| ## Signed commits | ||

||
| Every commit that reaches the default branch must be signed; a ruleset refuses | ||
| unsigned pushes. Estate policy: | ||
| [SIGNING-POLICY](https://github.com/hyperpolymath/standards/blob/main/docs/SIGNING-POLICY.adoc). | ||
|
|
||
| - **People and interactive agents** sign with an SSH key registered on GitHub | ||
| as a *signing* key (`gpg.format=ssh`, `user.signingkey=<key>.pub`, | ||
| `commit.gpgsign=true`). The committer email must be verified on that account. | ||
| - **Apps, bots and workflows** never `git push` local commits. They write | ||
| through the API (`createCommitOnBranch` or the estate `signed-push` action) | ||
| so that GitHub signs each commit. | ||
| - 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. |

Close the code fence before the “Signed commits” section.
The section is inside the preceding fence, so GitHub renders its heading and list as literal code. This makes the guidance harder to scan.

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
