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 validation messaging to refer to DEED manifests and repository deeds.
    • Clarified that legacy 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml files remain accepted during migration.
    • Updated warnings shown when expected manifest or contract files are not found.

Walkthrough

The dogfood gate workflow now uses DEED terminology for A2ML validation and repository-deed warnings. The K9 validation summary also uses the repository-deed warning instead of the K9 contract warning.

Changes

Dogfood gate validation messaging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validation labels and warnings
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The A2ML job is named Validate DEED manifests. Its warnings refer to <reponame>_chora.deed and note that legacy 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml files remain accepted during migration. The K9 summary warning now uses the repository-deed message.

The workflow can show misleading K9 compliance guidance, but validation remains functional.

Explanation

The description explains the problem, intended gate changes, authority, and excluded work. However, it does not follow the repository template: it omits the required Summary, Changes, RSR Quality Checklist, Testing, and Screenshots sections. It also provides no test or checklist results.

Resolution

Rewrite the description using the repository template. Add Summary, Changes, RSR Quality Checklist, Testing, and Screenshots sections. Mark each applicable checklist item and describe the tests that were run, or state why a section is 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.

Keep the K9 summary warning aligned with its condition.

This branch runs when K9_COUNT is zero. It does not check .a2ml or .deed files. A repository with a valid <reponame>_chora.deed but no K9 file will therefore receive a false No .a2ml/.deed manifest files found warning. Restore a K9-specific message, or change the condition to check the repository-deed predicate.
