What

Replace the unresolvable CODEOWNERS in this repository with one GitHub can actually enforce, and move it from the repository root to .github/CODEOWNERS.

Why

GET /repos/wave-av/examples/codeowners/errors on main currently 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:

  • no reviewer is ever auto-requested on pull requests, and
  • any branch rule that requires Code Owner review can never be satisfied, because there is no code owner to give it.

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, then docs/; keeping a single file in the highest-precedence location avoids a stale shadow copy.
  • Default owner is the organization owner (@yakimoto), whose permission on this repository was verified via GET /repos/wave-av/examples/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.
  • Explicit entries for the release-critical surfaces that exist in this repository (CI workflows, package manifest, release scripts, and the ownership file itself), so those paths keep an owner even if the default rule is later loosened.

Resulting file:

# CODEOWNERS - GitHub auto-requests review from the listed owners on matching paths.
# Every handle here must be a user or team with write access to this repository;
# an unresolvable handle is silently ignored and any "require Code Owner review"
# rule becomes unsatisfiable. Validate after editing:
#   gh api repos/wave-av/examples/codeowners/errors    # expect {"errors":[]}
# Later rules take precedence over earlier ones.

# Default owner for everything.
*                       @yakimoto

# Release-critical surfaces: CI/CD, package manifest, release tooling, ownership.
/.github/workflows/    @yakimoto
/package.json           @yakimoto
/.github/CODEOWNERS     @yakimoto

Verification

  • gh api repos/wave-av/examples/codeowners/errors?ref=chore/codeowners on this branch returns: {"errors":[]}
  • Head SHA: a449e1722858a078e4ddf305cc62b90366782d68

Notes

  • GitHub Actions is currently billing-locked for this organization, so no workflow runs will appear on this PR; the CODEOWNERS validation above is done through the REST API, which does not depend on Actions.
  • This PR does not change branch protection or rulesets. It only makes the existing ownership file resolvable.
  • No secrets, tokens, or credentials are involved; the file contains a GitHub login and path globs only.

Overview
Replaces broken root CODEOWNERS with a resolvable .github/CODEOWNERS so GitHub can actually request reviewers.

The old file pointed at @wave-av/core-team, which GitHub treated as unknown owners—so no auto-review requests and any “require Code Owner review” rule could never be satisfied. The new file sets @yakimoto as the default owner and adds explicit rules for /.github/workflows/, /package.json, /scripts/, and the ownership file itself. Inline comments document validation via the codeowners/errors API and warn not to enable mandatory Code Owner review until a second write-capable owner exists (authors cannot approve their own Code Owner reviews).

Review in cubic

Summary by Sourcery

Make repository code ownership enforceable by relocating CODEOWNERS and assigning resolvable ownership across the repository.

Bug Fixes:

  • Make GitHub code-owner resolution functional so pull requests can receive enforceable owner reviews.

Enhancements:

  • Move the CODEOWNERS file to .github/CODEOWNERS and define a resolvable default owner with explicit ownership for release-critical paths.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Make GitHub code ownership reviews resolve correctly

What Changed

  • Moves the ownership rules to .github/CODEOWNERS, where GitHub can discover and enforce them
  • Replaces the unresolvable team with an owner who has write access to the repository
  • Keeps explicit ownership for workflows, the package manifest, release scripts, and the ownership file
  • Documents the single-maintainer limitation so Code Owner approval is not required until a second eligible owner is added

Impact

✅ Code Owner review requests reach a valid repository owner
✅ Release-critical files retain explicit ownership
✅ Fewer unmergeable pull requests caused by invalid ownership rules

💡 Usage Guide

Checking Your Pull Request

Every time you make a pull request, our system automatically looks through it. We check for security issues, mistakes in how you're setting up your infrastructure, and common code problems. We do this to make sure your changes are solid and won't cause any trouble later.

Talking to CodeAnt AI

@codeant-ai ask: Your question here

This lets you have a chat with CodeAnt AI about your pull request, making it easier to understand and improve your code.

Example

@codeant-ai ask: Can you suggest a safer alternative to storing this secret?

Preserve Org Learnings with CodeAnt

You can record team preferences so CodeAnt AI applies them in future reviews. Reply directly to the specific CodeAnt AI suggestion (in the same thread) and replace "Your feedback here" with your input:

@codeant-ai: Your feedback here

Check Your Repository Health

To analyze the health of your code repository, visit our dashboard at https://app.codeant.ai. This tool helps you identify potential issues and areas for improvement in your codebase, ensuring your repository maintains high standards of code health.

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).

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR changes GitHub ownership and review-enforcement behavior rather than application runtime behavior. The sole-owner configuration is documented as incompatible with mandatory Code Owner review, but the repository’s existing protection settings could not be verified, leaving a concrete risk of unmergeable pull requests.

Not approved because:

  • Credit balance exhausted. Approvability relies on correctness review in order to determine eligibility

Review your spending limits in Billing settings. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.

Comment thread .github/CODEOWNERS Outdated
…he single-maintainer constraint

Addresses the review threads on this PR on the merits:

- The "release tooling" comment named a scope the rules did not pin: scripts/
  holds the release/validation tooling and had no explicit line. Add
  `/scripts/ @yakimoto` so the explicit rules match the stated scope
  instead of relying on the `*` default.
- The validation hint called `codeowners/errors` without `ref`, which
  inspects the DEFAULT branch, so it could report `{"errors":[]}` for a
  branch whose CODEOWNERS is broken. Pass `?ref=<branch-or-commit>`.
- The repository has one collaborator with write access. GitHub does not
  count a PR author's own approval toward a Code Owner review, so a
  "require review from Code Owners" rule would be unsatisfiable for that
  author's PRs. Branch protection has no required-review rule today
  (`required_pull_request_reviews` is null); this file only drives review
  requests. Record that constraint in the file so the rule is not enabled
  before a second write-access owner exists. Listing a handle without
  write access would be the unresolvable-owner defect the header warns
  about, so no second owner is added here.

Validated on the branch: `gh api 'repos/<org>/<repo>/codeowners/errors?ref=chore/codeowners'`
returns `{"errors":[]}`.
