Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository structure and existing ownership or branch protection settings. Choose one of the suggested CODEOWNERS locations, determine the appropriate owners from repository context, and verify that any applicable branch protection rules use the file; done means the file exists and review ownership is configured.

Description

This repository does not currently include a CODEOWNERS file.

A CODEOWNERS file helps:

  • ensure reviewers are automatically requested,
  • clarify ownership and on-call responsibilities,
  • enforce code review policies via branch protection rules.

Suggested locations (choose one):

  • /.github/CODEOWNERS (preferred if sharing across many repos via a central file)
  • /CODEOWNERS
  • /docs/CODEOWNERS

Docs: https://docs.github.com/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/about-code-owners

Please add a CODEOWNERS file and ensure branch protection rules reference it where applicable.
