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 explain commit-signing requirements for changes to the default branch, including the signing options for people, interactive agents, apps and workflows.
    • Clarified that pull requests must be squash-merged. Unsigned commits on a pull request branch prevent merging and must be replaced with signed commits; rebase-merging is not available.

Walkthrough

The contribution guide now sets commit-signing requirements for people, interactive agents, apps, bots and workflows. It also requires squash merges and explains that unsigned commits on a pull request branch block merging.

Changes

Contribution commit-signing rules

Layer / File(s) Summary
Signing and merge requirements
.github/CONTRIBUTING.md
The guide describes signing methods for people, interactive agents, apps, bots and workflows. It states that unsigned pull request branch commits block merging and that contributors must squash-merge. It also states that rebase-merge is disabled.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5678f

The guide may lead contributors to configure OpenPGP despite its SSH rule, and its recovery example cannot run without a commit argument. These are straightforward, bounded documentation fixes, so the PR presents low merge risk.

Architecture Summary

Architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5678f

The changed surface does not map to a changed system, dependency edge, entrypoint, or external dependency.

Changed systems: None identified.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in .github/CONTRIBUTING.md: Adds commit-signing requirements for people and interactive agents, API-based signing for apps, bots and workflows, and squash-only merging.

- Line 205: Update the cherry-pick example in the contribution instructions to
include a commit argument, showing that each commit should be replayed with
signing enabled using git cherry-pick -S and the commit identifier.
- Around line 197-199: Update the earlier commit-signing setup in the
contribution instructions to configure SSH signing with gpg.format and an SSH
public key, and remove wording that presents SSH signing as optional. Keep it
consistent with the later SSH requirement.

- **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.

Make the earlier signing setup require SSH.

The earlier setup enables signing without setting gpg.format, so Git uses OpenPGP by default. It also presents SSH signing as an alternative, while the later rule requires people and interactive agents to use SSH. Replace the earlier setup with the SSH configuration or consolidate the instructions.

Suggested fix
-git config --global commit.gpgsign true
-git config --global user.signingkey <your-key-id>
+git config --global gpg.format ssh
+git config --global user.signingkey <your-key>.pub
+git config --global commit.gpgsign true
-SSH signing works too (`gpg.format` `=` `ssh`).

Review comment at @.github/CONTRIBUTING.md around lines 197 - 199:
Update the earlier commit-signing setup in the contribution instructions to
configure SSH signing with gpg.format and an SSH public key, and remove wording
that presents SSH signing as optional. Keep it consistent with the later SSH
requirement.
