- Around line 32-60: Update the workflow labels to use DEED/A2ML terminology:
rename the detection step to “Check for DEED/A2ML files,” the validation step to
“Validate DEED/A2ML manifests,” and both summary headings to “DEED/A2ML
Validation.” Keep the a2ml-validate identifier and A2ML_COUNT variable
unchanged.
- Line 105: Update the warning message in the K9_COUNT conditional to use the
nearby K9-contract wording, accurately indicating that no K9 contract files were
found rather than reporting missing .a2ml/.deed manifests.

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.

Why
The guard in
dogfood-gate.ymlcounted.a2mlfiles only: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 iscopied from, byte for byte, including
-type f-freefindand the dual-accept stance.standards#837— "DEED conversion campaign", campaign step 4: *"flip ... RSR gates from.a2mlpresence to
.deedpresence alongside". Gate predicates, not document contents.deed-ecosystem/README.adoc: "The DEED format name and.deedextension are final, not A2ML."Deliberately not done
.a2mlfile is translated or renamed. #837 makes classification into the four DEED forms andper-family mapping specs a prerequisite for mass translation; that is not this PR.
