Close the commit-message code fence before the signed-commit section.
The fence opened at line 115 remains open. GitHub Flavoured Markdown renders the signed-commit heading, list, and policy link as code.

Correct the rebase-merge guidance.
The repository allows merge, squash, and rebase methods. The guide must not state that rebase merge is disabled. Keep squash merge as the project preference:

+ Rebase merge is available, but squash merge is the project preference.📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

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
