The guides say rebase-merge is disabled, but the checked-in repository setting enables it. .github/settings.yml sets allow_rebase_merge: true (Lines 48–57).

| * **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. |
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
