Purpose

Establish explicit independent ownership for the VERIFRAX intake implementation surface.

Scope

• adds the canonical repository-wide .github/CODEOWNERS authority;
• binds code ownership to @verifrax-systems;
• changes no runtime, application, host, package, release, status-check, signing, ruleset, or branch-protection behavior.

Constitutional boundary

apply receives intake. It does not decide truth, issue authority, execute governed work, verify claims, publish proof, recognize terminal truth, assign recourse, or guarantee admission.

Candidate evidence

• base: 70a33fac2e14130578cbcb420194b2b6ec1442c5
• candidate: 5c7ac95b6e8aa6cab616374d4f72d58576737c44
• CODEOWNERS SHA-256: 50b8f208941a86fe7a245e0bcd56efdbcc94f53e50c2ba75470325f32d60facf
• changed files: 1
• signed candidate commit: verified

Code-owner review enforcement remains intentionally unchanged until this exact candidate is independently reviewed and governed into main.

Independent exact-head review completed. Verified the signed candidate commit, exact base and head, one-file CODEOWNERS scope, canonical @verifrax-systems ownership, unchanged main, and unchanged repository-specific protection policy.
