+// CODEOWNERS + blast-radius analyzer (#1515). Fetches .github/CODEOWNERS (with fallbacks to CODEOWNERS and

+// and reports files where the PR author is absent from the owner list — plus the blast radius derived at render
+// time from the unique set of ownership domains (users/teams) crossed by the PR.
+// Glob-to-regex conversion uses only atomic `[^/]*`, `.*`, and literal escapes — no catastrophic backtracking.
