📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe contributor guides now describe signed-commit requirements for the default branch, signing methods for people and automated workflows, and merge rules for pull requests. ChangesSigned-commit policy
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Change: Other Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Contributors who can update the existing PR branch may be sent through an unnecessary replacement-PR review cycle. Correct the recovery guidance before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

- Line 137: Update the signed-commit guidance to recommend rewriting and
force-pushing the existing pull request’s head branch when permitted, and make
opening a new pull request a fallback only when force-pushing is unavailable.
Keep the guidance consistent in both documentation versions.

🌐 Web query:
site:docs.github.com signed commits unsigned commits update existing pull request head branch rebase sign commits
💡 Result:
GitHub’s docs indicate that you can fix unsigned commits on an existing PR by **rewriting and signing the commits on its head branch, then force-pushing the updated branch**. Required-signature rules can block a PR when its head branch contains unsigned commits—even for a squash merge. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/managing-rulesets/available-rules-for-rulesets?ref=jscarle.dev&utm_source=openai))
GitHub lets you rebase a PR branch from the PR page, but that updates it with the base branch; it is **not documented as a way to sign previously unsigned commits**. For signed commits, rebase locally with your signing configuration and push the rewritten branch. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/how-tos/create-pull-requests/keeping-your-pull-request-in-sync-with-the-base-branch?utm_source=openai))
One caveat: GitHub’s docs explicitly say its **server-side rebase for stacked PRs** creates unsigned commits. That statement is specific to stacked PRs; the general PR-sync docs don’t establish whether their “Update with rebase” action signs commits. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/how-tos/create-pull-requests/managing-stacked-pull-requests?utm_source=openai))

site:docs.github.com protected branches allow force pushes pull request head branch rewrite commits permissions
💡 Result:
For a **protected branch**, GitHub blocks force pushes by default. You can enable them for everyone with write access or for specified people or teams. This setting doesn’t override other branch protections, and rewriting commits can disrupt collaborators’ work or pull requests. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/managing-protected-branches/about-protected-branches?ref=the-mergify-blog&utm_source=openai))
That applies to the branch the rule protects. A pull request’s **head branch** is the source branch, so whether you can rewrite it depends on protections and permissions applying to that branch—not simply on the fact that it’s a pull request head. GitHub describes pull requests as comparing the head branch with the base branch. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/reference/branches?utm_source=openai))

Keep the existing pull request when the head branch permits force-pushes.
If unsigned commits block a squash merge, contributors can rewrite and sign the existing pull request's head branch, then force-push it. A protected branch can block force-pushes, so opening a new pull request is only a fallback when the required permission is unavailable. The estate signing policy does not require a new pull request.

Update the signed-commit guidance to recommend rewriting and force-pushing the
existing pull request’s head branch when permitted, and make opening a new pull
request a fallback only when force-pushing is unavailable. Keep the guidance
consistent in both documentation versions.

Adds a Signed commits section to this repo's CONTRIBUTING, per owner ruling D218. The estate policy is
docs/SIGNING-POLICY.adocin hyperpolymath/standards.This repo's default branch is covered by the zero-bypass
Require-Signed-Commitsruleset, and rebase-merge is off. The section tells contributors what that requires: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.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
