[PROTECTED-FILE-CHANGE-REQUEST] Approve PR templates and CODEOWNERS for governance implementation #3971

Summary

Requesting approval for modifications to protected .github/ files as part of spec-001 (Repository Governance Layout & Agentic Workflows) Phase 5 implementation.

Files Being Modified

1. .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/ directory (8 new templates)

   • feat.md – Feature/enhancement PR template
   • fix.md – Bug fix PR template
   • docs.md – Documentation PR template
   • design.md – Design system PR template
   • test.md – Testing PR template
   • refactor.md – Refactoring PR template
   • chore.md – Maintenance/chore PR template
   • default.md – Fallback/generic PR template

2. .github/CODEOWNERS (new file)

   • Ownership mapping for governance-critical files (@ashley)
   • Component ownership assignments (src/app/components/, src/app/styles/, etc.)
   • Default owner mappings

Purpose

These changes implement:

• T035 – PR template routing: Routes PRs to appropriate templates based on branch prefix (feat/, fix/, docs/, design/, test/, refactor/, chore/)
• T037 – CODEOWNERS file: Establishes clear ownership for code review requirements and branch protection enforcement

Related PR

• PR chore(deps-dev): bump ts-jest from 29.4.5 to 29.4.10 #346 (ThisOneTimeOnAcidCom): "chore(spec): Phase 2 foundational work + Phase 5 GitHub governance"
  • Branch: build/repo-governance-continue-spec-001
  • Status: Ready for review, blocked by protected files guard check

Impact Assessment

• Breaking changes: None
• User-facing changes: None (governance infrastructure only)
• Backward compatible: Yes (new templates expand existing template coverage)
• Automation impact: Enables PR template routing workflow and CODEOWNERS review requirements

Justification

Both changes implement foundational governance infrastructure required by spec-001. The PR templates enable automated template routing (reducing manual overhead), and CODEOWNERS ensures appropriate stakeholders review critical changes to .github/, scripts/, and governance files.

Note: The protected-files-guard.yml workflow (T017c, already merged) is correctly blocking PR #346 pending this approval request. This is intended behavior.

Requesting approval from @ashley to proceed with merging PR #346.
