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/sdk-python/codeowners/errors on main currently reports 3 "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/sdk-python/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/sdk-python/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
/pyproject.toml         @yakimoto
/scripts/release/       @yakimoto
/.github/CODEOWNERS     @yakimoto

Verification

  • gh api repos/wave-av/sdk-python/codeowners/errors?ref=chore/codeowners on this branch returns: {"errors":[]}
  • Head SHA: 2b7bb7e054f881c1631b654bb1cdabbad88ce483

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.

Note

Low Risk
Governance-only change to review routing; no application code, secrets, or runtime behavior.

Overview
Fixes broken GitHub code ownership by replacing unresolvable team handles (@wave-av/core-team, etc.) with @yakimoto, a verified admin on this repo, so auto-review requests and “require Code Owner review” rules can actually be satisfied.

Moves ownership from root CODEOWNERS to .github/CODEOWNERS (highest precedence) and drops the old root file to avoid a stale duplicate. The new file adds path-specific owners for CI workflows, pyproject.toml, release scripts, and the CODEOWNERS file itself, plus inline docs on validating handles via the codeowners/errors API.

Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 2b7bb7e. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.

Summary by Sourcery

Make repository code ownership enforceable by relocating CODEOWNERS and assigning valid ownership across the repository and release-critical files.

Bug Fixes:

  • Make GitHub code ownership resolvable so pull requests can receive valid automatic reviewer requests and satisfy code-owner review requirements.

Enhancements:

  • Move the CODEOWNERS file to .github/CODEOWNERS and define a repository-wide owner plus explicit ownership for release-critical paths.

Review in cubic

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: Would Approve

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This two-file governance change makes GitHub code-owner routing resolvable and removes the stale root copy. It does not affect SDK runtime behavior, production deployment, or customer request paths, and both changed files are owned by the author.

Not approved because:

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

🌐 Web query:

GitHub REST API repository codeowners errors ref parameter gh api -X GET -f raw-field documentation

💡 Result:

To interact with the GitHub REST API regarding CODEOWNERS files, there are two distinct primary API endpoints depending on whether you wish to validate the file syntax or retrieve the file content itself. 1. Retrieving CODEOWNERS Errors To list syntax errors in a repository's CODEOWNERS file, use the following endpoint: GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/codeowners/errors [1] Parameter: - ref (string, optional): A branch, tag, or commit name to target a specific revision of the CODEOWNERS file. If omitted, it defaults to the repository's default branch [2][1]. Example usage with the GitHub CLI (gh): gh api /repos/{owner}/{repo}/codeowners/errors?ref=main [1] 2. Retrieving the CODEOWNERS File Content To retrieve the raw content of the CODEOWNERS file, use the standard repository contents endpoint: GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/contents/{path} [3] When requesting the file content, the API returns a JSON object containing a download_url and a sha. To get the raw content, you can either: - Use the download_url field returned in the API response [4]. - Request the file with the Accept header set to application/vnd.github.raw to receive the file content directly in the response body [3][4]. Similar to the errors endpoint, you can pass an optional ref parameter to this request to target a specific branch, tag, or commit [3][4]. Documentation Reference: While specific documentation for the "codeowners/errors" endpoint may be limited in some centralized docs, it is an established REST API endpoint for diagnosing syntax issues in CODEOWNERS files [1][5]. For general file retrieval, the standard repository contents documentation applies [3][6].

🌐 Web query:

site:cli.github.com/manual/gh_api gh api --raw-field --method GET query parameters

💡 Result:

When using the GitHub CLI gh api command, you can pass query parameters for a GET request by using the -f (or --raw-field) flag combined with the -X GET (or --method GET) flag [1]. By default, adding parameters using -f or -F flags automatically changes the request method to POST [1]. To ensure your request remains a GET request while including query parameters, you must explicitly set the method to GET [1]. Example usage: gh api -X GET endpoint -f key=value -f key2=value2 In this command: - -X GET (or --method GET) forces the request to be a GET request [1]. - -f key=value adds the specified parameters as a query string to the URL [1]. If you need to add typed parameters (e.g., non-string values or reading from a file), you can use the -F (--field) flag instead, following the same requirement to specify --method GET to keep the request as a query string rather than a POST body [1].

Citations:


🌐 Web query:

site:docs.github.com/en/rest/repos/repos codeowners errors ref default branch

💡 Result:

CODEOWNERS files are branch-specific, meaning GitHub uses the version of the file located on the base branch of a pull request to determine review requests [1][2][3]. If you encounter errors or unexpected behavior regarding code owners, consider the following points based on how GitHub handles these files: Branch Context: Because each CODEOWNERS file assigns owners for a single branch, ensure that the file exists on the specific branch you are working on [1][2][3]. If you update the file on a feature branch but open a pull request against the default branch, GitHub will use the version of the file present on the default branch, not your feature branch [1]. File Location and Precedence: GitHub searches for the CODEOWNERS file in the following order: the.github/ directory, the root of the repository, or the docs/ directory [1][2][3]. If files exist in multiple locations, GitHub uses the first one it finds [1][2][3]. Ensure your file is in a supported location and that there are no conflicting files in higher-priority directories [1]. Validation: To prevent issues, especially when automating file generation, run validations in your CI pipeline [4]. If you use tools to generate or modify your CODEOWNERS file, ensure that any changes are pushed to your pull request so that the base branch reflects the intended ownership rules [4]. For debugging purposes, verify the syntax of your rules. For example, rules in the root-level CODEOWNERS file are not relative to a subdirectory; they target paths from the root of the repository [5]. Using a leading / can help explicitly target paths from the root, while patterns like * apply to everything in the repository [1][5].
