Align rebase guidance with the active default-branch ruleset.
The active Base ruleset permits merge, squash, and rebase. Therefore, CONTRIBUTING.md:20 must not state that rebase merging is disabled. Remove rebase from the ruleset or update the guidance. The active rulesets also require signed commits and define no bypass actors.

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
