📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds repository ownership lookup for finding paths and includes eligible owners in suggested reviewers ahead of commit reviewers. Ownership suggestions are gated by an organization feature flag. The report pipeline skips reviewer updates when a user-attributed reviewer artefact exists and emits resolved-reviewer telemetry only when it writes a reviewer artefact. Prompt guidance, internal documentation, and tests cover ownership lookup and reviewer persistence. Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Repository-owner reviewer suggestions are behind a rollout flag and fall back safely when ownership data is missing. One narrow gap remains. Reviewer choices that people made before actor attribution existed are not recognized as human edits, so later research could replace them. This gap is limited to older reports and is simple to close; the change is otherwise mergeable. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

454-459: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winDetect legacy human reviewer edits with NULL
actor_kind.
actor_kindwas added as a nullable field afterSignalReportArtefactalready hadcreated_by, with no backfill. A pre-migration human edit can therefore havecreated_byset andactor_kind=NULL. The current filter misses that row, so a later research pass can append a newer reviewer artefact and override the human choice. Match NULLactor_kindrows only whencreated_byis set; this excludes agent-attributed rows.🐛 Suggested fix
- human_selected_reviewers = SignalReportArtefact.objects.filter( - team_id=team_id, - report_id=report_id, - type=SignalReportArtefact.ArtefactType.SUGGESTED_REVIEWERS, - actor_kind=SignalActorKind.USER, - ).exists() + human_selected_reviewers = ( + SignalReportArtefact.objects.filter( + team_id=team_id, + report_id=report_id, + type=SignalReportArtefact.ArtefactType.SUGGESTED_REVIEWERS, + ) + .filter( + Q(actor_kind=SignalActorKind.USER) + | Q(actor_kind__isnull=True, created_by__isnull=False) + ) + .exists() + )🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Medium: Repository owners can select the autostart identity
Marking every ownership-derived reviewer as is_skill_owner=False makes repository-only suggestions eligible in _resolve_autostart_assignee, which creates the full-scope implementation task with that user's ID. A contributor can name a privileged project member in CODEOWNERS or owners.yaml and trigger a report for the matching path, causing the agent to run as that member. Treat ownership-only suggestions as route-only; they should become identity-eligible only when the same login is independently verified by the commit-author resolution.
PR overviewThis pull request adds code-owner-based assignee suggestions for Signals inbox reports, using repository ownership metadata to route reports to relevant project members. One security issue remains open: a contributor who controls ownership metadata can select a privileged project member and trigger a matching report, causing an agent task to run under that member’s identity. This creates a clear privilege-escalation risk, and no reported issues have yet been addressed. Open issues (1)
