WalkthroughThe contribution guide now describes commit-signing requirements for commits reaching the default branch. It gives signing and commit-creation instructions for contributors, apps, bots and workflows, and explains how unsigned commits affect pull request branches and merge methods.

Align the rebase-merge documentation with .github/settings.yml.
.github/settings.yml is the repository configuration for probot/settings, and it sets allow_rebase_merge: true. This conflicts with “Rebase-merge ... is disabled.” Set the option to false if rebase-merge must remain disabled. Otherwise, update the sentence to match the configured value.

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
