fix(gates): gate on the DEED grammar, per the template and standards#837 - #110
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.

In @.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml:
- Line 64: Update the workflow’s user-facing strings to use DEED terminology:
change the summary heading and the validation step label associated with the
`Validate DEED manifests` job. Preserve the `a2ml-validate` command and
`A2ML_COUNT` variable unchanged.
- Line 110: Update the warning message in the K9_COUNT summary branch to
describe missing K9 contracts or detections rather than missing .a2ml/.deed
manifests, keeping the remediation specific to K9 detection.
- Line 38: Update the workflow’s non-zero-file validation path around COUNT and
.githooks/validate-a2ml.sh so .deed files are actually validated, not merely
counted. Use a DEED-aware validator or extend validate-a2ml.sh to discover and
validate both .a2ml and .deed files, while preserving the existing exclusion
rules.

Validate .deed files with a DEED-aware validator.
When the count is non-zero, the workflow invokes .githooks/validate-a2ml.sh. That script discovers only *.a2ml files, so a DEED-only repository reaches the no-file branch and exits successfully without validating the .deed file. No later workflow step validates DEEDs. Use a DEED validator, or extend this validator to support DEED syntax as well as discovering both extensions.

Use DEED terminology consistently in the summary.
The job is labelled Validate DEED manifests, but the summary still writes ## A2ML Validation, and the validation step retains Validate A2ML manifests. Rename these display strings to DEED. Keep a2ml-validate and A2ML_COUNT unchanged. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Keep the K9 summary tied to K9 detection.
The surrounding condition checks K9_COUNT, but this message reports missing .a2ml/.deed manifests. A repository with a deed and no K9 contracts will receive a false summary and the wrong remediation. Restore a K9-specific warning here. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

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

.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.
