology.

Walkthrough

The workflow updates DEED and K9 messages to reference .a2ml/.deed manifests and repo deeds. The scorecard now labels the DEED requirement as a repo deed.

Changes

Manifest guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow manifest messages
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The workflow updates DEED and K9 warnings, removes the “a2ml retired” phrase, and relabels the scorecard requirement as DEED repo deed (<reponame>_chora.deed).

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a4416

The workflow can direct repositories with missing K9 contracts to the wrong remediation and can mislabel legacy or nested manifests as a repo deed. Correct the guidance and scorecard label before merge.

## 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.

Keep the K9 summary specific to K9 contracts.

This branch runs when K9_COUNT is zero. The new text reports missing .a2ml/.deed manifests and tells the user to add a repo deed. A repository can have a valid repo deed and still have zero K9 contracts, so the summary reports the wrong failure and omits the K9 remediation. Restore a K9-specific message here.

Align the DEED scorecard label with its predicate.

DEED_STATUS is set when the recursive search finds any .a2ml or .deed file outside .git. It does not prove that <reponame>_chora.deed exists at the repository root. Use a label that matches the accepted condition:

Suggested change
-          | DEED repo deed (`<reponame>_chora.deed`) | ${DEED_STATUS} | Required for all RSR repos |
+          | DEED manifest (`.a2ml` or `.deed`, repository-wide) | ${DEED_STATUS} | Required for all RSR repos |

| DEED manifest (`.a2ml` or `.deed`, repository-wide) | ${DEED_STATUS} | Required for all RSR repos |
