🌐 Web query:
site:github.com/hyperpolymath/standards "force push" OR "force-push" signed commits
💡 Result:
I couldn’t find a matching `hyperpolymath/standards` result for **“force push” / “force-push”** alongside **signed commits**. The search results surfaced GitHub’s general documentation instead, which says that a branch can require signed commits and separately allow or block force pushes; allowing force pushes doesn’t override other branch rules. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/managing-rulesets/available-rules-for-rulesets?utm_source=openai))
That doesn’t establish whether the repository itself contains a relevant policy or discussion—the search may not index all of its files or issues.

Keep the existing PR when replacing unsigned commits.
Opening a new PR is not always required. When force-pushes to the source branch are permitted, rewrite and sign the commits, then force-push the branch to the existing PR. Otherwise, open a new PR.
Suggested wording
- branch with signed commits (`git cherry-pick -S`) and open a new PR.
+ branch with signed commits (`git cherry-pick -S`) and force-push it to the existing PR when permitted; otherwise open a new PR.📝 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
