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

  • Workflow Updates
    • Updated validation messaging to clarify that repositories should include a <reponame>_chora.deed manifest.
    • Legacy .a2ml manifests are now acknowledged as part of the migration process.
    • Manifest detection now recognises both .a2ml and .deed files.
    • Renamed the validation job to “Validate DEED manifests”.

Walkthrough

The workflow now uses DEED terminology and recognises both .a2ml and .deed manifests. Warning messages describe the expected repository deed and the accepted migration state.

Changes

Manifest messaging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow manifest guidance
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The validation job name and missing-manifest warnings now reference DEED manifests, <reponame>_chora.deed, and accepted legacy .a2ml files. The K9 job uses the same manifest warning text while retaining its existing K9 checks.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ed596

The workflow can mislead maintainers about why K9 validation found nothing, but the issue is localized and does not block the workflow.

## 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-specific summary warning.

This branch runs when K9_COUNT is zero, but the changed text reports that no .a2ml/.deed manifests were found. A repository can contain manifests and still have no K9 contracts. Restore the K9 warning here, and retain the k9iser generate . guidance.
