+# DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin) enforcement
+#
+# This workflow:
+#   - Checks every commit in a pull request
+#   - Requires at least one valid "Signed-off-by: Name <email>" trailer
+#   - Reports the exact commits that fail
+#   - Uses read-only permissions
+#   - Does not check out or execute pull-request code
+#
+# For organization-wide enforcement, store this workflow in the
+# organization's workflow-policy repository and select it under:
+# Organization Settings → Rulesets → Require workflows to pass before merging
