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 Dogfood Gate guidance to identify <reponame>_chora.deed as the canonical DEED repository deed format.
    • Revised validation warnings to direct repositories towards adding a DEED repository deed.
    • Updated scorecard wording to reflect the current DEED format and remove legacy manifest references.

Changes

Dogfood Gate messaging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Canonical DEED repo deed messaging
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
Manifest warnings and K9 guidance now identify <reponame>_chora.deed as the required repo deed. The DEED scorecard label uses the same format. Legacy 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml remains accepted during migration.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to aa562

The gate still runs, but its summaries can misreport K9 and DEED compliance. These localized wording fixes should be made before or shortly after merging.

## 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 K9-specific wording in this summary.

When K9_COUNT is zero, a repository with a valid .deed file can receive a false “No .a2ml/.deed manifest files found” warning. Use wording such as “No K9 contracts found” and retain the existing k9iser generate . guidance. This wording error affects the summary only; K9 validation and the dogfooding scorecard use separate K9 checks.

Keep the legacy .a2ml state visible in the scorecard label.

The scorecard predicate still marks any .a2ml file as present. A legacy-only repository can therefore receive a check mark while the label names only the canonical repo deed. Retain the legacy qualifier or distinguish canonical and legacy statuses.

Escape the Markdown backticks in this unquoted heredoc.

cat <<EOF performs command substitution on backticks in the heredoc body. Bash parses <reponame>_chora.deed as redirection syntax, not literal Markdown. The redirection reports reponame: No such file or directory, but the outer cat still exits with status 0. The generated scorecard therefore contains DEED repo deed () instead of the intended label.

Proposed fix
-          | DEED repo deed (`<reponame>_chora.deed`) | ${DEED_STATUS} | Required for all RSR repos |
+          | DEED repo deed (\`<reponame>_chora.deed\`) | ${DEED_STATUS} | Required for all RSR repos |
