Description

Enforce the DCO sign-off locally so contributors catch a missing Signed-off-by line before CI, alongside the existing black/isort/ruff formatting hooks.

The black and isort hooks already run via pre-commit (#9061), but the DCO check still only lives in the GitHub DCO app, so a missing sign-off is only discovered after pushing. This change:

  • Adds .github/hooks/check-dco.sh, a commit-msg hook that fails when the Signed-off-by line is missing.
  • Sets default_install_hook_types: [pre-commit, commit-msg] in .pre-commit-config.yaml so a plain pre-commit install wires up both stages, and registers the new local DCO hook.
  • Adds a --setup option to runtests.sh that runs pre-commit install.
  • Updates CONTRIBUTING.md to document installing the hooks and the DCO check.

The black/isort -> ruff format consolidation remains tracked separately in #9066.

Verification

  • pre-commit validate-config passes
  • bash -n runtests.sh passes
  • DCO hook verified: fails without a Signed-off-by line, passes with one
  • commit created with the hook active (DCO sign-off check passed)

Types of changes

  • Non-breaking change (fix or new feature that would not break existing functionality).
  • Breaking change (fix or new feature that would cause existing functionality to change).
  • New tests added to cover the changes.
  • Integration tests passed locally by running ./runtests.sh -f -u --net --coverage.
  • Quick tests passed locally by running ./runtests.sh --quick --unittests --disttests.
  • In-line docstrings updated.
  • Documentation updated, tested make html command in the docs/ folder.

Enforce the DCO sign-off locally so contributors catch a missing Signed-off-by before CI, alongside the existing black/isort/ruff formatting hooks.

- .pre-commit-config.yaml: install the commit-msg hook by default (default_install_hook_types) and add a local DCO check hook.
- .github/hooks/check-dco.sh: commit-msg hook that fails when the Signed-off-by line is missing.
- runtests.sh: new --setup option that runs 'pre-commit install'.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: document installing the hooks and the DCO check.

- Line 18: Update the sign-off pattern in check-dco.sh to accept an optional
carriage return before the line end, preserving validation of the existing
Signed-off-by format. Add a test covering a CRLF-terminated commit message to
confirm the commit-msg hook accepts valid sign-offs.

In `@runtests.sh`:
- Line 449: Update the setup completion message in the dry-run handling around
the hook installation flow so --dryrun --setup does not claim hooks were
installed; emit a dry-run-specific message or suppress the success message,
while preserving the installed confirmation for real setup execution.

I think this content should go below with the section discussing DCO and signoff, users won't know what DCO is at this point in the document.

We should also mention somewhere about setting your git global variables to use in the signoff. With git config --global --edit users should set name and email like this:

[global]
[user]
        name = Eric Kerfoot
        email = 17726042+ericspod@users.noreply.github.com

The no-reply email address Github assigns to each user can be seen at https://github.com/settings/emails. As I use here, it's more private to use this address rather than an actual email, and it's associated directly with your Github username.

We should also mention that VSCode can be set to automatically sign off on every commit.

- .github/hooks/check-dco.sh: accept CRLF-terminated Signed-off-by lines
- runtests.sh: don't claim hooks were installed under --dryrun --setup
- CONTRIBUTING.md: move DCO sign-off details out of the coding-style
  section, document setting git user.name/email (including GitHub's
  no-reply address) and VS Code's auto sign-off setting
