fix(gates): gate on the DEED grammar, per the template and standards#837 - #72
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.

Align the manifest predicate with the stated root deed requirement.
COUNT recursively accepts any .a2ml or .deed file. A nested or unrelated file can therefore suppress the warning, run validation, and produce the summary as if the required root <reponame>_chora.deed exists. Restrict the predicate and summary to the required root file, or update both messages to state that recursive manifests are accepted.

Restore a K9-specific summary warning.
This block runs when K9_COUNT is zero, but the new text reports missing .a2ml/.deed files. A repository with a valid deed but no K9 contracts will receive a false summary. Use a K9-specific message consistent with the condition at lines 73–75.

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.
