fix(gates): gate on the DEED grammar, per the template and standards#837 - #80
Conversation
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.

Full details: Description checkExplanation The description explains the problem, authority, scope, and excluded changes. It does not follow the repository template and omits the required RSR Quality Checklist and Testing sections. It also omits the Summary, Changes, and Screenshots headings. Resolution Restructure the description using the repository template. Add Summary and Changes sections, complete every applicable RSR Quality Checklist item, and document the tests run. Add Screenshots or terminal output, or state that they are not applicable.

summary message instead of reporting missing .a2ml/.deed manifests. Keep the
repo-deed warning exclusively in the manifest validation job.
- Line 33: Update the COUNT condition in the workflow so this gate considers
only .a2ml files until validation support for .deed files exists. Keep the
existing validation branch and summary behavior unchanged for repositories
containing .a2ml manifests.
- Line 362: Update the scorecard row containing `${A2ML_STATUS}` to accurately
represent both accepted formats: DEED repo deed files and legacy
`0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml`/A2ML results. Ensure the label does not claim every passing
result is a DEED repo deed.

Do not count .deed files until the validation path supports them.
Line [33] makes a deed-only repository enter the validation branch. Line [41] then runs .github/hooks/validate-a2ml.sh, whose discovery code still searches only for *.a2ml and exits successfully when no such file exists. The job can therefore pass without validating the .deed, while the summary reports that it scanned one manifest. Invoke a validator that handles both formats, or exclude .deed files from this gate until support exists.

Restore the K9-specific summary message.
Line [94] is in k9-validate, but it reports missing .a2ml/.deed files when K9_COUNT is zero. A repository with no K9 contracts can therefore receive the wrong diagnosis, even when its manifest files are present. Keep the repo-deed warning in the manifest job and report the K9 condition here.

Make the scorecard row match its accepted formats.
Line [308] awards this point for either *.deed or legacy *.a2ml, but line [362] labels every passing result as a DEED repo deed. A repository with only 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml can therefore receive a check mark beside a claim that it has a DEED repo deed. Name both accepted formats in the row, or distinguish legacy A2ML from a DEED result.

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.
