- Line 94: Update the zero-K9 summary warning in the workflow block governed by
K9_COUNT to restore the K9-specific message about missing configuration files
without K9 contracts, rather than reporting missing .a2ml/.deed manifests. Keep
the existing K9 remediation behavior unchanged.

Restore the K9-specific summary warning.
When K9_COUNT is 0, this block reports missing .a2ml/.deed manifests. That is the wrong contract for k9-validate and conflicts with the K9 remediation on Line 96. Restore the previous K9-specific message about configuration files without K9 contracts.

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.
CLAIMS.a2ml,.machine_readable/Debtfile.a2ml,contractiles/INDEX.a2ml); rewriting those would fail gates that currently pass.a2ml-validate,A2ML_COUNT): they are referenced fromneeds:and
