explicitly define how bot-authored commits satisfy the DCO check, including
whether automation changes the author, uses a matching human sign-off email, or
relies on a configured exemption.

Review feedback on RL-Align#359: the previous wording was mechanically unsatisfiable — the DCO check matches the sign-off email against the commit author email, so a human sign-off cannot validate a bot-authored commit. State the two viable paths (bot self-signoff with its own author email, or an app-level exemption) and keep the human-responsibility clause. Signed-off-by: Bruce Liu <2898118638@qq.com>

In `@CONTRIBUTING.md`:
- Around line 75-77: Update the global sign-off requirements in CONTRIBUTING.md
to explicitly exclude commits exempted by the DCO app, using wording such as
“Every non-exempt commit” and clarifying that exempt bot commits may omit the
trailer. Keep the bot-specific guidance consistent with this exception.

Review feedback on RL-Align#359: the opening rule ("every commit") conflicted with the bot-exemption path introduced in c659cbf. Make the exemption an explicitly scoped single exception, referenced from both the opening rule and the bot policy bullet. Signed-off-by: Bruce Liu <2898118638@qq.com>

Add the unmodified Developer Certificate of Origin 1.1 as /DCO, a root CONTRIBUTING.md documenting git commit -s / rebase --signoff repair (fork-first), email matching, co-author/bot/AI-assistance signing policies, and the transition policy for pull requests opened before the check was enabled.

Review feedback on RL-Align#359: git commit -s and git rebase --signoff sign with the committer identity, so the sign-off only matches the author email when both identities coincide. Also correct the email-matching section: GitHub account association affects attribution only, not the DCO check itself. Signed-off-by: Bruce Liu <2898118638@qq.com>

Motivation
The DCO GitHub App is installed and its check is required, but the
repository currently documents nothing about it — a contributor whose
pull request turns red on a missing sign-off has no in-repo guidance.
This adds the documentation planned in #358 (section 1, repository-side
items; implementation order, step 1).
Changes
DCO— the unmodified Developer Certificate of Origin 1.1 text,taken verbatim from https://developercertificate.org/.
CONTRIBUTING.md— the canonical contribution guide: sign-offcommands (
git commit -s; fork-firstrebase --signoffrepair), emailmatching, co-author/bot/AI-assistance signing policies, and the
transition policy for pull requests opened before the check was enabled.
README.md— a short "Contributing" section linking the guide.docs/contributing/README.md— a compact sign-off quick referencefor the documentation site; links to
CONTRIBUTING.mdfor full rules.Verification
