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
    • Updated contribution guidance to require signed commits for changes reaching the default branch. Unsigned pushes are rejected, and unsigned commits on pull requests block merging.
    • Pull requests must be squash-merged; rebase merging is unavailable. Guidance also explains signing requirements for people and automated tools.

Walkthrough

The contribution guides now state signed-commit requirements for commits reaching the default branch. They describe signing methods for people and interactive agents, commit methods for apps and workflows, and squash-merge requirements.

Changes

Signed-commit policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Document signing and merge requirements
.github/CONTRIBUTING.md, CONTRIBUTING.adoc
Both guides specify signing requirements, commit methods for people and automated actors, and squash-merge rules. They state that unsigned commits block merging and that rebase-merge is disabled.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3a065

The docs are accurate for the live repository, but the checked-in settings file would re-enable rebase merging if probot/settings applies it. Align the file before or shortly after merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3a065

This documentation change introduces no demonstrated new privileges or runtime exposure. However, its signing and merge guarantees are not fully supported by the repository configuration, and active enforcement needs confirmation.

Retained concerns

  • Low · security · observed: The new guides state that rebase merging is disabled, while unchanged versioned settings enable it. This introduces conflicting descriptions of a security-relevant merge control; it does not establish that the live repository permits an unsigned merge.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated scope is contributor and automation guidance for this repository's default branch. The inspected changes do not grant credentials, expand privileges, or change runtime access; any effect on actual contribution workflows depends on adoption of the guidance.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The policy assigns people and interactive agents GitHub-registered SSH signing keys and verified committer emails, while directing apps, bots, and workflows to GitHub-signed API commit creation. It also asserts validation of every PR-branch commit, but the inspected settings specify required signatures without establishing that complete hosted enforcement behavior.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Confirm the active hosted ruleset and enabled merge methods, then reconcile the guides and versioned settings. Clarify whether enforcement covers every source commit and how contributor attribution relates to the GitHub signature on the squash result.

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.

Disable rebase merging in the repository configuration.

.github/settings.yml is applied by probot/settings and sets allow_rebase_merge: true. This conflicts with the squash-only policy documented in both guides.

Suggested fix
-  allow_rebase_merge: true
+  allow_rebase_merge: false
📍 Affects 2 files
  • .github/CONTRIBUTING.md#L144-L144 (this comment)
  • CONTRIBUTING.adoc#L26-L26

Review comment at @.github/CONTRIBUTING.md at line 144:
Set allow_rebase_merge to false in the repository settings applied by
probot/settings so repository configuration matches the squash-only policy. The
guidance at .github/CONTRIBUTING.md, line 144, and CONTRIBUTING.adoc, line 26,
requires no direct change; these sites document the existing policy.
