docs: add Signed commits section to CONTRIBUTING

[hyperpolymath]

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.

This is a docs-only change. The commit was created through createCommitOnBranch, so GitHub signs it.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Added guidance requiring commits reaching the default branch to be signed, with people and interactive agents using a GitHub-registered SSH signing key and verified committer email.
  • Clarified that apps, bots and workflows must use the approved API or signing action rather than pushing local commits.
  • Specified squash merging for pull requests; an unsigned commit blocks a pull request from merging, and rebase merging is disabled.

Walkthrough

The contribution guides add a policy requiring signed commits on the default branch. They describe signing requirements, commit paths for apps, bots, and workflows, and squash-only PR merging.

Changes

Signed Commit Policy

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Document the signed-commit policy .github/CONTRIBUTING.md, CONTRIBUTING.adoc	Both guides require signed commits on the default branch. They specify SSH signing with a GitHub-registered key and a verified committer email for people and interactive agents. They describe commit paths for apps, bots, and workflows, and specify squash merging. Unsigned commits on a PR branch block merging, and rebase merging is disabled.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 20478

The guides clarify that unsigned commits on a PR branch block merging and direct automation to signed commit paths. No concrete mismatch was established in this documentation-only change.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to c9b2b

The change documents commit-authenticity and merge rules without changing permissions or enforcement. Risk is limited, but the actual branch protections and external automation signing behavior were not independently confirmed.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The affected security contract concerns contributor and automation commit provenance and integration into this repository’s default branch. The documentation delta does not itself expand write privileges or introduce a new privileged execution path.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• inferred — Signature provenance, repository write authority, and merge eligibility remain distinct controls. Requiring an API-written or signed commit does not itself grant repository authorization, and the documentation changes no permission declaration.
• observed — The guide asserts rejection of unsigned pushes, PR-branch signature checks, and disabled rebase merging. Those statements describe expected external controls; the inspected local HEAD check cannot independently substantiate them.

🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5

✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title check	✅ Passed	The title clearly and concisely describes the main change: adding a signed-commits section to CONTRIBUTING documentation.
Description check	✅ Passed	The description is directly related to the documentation changes and explains the signed-commit policy, merge requirements, and scope.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 0…
Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
