Adds automatic reviewer assignment to improve PR review velocity and establish clear component ownership.

Changes

Created .github/CODEOWNERS with ownership patterns:

  • Global default: *@githubnext/gh-aw-firewall-maintainers
  • Container security: /containers/
  • CI/CD workflows: /.github/workflows/ and /scripts/ci/
  • Documentation site: /docs-site/
  • Core TypeScript: /src/
  • Test infrastructure: /tests/
  • Build configuration: package.json, tsconfig*.json

All patterns use team reference format and follow .gitignore syntax with last-match-wins precedence.

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>[plan] create codeowners file for automatic reviewer assignment</issue_title>
<issue_description>## Objective

Create a .github/CODEOWNERS file to automatically assign reviewers based on the files changed in a PR.

Context

Without CODEOWNERS:

  • PRs may sit unreviewed, slowing down merge velocity
  • No clear ownership of different components
  • Manual reviewer assignment is error-prone

Approach

  1. Create .github/CODEOWNERS file
  2. Define ownership patterns:
    • Global default owners (all files)
    • Container security: /containers/
    • CI/CD workflows: /.github/workflows/
    • Documentation site: /docs-site/
    • Core TypeScript: /src/
  3. Use team references (e.g., @githubnext/gh-aw-firewall-maintainers) or individual usernames

Files to Create

  • Create: .github/CODEOWNERS

Acceptance Criteria

  • .github/CODEOWNERS exists with ownership patterns for key directories
  • File uses valid GitHub username or team syntax
  • Ownership covers containers, workflows, docs, and core code
  • Global fallback owners are defined
