## 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.

Align the rebase-merge policy.

.github/settings.yml sets allow_rebase_merge: true, so the repository configuration can permit rebase merges, while line 142 says they are disabled. If squash-only merging is the policy, set allow_rebase_merge to false; otherwise revise line 142 to match the effective policy.

Review comment at @.github/CONTRIBUTING.md at line 142:
Align the rebase-merge policy between the CONTRIBUTING guidance and the
repository setting `allow_rebase_merge` in `.github/settings.yml`: if
squash-only merging is intended, set the setting to false; otherwise revise the
guidance to accurately state the enabled policy.
