chore: make CODEOWNERS resolvable and move it to .github/ - #72
Conversation
The previous CODEOWNERS named a team GitHub could not resolve on this repository, so every line was reported as "Unknown owner" and any rule requiring Code Owner review had no one who could satisfy it. Replace it with an owner that has verified write access, move it to .github/CODEOWNERS (the highest-precedence location), and add explicit entries for the release-critical surfaces present here (workflows, package manifest, release scripts).

site:docs.github.com REST repositories codeowners errors ref parameter default branch
💡 Result:
The GitHub REST API provides an endpoint to list errors in a repository's CODEOWNERS file [1][2]. When calling this endpoint, the ref parameter is used to specify a branch, tag, or commit name to determine which version of the CODEOWNERS file is validated [3][4][5]. If the ref parameter is omitted, the API defaults to the repository's configured default branch (e.g., main) [3][4][5]. CODEOWNERS files are branch-specific; therefore, using the ref parameter allows you to check for syntax errors or invalid owners in a specific branch's configuration [1][2]. If any line in the CODEOWNERS file contains invalid syntax, that line is typically ignored, and the API helps identify these issues for programmatic management [1][2].

Pass the edited ref to the CODEOWNERS validation command.
Without ref, the GitHub API validates the default branch instead of the edited .github/CODEOWNERS file.

What
Replace the unresolvable
CODEOWNERSin this repository with one GitHub can actually enforce, and move it from the repository root to.github/CODEOWNERS.Why
GET /repos/wave-av/cli/codeowners/errorsonmaincurrently reports 2 "Unknown owner" error(s) - every owner line in the existing file names a team that either does not exist in this organization or has no write access to this repository. GitHub silently ignores such lines, which means:That second point is the operational problem: a PR gated on Code Owner approval would sit unmergeable without an admin override.
Change
CODEOWNERS(root) ->.github/CODEOWNERS. GitHub checks.github/first, then the root, thendocs/; keeping a single file in the highest-precedence location avoids a stale shadow copy.GET /repos/wave-av/cli/collaborators/yakimoto/permission->admin. No organization team currently holds write on this repository, so a team handle would be ignored exactly like the old one. When a team is granted write here, swapping the handle is a one-line follow-up.Resulting file:

Overview
Moves CODEOWNERS to
.github/CODEOWNERSand replaces unresolvable@wave-av/core-teamhandles with@yakimoto, so GitHub can auto-request reviews and satisfy Code Owner branch rules.The root
CODEOWNERSfile is removed to avoid a stale duplicate. The new file sets a default*owner and explicit owners for CI workflows,package.json, release scripts, and the ownership file itself, with inline notes on validating handles via the GitHub API.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 0a7797e. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
Summary by Sourcery
