Adds a Signed commits section to this repo's CONTRIBUTING, per owner ruling D218. The estate policy is docs/SIGNING-POLICY.adoc in hyperpolymath/standards.

This repo's default branch is covered by the zero-bypass Require-Signed-Commits ruleset, and rebase-merge is off. The section tells contributors what that requires:

  • People and interactive agents sign with an SSH signing key.
  • Apps, bots and workflows write through the API, so GitHub signs their commits.
  • PRs are merged with squash.

If the file already had its own signing section, that section is replaced in place instead of adding a second one. Lines elsewhere that told people to sign with GPG are changed to match the policy (SSH for people).

This is a docs-only change. The commit was created through createCommitOnBranch, so GitHub signs it.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated the contribution guidance to require signed commits on the default branch; unsigned pushes are rejected.
    • Contributors and interactive agents must use a GitHub-registered SSH signing key and verified committer email. SSH signing requires Git 2.34 or later.
    • Apps, bots and workflows must create commits through the GitHub API or the approved signed-push action.
    • Pull requests must be squash-merged. Unsigned commits block merging, and rebase merging is disabled.

Walkthrough

Both contribution guides add signed-commit requirements, signing instructions for people and automation, and guidance on squash merges and unsigned commits on PR branches.

Changes

Contribution guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Signed-commit policy
.github/CONTRIBUTING.md, CONTRIBUTING.adoc
Both guides describe signing requirements for people and automation. They require squash merges, state that unsigned commits on PR branches block merging, and explain how to recreate a branch with signed commits. The guides also state that rebase-merge is disabled.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~4 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f74fe

The guidance aligns with available signing documentation and the repository’s squash-merge workflow. No verified issue blocks merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to c2afb

The change documents signing and merge requirements without granting new permissions or changing automation. No introduced security weakness was established, but the repository settings underlying its enforcement claims could not be verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The direct security-relevant scope is contributor and automation guidance for commits entering this repository's default branch. The inspected change introduces no executable credential access, permission grant or cross-service execution path.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The guidance distinguishes account-registered SSH signing by people and interactive agents from GitHub signing for automation. It states that a ruleset rejects unsigned commits and that rebase merging is disabled; these are documented assertions, not independently verified repository settings.

A rabbit signs each commit with care,
Then checks the branch before the merge.
“Squash it,” says the rabbit, with a hop,
No unsigned commit shall reach the top,
And off it bounds through fields of code.

State the Git version for SSH signing.

The SSH-signing instructions need Git 2.34 or later. The project’s Git 2.40+ prerequisite applies to the broader developer setup in QUICKSTART-DEV.adoc, not specifically to SSH signing. Add the supported SSH-signing minimum to both contributor guides, or link to the setup instructions that define it.
