From 2f9dd3cdf7068a71ef84c416d1eb2cb51415f46f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steffen Becker Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 10:33:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] docs: the CLA asks for the phrase its bot actually accepts The signing instructions named a phrase the workflow ignores, and told contributors to put it in the PR description rather than a comment - following them left a PR blocked forever. Both files now quote the action's own phrase. Drops the note that CLA Assistant still had to be set up; it is running. --- CLA.md | 9 ++------- CONTRIBUTING.md | 12 ++++++------ 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/CLA.md b/CLA.md index 9c62043..ef242cd 100644 --- a/CLA.md +++ b/CLA.md @@ -3,11 +3,6 @@ **Project:** EdenText **Maintainer / Licensor:** Steffen Becker <stffn.becker@gmail.com> (the "Maintainer") -> ⚠️ **Note:** This is a plain-language template adapted from common individual CLAs -> (in the spirit of the Apache Individual CLA).
