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.

Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
Project: EdenText Maintainer / Licensor: Steffen Becker <stffn.becker@gmail.com> (the "Maintainer")
By submitting a Contribution to this project (for example, via a pull request, patch, or commit), You agree to the following terms for any past and future Contributions submitted to the project.
1. Definitions
- "You" means the individual or legal entity making a Contribution.
- "Contribution" means any original work of authorship — including any modifications or additions to existing work — that You intentionally submit to the project for inclusion in, or documentation of, the software.
2. Copyright stays with You
You retain all right, title, and interest in and to Your Contributions. This agreement does not transfer ownership of Your copyright; it only grants the licenses below.
3. Copyright license grant
You grant the Maintainer, and recipients of software distributed by the Maintainer, a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute Your Contributions and such derivative works.
Right to re-license (dual licensing). You expressly agree that the Maintainer may license and distribute Your Contributions, and any derivative works, under any license terms, including:
- the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (or any later version), and
- one or more separate commercial / proprietary licenses.
This is what allows the project to remain open source under the AGPL while also being offered commercially.
4. Patent license grant
You grant the Maintainer and recipients of the software a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated below) patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer Your Contributions, where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable by You that are necessarily infringed by Your Contribution alone or by combination of Your Contribution with the project. If any entity institutes patent litigation alleging that Your Contribution, or the project to which You contributed, constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to that entity under this agreement for that Contribution terminate.
5. Your representations
You represent that:
- Each Contribution is an original creation by You, or You have the necessary rights to submit it under the terms of this agreement.
- Your Contribution does not, to the best of Your knowledge, violate any third party's copyrights, trademarks, patents, or other intellectual property rights.
- If Your employer has rights to intellectual property You create, You have received permission to make the Contribution on behalf of that employer, or Your employer has waived such rights for the Contribution.
- If any part of Your Contribution is not Your original work, You have clearly identified it (e.g. its source and license) in Your submission.
6. No obligation
You understand that the decision to include Your Contribution in the project is at the sole discretion of the Maintainer, and this agreement does not obligate the Maintainer to use or incorporate Your Contribution.
7. No warranty
Unless required by applicable law or agreed in writing, You provide Your Contributions on an "AS IS" basis, without warranties or conditions of any kind, either express or implied.
