Remove the fast-forward restriction from the branch policy.
feat/<topic> uses squash merges, but main currently accepts only fast-forward updates. A squash merge creates a new commit on main, so contributors cannot follow both instructions. Keep the squash workflow and replace the fast-forward requirement.
Suggested fix
-- `main` — protected; only fast-forward from approved PRs.
+- `main` — protected; only updated through approved PRs.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

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
