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 validation messages to refer broadly to .a2ml and .deed manifest files.
    • Clarified that RSR repositories should include a repository deed named <reponame>_chora.deed.
    • Noted that legacy 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml files remain accepted during migration.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Corrected K9 validation warning text to reference the relevant K9 contract files.

Walkthrough

The dogfood gate now labels the validation job as DEED validation. Its warnings reference .a2ml/.deed manifests, repository deed naming, and accepted legacy files during migration.

Use the same DEED names in the scorecard.

When no manifest exists, the workflow warning recommends <reponame>_chora.deed and identifies 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml as the legacy filename. The same run writes the scorecard to GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY, where the row currently names 0-AI-MANIFEST.deed and legacy .a2ml. Change the row to match the warning.
