The CLA this file points at is published in openadapt-flow#420. Assent is by signature, never by implication, so drop the sentence that says opening a pull request agrees to it. Add the corporate CLA link and state what governs a contribution until the CLA check is enabled. Update the two known-dead-link entries in the GitHub link checker to describe the current state. Delete both once openadapt-flow#420 merges. Requires review by qualified legal counsel before it is relied upon.

Read this first: a lawyer has to sign off before anyone relies on it
Neither the author of this PR nor its reviewer is a lawyer. The agreement this
change points at is adapted from a standard template, not written from scratch,
but adapting a template is still a legal act. Please route it to counsel before
the CLA check is turned on anywhere.
Why
CONTRIBUTING.mdhere has told contributors since 2026-07-20 that opening apull request agrees them to a Contributor License Agreement at
openadapt-flow/CLA.md. That file didn't exist. This repo already knew:scripts/check_github_link_anchors.mjscarries the link in its hard-codedknown-dead list, noting that publishing a CLA or dropping the claim "is a
licensing decision".
The decision is made. The CLA is published in
OpenAdaptAI/openadapt-flow#420, which carries the full reasoning: why a CLA
on top of the DCO, which template it came from, what was changed, and who was
affected by the phantom claim. The short answer on that last one: nobody. The
last external human contributor here merged on 2024-06-17, over two years before
the claim appeared.

out loud beats a contributor finding out later.

404 failure.
