Pull request overview
Adds an SSH authentication human guide and wires it into the repository’s contributor/security documentation so contributors can follow a consistent SSH + GPG workflow.
Changes:
- Added a new SSH authentication guide covering key generation, ssh-agent usage, Git URL rewriting, server auth, and troubleshooting.
- Updated contributor/security docs to reference SSH + GPG setup, and bumped guide/policy versions accordingly.
- Updated indexes (root README and
human-guides/README.md) to include the new SSH guide.
