Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius. 🧰 Additional context used📚 Code guidelines (1)📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe contribution guides now state that commits reaching the default branch must be signed. They describe signing methods for people and automated commit creators, require squash merges, and explain how to handle branches with unsigned commits. ChangesSigned commit guidance
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Change: Other Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The signing section is placed at the wrong level in the contributor outline, and the merge guidance conflicts with tracked settings that enable rebase and merge commits. These localized inconsistencies should be aligned before contributors rely on the guidance. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change does not modify permissions or enforcement. However, the new guidance says rebase merging is disabled while repository configuration enables it. This creates uncertainty about the documented signing guarantees, without establishing an actual signature bypass. Retained concerns

- Line 73: Change the Signed commits heading from level two to level three so it
is nested under Contributing, matching the existing contribution-topic heading
levels.
- Around line 85-88: Update the repository settings for allow_merge_commit and
allow_rebase_merge to disable both merge modes, keeping squash merging enabled
to match the squash-only policy documented in CONTRIBUTING.

Disable the merge modes that contradict the squash-only policy.
.github/settings.yml is repository-level configuration for the probot/settings app. It enables both allow_merge_commit and allow_rebase_merge. This contradicts the guide's squash-only instruction and its claim that rebase merging is disabled. When the settings are applied, GitHub can offer merge-commit and rebase merges.

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
