Problem
cloud agents can create GitHub-signed (commits via
git_signed_commit, but had no way to rewrite history so after a local rebase or conflict fix the agent could not force-update an existing PR branch and would open a brand-new PR instead.Changes
Adds
git_signed_rewrite, the force-push counterpart togit_signed_commit:git(finishing withgit rebase --continue, notgit commit), then callsgit_signed_rewrite.createCommitOnBranch), atomically force-moves the real branch onto the result, then deletes the scratch ref — so an existing PR updates in place, every commit stays Verified, and no local signing key is needed. Works for both bot- and user-authored runs
