The AI-assistant policy says an AI agent must never add a Signed-off-by trailer, because only a human can certify the DCO. That is right for the case it was written for: an assistant helping a contributor who then signs off themselves. It does not fit automation a maintainer runs. Those pull requests have no human submitter, so nothing ever signs and the DCO check blocks them permanently. Sixty-one open pull requests from the maintenance bot are in exactly that state, every one of them correctly following the documented rule. Carve out the case: automation a maintainer operates signs off with that maintainer's identity. The maintainer certifies the DCO, as they do for a commit they typed by hand, because they configured the automation, own its output, and take responsibility on merge. The Assisted-by trailer still records that a model wrote the code, so provenance is unchanged. Keep the exception narrow. An assistant helping an outside contributor still must not sign off, and a bot must not sign for anyone but its operator, including on a contributor's branch it pushes to.
