Research direction

Read the linked GitHub CODEOWNERS documentation, then inspect the repository to choose among /.github/CODEOWNERS, /CODEOWNERS, or /docs/CODEOWNERS. Done means a CODEOWNERS file exists in one supported location and branch protection rules reference it where applicable; the issue does not specify the owners or patterns to include.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

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.
