Scope ownership to the paths that can do harm - #4
Merged
Conversation
This repository is about to be public, and its collaborator list is inherited from the organisation, so roughly a dozen accounts could otherwise approve a change and land it. Ownership of the whole tree, plus a merge restriction on main, narrows both to the two people who maintain it. The previous file also named a team that GitHub rejected. A code-owner team must be publicly visible, and that one is secret, so the line was ignored and the ownership it described did not exist.

Replaces the whole-tree
*rule with path-scoped ownership, following the shape OpenTag uses, adapted to the paths OpenBot actually has.Also drops
@CopilotKit/engineering. GitHub requires a code-owner team to be publicly visible, and that team is secret, so the line was silently ignored and the ownership it described never existed. The same line is broken in OpenTag and@CopilotKit/demois broken in CopilotKit, both of which are worth a separate heads-up.Reviews from people without write access do not count toward the required approval, so this does not open anything to drive-by approvals.
