Correct the rebase-merge statement.
The checked-in configuration permits rebase-merge. No active repository ruleset restricts merge methods, and hyperpolymath is a user account, not an organisation. Update the statement or set allow_rebase_merge: false.
Suggested documentation fix
- Rebase-merge replays commits unsigned and is disabled.
+ Rebase-merge is configured as allowed. Use squash merge for this project.📝 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.

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
