fix(gates): gate on the DEED grammar, per the template and standards#837 - #74
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.

- Line 281: Align the DEED scorecard row label with the predicate used to
calculate DEED_STATUS: either change the predicate to require the root
<reponame>_chora.deed file, or rename the row to describe any qualifying .a2ml
or .deed manifest rather than specifically claiming the root repo deed exists.
Keep the status calculation and label semantically consistent.
- Line 92: Restore the K9-specific warning text in the zero-K9 summary branch,
reporting missing K9 contracts rather than missing .a2ml/.deed manifest files.
Keep the warning consistent with the “k9iser generate .” instruction and leave
the surrounding DEED handling unchanged.

Restore the K9 warning text.
When K9_COUNT is zero, this summary reports missing .a2ml/.deed manifests instead of missing K9 contracts. This is incorrect even when DEED files exist. Keep the K9 warning here, consistent with the k9iser generate . instruction on Line 94.

Align the scorecard label with the DEED check.
The status is calculated by the predicate on Line 235, which accepts any .a2ml or .deed file outside .git. This label claims that the root <reponame>_chora.deed exists. A nested or unrelated manifest can therefore make the “repo deed” row pass. Either check the required root file or use a generic DEED manifest label.

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
