Summary

Closes #222.

CONTRIBUTING.md's "Making changes" section walked contributors through
fork → change → build → open PR, but never mentioned the DCO sign-off
(git commit -s) that CI enforces on every commit. First-time contributors
following the guide verbatim would open a PR that fails the DCO check and
then have to learn about git rebase --signoff from a red CI status.

Change

Adds a step to "Making changes" instructing contributors to commit with
git commit -s, and a one-line pointer to git rebase --signoff main for
repairing an already-unsigned branch.
