The CODEOWNERS required checks blocked every PR — the real root cause was a name mismatch, compounded by a path filter: - branch-protection.json required the contexts `CODEOWNERS / drift` and `CODEOWNERS / noedit` (the GitHub UI "workflow / job-id" display form), but the jobs report check-run names from their `name:` fields — "CODEOWNERS matches source" / "CODEOWNERS not hand-edited". The required contexts therefore never matched any reported check and sat permanently pending. - The workflow was also path-filtered to CODEOWNERS files, so it didn't even run for most PRs. Net effect: with both required checks unsatisfiable, every PR could only land via admin override (e.g. #140). Fixes: - A: drop the `paths:` filter so the workflow runs on every PR and both required contexts always report. - name fix: point branch-protection.json at the actual job names verbatim, and add a doc note that the contexts must equal the job `name:` values. - B: the `drift` job now re-renders and, on same-repo PRs, auto-commits the regenerated artifacts back to the branch (mirrors the openapi.json job in ci.yml); forks / manual runs strict-check instead. Contributors no longer run the script by hand. - D: render-codeowners.py also generates a "who owns what" path->owners + roles table spliced into docs/dev/codeowners.md between markers, so the human-readable view never drifts. Idempotent; CODEOWNERS output unchanged. - docs: correct the stale `enforce_admins: true` line (JSON and live are false). NOTE: the branch-protection.json change only takes effect after an admin runs `./scripts/apply-branch-protection.sh` (deliberate manual step, per docs/dev/branch-protection.md). Until then `main` still requires the old mismatched contexts, so this PR itself needs an admin-override merge — the last one that should be necessary.

# Code ownership
|
|
|
|
`.github/CODEOWNERS` is **generated** — not hand-edited. The source of truth is `.github/codeowners-roles.yml`, expanded by `.github/scripts/render-codeowners.py`. CI rejects drift between the two and rejects direct edits to `CODEOWNERS` that don't accompany a yml change.
|
|
|
|
This setup gives every role change a reviewable PR and a permanent in-repository audit trail (`git log .github/codeowners-roles.yml`).
|
|
|
|
## Who owns what
|
|
|
|
The tables below are **generated** from `.github/codeowners-roles.yml` by `.github/scripts/render-codeowners.py` (the same render that produces `.github/CODEOWNERS`). They are the always-current "who owns what at this commit" view — don't edit them by hand; edit the yml and re-render.
|
|
|
|
<!-- BEGIN GENERATED OWNERSHIP — edit codeowners-roles.yml + run render-codeowners.py -->
|
|
|
|
**Path → owners** (GitHub applies *last match wins*; the `*` catch-all is listed first and is overridden by the specific patterns below it):
|
|
|
|
| Path | Owners | Role(s) |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `*` | @ragnorc | engineering |
|
|
| `crates/**` | @ragnorc | engineering |
|
|
| `docs/**` | @ragnorc | docs |
|
|
| `README.md` | @ragnorc | docs |
|
|
| `AGENTS.md` | @ragnorc | docs |
|
|
| `CLAUDE.md` | @ragnorc | docs |
|
|
| `SECURITY.md` | @ragnorc | docs |
|
|
|
|
**Roles**:
|
|
|
|
| Role | Members | Description |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `engineering` | @ragnorc | All production code under crates/**. Engine, CLI, server, compiler. |
|
|
| `docs` | @ragnorc | Documentation under docs/**, plus repo-level docs (README.md, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md symlink, SECURITY.md). |
|
|
|
|

|
GitHub treats multiple owners on a CODEOWNERS line as **"any one of them satisfies the review requirement"**. To require N distinct approvers on a specific path, layer a CI check on top (not currently configured).
|
|
|
|
## How to change role membership or path mappings
|
|
|
|
1. Edit `.github/codeowners-roles.yml`.
|
|
2. Open a PR. **CI re-renders for you**: the `CODEOWNERS` workflow regenerates `.github/CODEOWNERS` and the ownership tables above and auto-commits them back to your PR branch on same-repository PRs — you don't have to run the script locally (though you can: `python3 .github/scripts/render-codeowners.py`, requires PyYAML).
|
|
|
|
On a fork (where CI can't push back), the workflow instead fails with the diff so you can run the script and commit it yourself.
|
|
|
|
CI fails the PR if:
|
|
- a fork PR left a generated artifact out of sync, or
|
|
- `CODEOWNERS` was edited without a corresponding yml change (the `CODEOWNERS not hand-edited` check).
|
|
|
|
## How to add a new role
|
|
|
|
1. Add a new entry to `roles:` in the yml with a `description` and `members` list.
|
|
2. Reference the role from `paths:` (or `default:`).
|
|
3. Regenerate + commit as above.
|
|
|
|
## Why a generator, not direct CODEOWNERS edits?
|
|
|
|
- **Audit trail**: `git log .github/codeowners-roles.yml` is the canonical record of every role change. The rendered `CODEOWNERS` is a derived artifact.
|
|
- **Roles are first-class**: paths reference roles, not raw handles. Renaming a person or rotating a role updates one place, not every path.
|
|
- **Future extension**: scheduled rotation (weekly on-call, quarterly leads) plugs into the same yml without changing the path mappings. Not enabled today.
|
|
- **Consistency with the product**: omnigraph itself enforces auditable Cedar policy. The repository's code-owner policy follows the same "policy as reviewed code" pattern.
