that no K9 contract files were found, replacing the inaccurate
manifest/repo-deed text while preserving the existing warning formatting and
control flow.
- Line 30: Update .githooks/validate-a2ml.sh to discover and validate both .a2ml

validator’s success result for downstream workflow steps, and update the
manifest job’s scorecard logic so the DEED point is awarded only when at least
one DEED file passes validation, not merely when a file exists or via

Validate .deed files before counting them as compliant. The manifest job counts .deed files, but .githooks/validate-a2ml.sh discovers only *.a2ml and exits successfully when it finds none. A repository with only a malformed .deed therefore passes the manifest-validation job without checking the file. The scorecard also awards the DEED point from file presence alone, and its if: always() condition does not link that point to validation success.
Extend the validator discovery to include *.deed. Export the validation result and award the scorecard point only when a DEED file passes validation.

Restore the K9-specific empty result message.
When K9_COUNT is zero, this summary reports missing manifests. It must report that no K9 contract files were found. The current message is false even when the repository contains a valid repo deed.
Proposed fix
- :warning: **No .a2ml/.deed manifest files found.** Every RSR-compliant repo should have a repo deed (`<reponame>_chora.deed`) at its root.
+ :warning: **No K9 contract files found.**📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

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
