Extracts the dense inline DCO paragraph from the "Before You Open a PR" section into a dedicated ### Sign Your Commits subsection.

What changed

  • Adds a ### Sign Your Commits heading directly below the Conventional Commits paragraph
  • Leads with the command (git commit -s) in a code block
  • Follows with a plain-English explainer of what the sign-off does
  • Adds linkable #### Fix unsigned commits already pushed and #### Auto-setup for future commits subheadings
  • Removes the old inline paragraph (content preserved, structure only changed)

Why

Open PRs are getting blocked on DCO checks. The existing guidance was buried mid-paragraph; contributors may not find it until CI blocks them. This makes the requirement and its fix immediately visible and actionable.

Notes

Docs-only change, no code modified. Replaces closed PR #3337, which GitHub would not reopen after the branch was force-pushed.

Extracts the dense DCO paragraph into a dedicated '### Sign Your
Commits' subsection with a command-first layout: the command block
leads, then a plain-English explainer, then fix and auto-setup
sub-blocks. Content is unchanged; only structure and readability
are improved.
