In @.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml:
- Line 103: Update the zero-K9 branch in the workflow summary to report that no
K9 contracts (*.k9 or *.k9.ncl) were found, rather than missing .a2ml/.deed
manifests. Keep k9iser generate . as the remediation and leave the independent
manifest check unchanged.
- Line 300: Update the DEED scorecard row and its associated DEED_STATUS
predicate so they describe the same requirement: either restrict DEED_STATUS to
the required root <reponame>_chora.deed file, or rename the row to accurately
indicate generic manifest presence. Preserve the existing status formatting and
compliance behavior for the selected definition.

Restore the K9-specific summary.
K9_COUNT counts only *.k9 and *.k9.ncl files. When it is zero, this branch reports missing .a2ml/.deed manifests even though that check runs independently. Repositories with configuration files but no K9 contracts therefore receive the wrong diagnosis. Keep k9iser generate . as the remediation, but change the warning to identify missing K9 contracts.

Align the DEED scorecard label with its predicate.
DEED_STATUS is set when any .a2ml or .deed file exists outside .git. A nested or retained manifest can therefore mark the row compliant when the root <reponame>_chora.deed is absent. Narrow the predicate to the required root file, or rename the row to describe DEED manifest presence.

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.
