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

  • New Features

    • DEED files are now recognised as manifest artifacts alongside legacy A2ML files in the Dogfood Gate checks.
    • Validation and scorecard reporting now include DEED manifest files.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Updated validation warnings and summaries to accurately report missing A2ML or DEED manifests.

Walkthrough

The Dogfood Gate workflow now recognises DEED manifests alongside legacy A2ML files. It updates validation warnings, step summaries, manifest checks, and the scorecard label.

Changes

DEED manifest gate

Layer / File(s) Summary
Manifest detection and scorecard reporting
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The validation job detects .a2ml and .deed files. Warnings and summaries reference the DEED naming pattern. The scorecard checks both file types and labels the manifest row as a DEED repo deed.

Priority: ➖ Normal

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

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 84f67

The workflow can complete while showing confusing validation labels and an incorrect missing-manifest warning; these should be corrected as a bounded follow-up.

Use DEED/A2ML in all user-facing validation labels.

The Check for A2ML files and Validate A2ML manifests step names, plus both ## A2ML Validation summary headings, remain A2ML-only. A .deed-only run therefore shows mixed terminology despite the job being named Validate DEED manifests. Rename them to Check for DEED/A2ML files, Validate DEED/A2ML manifests, and ## DEED/A2ML Validation. Keep a2ml-validate and A2ML_COUNT unchanged.

Restore the K9-specific summary message.

K9_COUNT counts *.k9 and *.k9.ncl files, not .a2ml or .deed manifests. This branch can therefore run when a .deed exists but no K9 contract exists. The current message incorrectly reports a missing manifest. Use the nearby warning's K9-contract wording instead.
