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
    • Added guidance on commit signing requirements, including the use of registered SSH keys and verified committer email addresses.
    • Clarified that automated contributions must use approved signing methods, and that pull requests require squash merges with signed commits.

Walkthrough

The contribution guide now describes signed-commit requirements for the default branch and pull request branches. It specifies signing methods for people, interactive agents, apps, bots and workflows. It also states that pull requests must use squash merging and that rebase merging is disabled.

Changes

Signed commit policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Signing and merge requirements
.github/CONTRIBUTING.md
The guide specifies signing requirements for people, interactive agents, apps, bots and workflows. It states that unsigned pull request commits block merging, gives a command to recreate signed commits, and requires squash merging.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a46d5

This documentation-only change incorrectly describes rebase merging as disabled. Correct that statement; the remaining risk is bounded contributor confusion, not a runtime or deployment failure.

Architecture Summary

Review details

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in .github/CONTRIBUTING.md: Adds signed-commit requirements for the default branch, specifying SSH signing setup and verified committer email for people and interactive agents, API-based signed commits for apps, bots and workflows, and squash merging. It also states that unsigned PR-branch commits block merging, gives git cherry-pick -S as the branch recreation command, and says rebase-merge is disabled.

A rabbit signs each commit with care,
SSH keys tucked beneath its hair.
It squash-merges before it hops,
While unsigned commits meet the stops.
Then back to nibbling clover goes.

Comment thread .github/CONTRIBUTING.md
- Merge PRs with **squash**. The ruleset checks every commit on the PR branch,
not just the result, so one unsigned commit blocks the merge. Re-create such a
branch with signed commits (`git cherry-pick -S`) and open a new PR.
Rebase-merge replays commits unsigned and is disabled.

Remove the incorrect rebase-merge claim.

allow_rebase_merge: true enables rebase merging. The active rulesets enforce signed commits, deletion protection, and non-fast-forward protection, but do not disable a merge method.

Suggested fix
-  Rebase-merge replays commits unsigned and is disabled.

Review comment at @.github/CONTRIBUTING.md at line 52:
Update the Rebase-merge statement in the contribution guidance to reflect that
rebase merging is enabled; remove the unsupported claim that it is disabled or
replays commits unsigned.
