What changed

  • hyperfleet/docs/owners.md: the repository ownership document. Two roles, how a merge works, the area table (approvers and reviewers per area), the reviewer and approver criteria, what a review and an approval mean, and how to change the table.
  • hyperfleet/docs/owners.yaml: the source of truth for every OWNERS file in the organisation.
  • hack/owners/gen_owners.py: renders the area table into owners.md and OWNERS_ALIASES plus OWNERS files per repository. make owners renders, make verify-owners checks the table is current.
  • hack/owners/labels.sh: creates the area/*, kind/* and tide/* labels in every repository (owners-label only applies labels that exist).
  • hack/owners/open_prs.sh: opens the per-repository OWNERS PRs from the rendered files.
  • Working agreement: reviewer and approver criteria, area-approver merge rule, review turnaround, new commits instead of force-push once review has started, squash on merge, comment types, approver and author expectations.
  • README, CONTRIBUTING and the commit standard point at the ownership document.

Why

Every repository lists the same seventeen people as approvers and reviewers, so review requests route at random, any of seventeen can merge anything alone, and review has concentrated on a few people. The model in owners.md names two or three approvers and a wider reviewer pool per area, keeps one approval to merge but from an area approver, and writes down the path to becoming a reviewer and an approver.

The same criteria were applied to everyone at launch, using the last three sprints. Reviewer and approver status follows the criteria and nothing else.

Reviewers to loop in

Everyone. Look up your areas in the table and raise anything that looks wrong here. The per-repository OWNERS PRs follow once this merges.

Tracked in https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/HYPERFLEET-1762

Merge order

This is step 1 of the HyperFleet repository ownership rollout. Everything else builds on it.

  1. This PR. HYPERFLEET-1762 - docs: repository ownership document, OWNERS generator and review rules #232, ownership document and generator.
  2. HYPERFLEET-1762 - feat: validate the PR title only in --pr mode hyperfleet-hooks#17, commitlint validates the PR title only, then the v0.3.0 tag.
  3. openshift-hyperfleet: onboard five repositories to Prow and require the tide context on repositories without jobs openshift/release#86872, Prow onboarding and the tide context. Independent of 1 and 2.
  4. Team session. Done, held with the team the week of 5 October.
  5. The nineteen per-repository OWNERS PRs, after 1 and 3, when the hold is lifted:
  6. HYPERFLEET-1762 - ci: squash on merge for openshift-hyperfleet, hooks v0.3.0 openshift/release#86873, squash on merge and the commitlint pin bump, after 2.
  7. HYPERFLEET-1762 - feat: group the open PRs digest by area and show requested reviewers hyperfleet-claude-plugins#101, open-PRs digest by area, any time after 5.

📝 Summary

Walkthrough

The change adds YAML ownership assignments and a generator for repository OWNERS files and the ownership table. Make targets render or check generated data. Shell scripts create labels and prepare ownership-update pull requests. Repository guidance defines area-based reviewer and approver criteria, path approvals, review expectations, and merge rules.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 12.50% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 16 functions across 3 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Full details: No Pii Or Sensitive Data In Logs

Explanation

Added output can expose personal identifiers, which matches CWE-532 (Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File). gen_owners.py prints table(data) at lines 207-209; that table includes each person's display name and GitHub login through names() at lines 113-125. Validation errors also print unknown login/name values at lines 192-215. open_prs.sh prints the authenticated fork owner's login in the branch-conflict message at lines 138-149. These are new stdout/stderr paths in the pull request.

Resolution

Remove personal names and GitHub logins from stdout/stderr. Make the table command emit only non-identifying area, path, and alias data, or remove that command. Make validation errors identify only the repository/path and field, without interpolated login/name values. Omit ${head_owner} from branch-conflict output. Keep identity data only in the intended generated ownership files, not operational logs.

iterating over data["repos"], then recreate the root directory so generated

Review comments at @hack/owners/labels.sh:
- Around line 27-35: Update both Python invocations that load YAML for REPOS and
LABELS to receive SOURCE as a command-line argument and read the path from
sys.argv[1], rather than interpolating SOURCE into Python source. Preserve the
existing repository and label parsing behavior.

- Around line 27-30: When no repository names are supplied, validate that OUT
exists as a directory before populating REPOS; report the missing directory and
exit nonzero if it does not. Keep the explicit-argument path unchanged.
- Line 57: Add a per-repository check in the open_prs.sh flow before the git rm
pipeline to verify that ${src}/OWNERS exists; if it is missing, report the
repository path to stderr and stop processing instead of staging a root OWNERS
deletion.

official GitHub repository name restrictions slashes dot dot repository URL SSH path normalization

💡 Result:

GitHub’s published repository-creation rules say a repository name can be at most **100 characters** and contain only ASCII letters, digits, `.`, `-`, and `_`. So `/` is not allowed in a repository name; `..` uses allowed characters, but the docs don’t say whether that exact name is accepted. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/creating-a-new-repository?apiVersion=2022-11-28&utm_source=openai))

GitHub documents SSH remotes in the form `git@github.com:OWNER/REPOSITORY.git`. In that URL, `/` separates the owner from the repository name—it isn’t part of the name. ([github.com](https://github.com/github/docs/blob/main/content/get-started/git-basics/about-remote-repositories.md?utm_source=openai))

**About `..` normalization:** GitHub’s repository docs don’t establish how GitHub handles dot segments in an SSH path. The familiar `git@github.com:owner/repo.git` form is SSH’s scp-like syntax, not an ordinary URL path; don’t assume `..` is normalized as a filesystem path. Whether a particular unusual path is accepted or rewritten remains unresolved in these sources.

Validate repository arguments before using them in paths.

repo is an explicit CLI argument. The repository security standard requires validation before external input constructs file paths or URLs. The current clone-first ordering does not establish a reachable out-of-workspace write for ../x, but it does not satisfy that validation requirement. Reject traversal-containing names before constructing src, dir, or the clone URL. Also reject names without rendered output.

Suggested fix
 for repo in "${REPOS[@]}"; do
+  [[ "${repo}" =~ ^[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9._-]{0,99}$ ]] || { echo "invalid repo name: ${repo}" >&2; exit 2; }

A repository or path removed from owners.yaml left its rendered file behind,
and the PR script would have copied it. The output directory is now cleared
on every render, refusing the repository root and the current directory.

…ewer hand-off command

Review feedback on the generator and the two scripts:

- gen_owners.py resolves symlinks before clearing the output directory and
  refuses the filesystem root, the repository, the current directory, any
  parent of the repository, and any path inside the repository other than
  hack/owners/.
- labels.sh passes the YAML path to Python as an argument instead of
  interpolating it into source.
- open_prs.sh checks the rendered directory exists before listing repositories,
  requires a rendered root OWNERS per repository before cloning so a bad name
  can never stage a root OWNERS deletion, keeps git ls-files failures fatal
  while tolerating an empty grep match (through files, so NUL separators
  survive), and only force-updates a remote branch when an open PR with the
  expected head owner and this title exists, leased on the observed OID.
- owners.md and the working agreement tell a reviewer who cannot meet the
  timeline to /uncc and /auto-cc, since Blunderbuss manages review requests
  and only re-runs on request.

🟠 Major · Reject repository and ownership-path escapes before rendering (CWE-22). · gen_owners.py:164-180

hack/owners/gen_owners.py:164-180
🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Reject repository and ownership-path escapes before rendering (CWE-22).

make owners loads owners.yaml and calls render(). validate() does not validate repository or path keys. For example, a valid repository key /tmp makes base equal /tmp, so rendering can overwrite /tmp/OWNERS and /tmp/OWNERS_ALIASES. An absolute or traversing path key can produce the same result. clear_out_dir() protects only deletion of the selected output root; it does not constrain these writes.

Enforce containment for every constructed output path before creating directories or opening files.

1. Open a PR to [`owners.yaml`](owners.yaml) in this repository. For a role change, follow [How to apply](#how-to-apply).
2. Run `make owners` to regenerate the table in this document and the `OWNERS` files under `hack/owners/out/`. `make verify-owners` is the check that the table is current.
3. Once merged, run `hack/owners/open_prs.sh` to open the `OWNERS` PRs in the affected repositories.

Should we make the open_prs.sh automated? Or should it remain manual?

Just thinking that if someone merges a change to the owners.yaml we'd want that automatically reflected? Might not be necessary to be automated, just a thought. Since I assume we also want to add some check that make verify-owners is correct and there isn't any drift? Wdyt?

For now it will be manual, until we verify its working, we can look into investing in making it automated then, it feels like a nice end of year task for someone

  1. was the hack/owners/pycache/gen_owners.cpython-314.pyc file pushed intentionally?
  2. scripts need bash 4+ (mapfile), mac ships 3.2. is it a prow only, or do we need some tweak for mac os matcha guys?
  3. noticed the table in owners.md and the generated OWNERS don't always match, since check only compares the table against areas:, not repos:. a few i spotted:
  • .github - table says pnguyen44 can approve, OWNERS only has tech-leads
  • hyperfleet-e2e e2e/auth - table says tenancy reviewers, OWNERS uses gateway-reviewers
  • infra helmfile - table lists pnguyen44 and Mischulee as reviewers, OWNERS doesn't have them

not sure if these are intentional tweaks or the table is just out of date. if intentional, maybe worth making check compare both so they don't drift?

… run the scripts on bash 3.2

Every repository path in owners.yaml now names its area, and gen_owners.py
check fails when the path's approvers or reviewers differ from that row of
the table, so the table and the OWNERS files cannot drift. The paths that
had drifted are aligned to the table: .github, e2e/auth, infra helmfile,
pkg/middleware, operator config/manifests, the claude-plugins root and six
per-plugin files. The two infra sub-paths that became identical to the root
are removed.

labels.sh and open_prs.sh no longer use mapfile or unguarded empty-array
expansion, so they run on the bash 3.2 that macOS ships.

The stray __pycache__ file is untracked and ignored.

Thanks, all three addressed

  • The .pyc was not intentional. It is untracked now and __pycache__/ is ignored.
  • The scripts only run on a maintainer's machine, Prow runs the Python check alone. Both now run on bash 3.2: mapfile became while read loops and the one empty-array expansion under set -u uses the form 3.2 accepts. Verified in a bash 3.2.57 container.
  • The drift was real. Every path in owners.yaml now names its area, and check compares the path's approvers and reviewers (aliases expanded) against that row of the table, so they cannot drift again. Run on the previous YAML it reports your three plus eight more. The table is the approved set, so the paths are aligned to it: .github, e2e/auth, infra helmfile, pkg/middleware, operator config/manifests, the claude-plugins root and six per-plugin files. The two infra sub-paths that became identical to the root are gone. The affected OWNERS PRs are being re-pushed from the new render.

…e ownership rules

The README still said every developer has approve and merge access and that
review requirements would come after the MVP, twenty lines above the section
that describes the area approver rule. The access section now states the
rule and points at the ownership document. Last Updated is refreshed on the
README and on the commit standard, whose squash wording changed in this PR.

…agreement from one source

The reviewer and approver criteria are written once in owners.md between
markers. The generator copies the block into the working agreement, with
headings one level deeper, and the check fails when the copy differs from
the source, the same way the area table is handled. The agreement keeps
the criteria as its own rules without a second hand-maintained copy.

Could we have this target run in CI for changes to the ownership source, generator, or related docs? That would enforce the consistency checks automatically on PRs.

I was midway through reviewing this PR when I noticed it had been approved and merged. I left a follow-up comment about CI validation and also noticed that make verify-owners doesn’t check the generated OWNERS files distributed by open_prs.sh. It may be worth adding that check too.

## What changed

Replaces the flat list of approvers and reviewers with area owners from
the
ownership document:
https://github.com/openshift-hyperfleet/architecture/blob/main/hyperfleet/docs/owners.md
(in review in openshift-hyperfleet/architecture#232 until it merges).

- OWNERS_ALIASES holds the names, OWNERS files reference aliases and
carry area labels
- a merge now needs an approver for every touched path
- Blunderbuss requests reviewers from the area's pool

## Why

Today every repository lists the same seventeen people as approvers and
reviewers, so review requests route at random and any one of them can
merge
anything alone. Named areas put the request in front of the people who
know the
code and make an approver accountable for what merges.

**The same criteria were applied to everyone at launch, using the last
three
sprints. Reviewer and approver status follows the criteria in the
ownership
document and nothing else.** The path to reviewer and approver is
written there.

Generated from hyperfleet/docs/owners.yaml in the architecture
repository.
Changes to ownership are a PR to that file, then a regenerated OWNERS
here.

Tracked in https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/HYPERFLEET-1762

## Merge order

This is one of the nineteen per-repository OWNERS PRs, step 5 of the
repository ownership rollout. It merges after the ownership document and
the Prow onboarding PR, and only
when the hold is lifted. The team session that announces the model has
already
happened.

1. openshift-hyperfleet/architecture#232, ownership document and
generator.
2. openshift-hyperfleet/hyperfleet-hooks#17, commitlint validates the PR
title only, then the `v0.3.0` tag.
3. openshift/release#86872, Prow onboarding and the `tide` context.
Independent of 1 and 2.
4. Team session. Done, held with the team the week of 5 October.
5. **This PR.** The nineteen per-repository OWNERS PRs, after 1 and 3,
when the hold is lifted:
   - openshift-hyperfleet/architecture#233
   - openshift-hyperfleet/coderabbit#5
   - **#331 (this PR)**
   - openshift-hyperfleet/hyperfleet-api#398
   - openshift-hyperfleet/hyperfleet-api-spec#68
   - openshift-hyperfleet/hyperfleet-api-spec-template#14

   - openshift-hyperfleet/.github#1
6. openshift/release#86873, squash on merge and the commitlint pin bump,
after 2.
7. openshift-hyperfleet/hyperfleet-claude-plugins#101, open-PRs digest
by area, any time after 5.

/hold
openshift-merge-bot Bot pushed a commit to openshift-hyperfleet/hyperfleet-claude-plugins that referenced this pull request Oct 14, 2026
…quested reviewers (#101)

## What changed

- The open-PRs digest groups PRs by their `area/*` label (first area as
the group, others inline, "No area" last) and shows, per PR, the
requested reviewers and business days since the request. A pending
request older than one business day on a non-draft PR is flagged. Risk
scoring, tiers and the Slack message shape are unchanged.
- `collect-data.sh` reads `review_requested` events from the issue
timeline so the request time is real, with PR `createdAt` as the
fallback.
- `prioritization-algorithm.md` and `output-format.md` replace "review
requests are ignored because reviewers are auto-assigned" with the new
rule: requests come from the area's OWNERS pool and are the reviewer of
record.
- `references/github-repos.md` is the current nineteen repositories
(archived and out-of-scope ones removed, `hyperfleet-api-spec-template`
added).
- `bugs-triage/references/owners.csv` aligned with the ownership areas.
- `CONTRIBUTING.md` and `AGENTS.md`: plugin OWNERS files reference
aliases from the root `OWNERS_ALIASES` and are generated from the
ownership document in the architecture repository.
- `hyperfleet-work-triage` bumped to 0.4.0.

## Why

Prow now labels PRs by area and requests reviewers from the area's
OWNERS pool. The digest is what tells an approver every morning that a
PR is waiting on them, so it has to show the area and the reviewer of
record rather than ignoring requests.

## How to test

```text
bash hyperfleet-work-triage/skills/open-prs/scripts/tests/run-tests.sh
```

96 tests pass. A live run of `collect-data.sh --repo hyperfleet-adapter`
returned real request timestamps from the timeline for adapter#330.

Tracked in https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/HYPERFLEET-1762

## Merge order

This is step 7 of the HyperFleet repository ownership rollout. It can
merge any time after the area labels exist (they do), and is most useful
once the OWNERS PRs (step 5) have merged.

1. openshift-hyperfleet/architecture#232, ownership document and
generator.
2. openshift-hyperfleet/hyperfleet-hooks#17, commitlint validates the PR
title only, then the `v0.3.0` tag.
3. openshift/release#86872, Prow onboarding and the `tide` context.
Independent of 1 and 2.
4. Team session. Done, held with the team the week of 5 October.
5. The nineteen per-repository OWNERS PRs, after 1 and 3, when the hold
is lifted:
   - openshift-hyperfleet/architecture#233
   - openshift-hyperfleet/coderabbit#5
   - openshift-hyperfleet/hyperfleet-adapter#331
   - openshift-hyperfleet/hyperfleet-api#398
