| name | owner-inference |
| description | Infer a suspected owner for a failing test file using CODEOWNERS, git blame, recent commits, and an override map. |
Purpose
Deterministic heuristic to identify the likely owner of a failing test file. Used by triage's check_or_create_critical_issue to populate "suspected owner" in new issues.
When to use
When triage creates a critical test-failure item and needs an owner.
Inputs / Outputs
Input: JSON payload { repo_path: ".", file_path: "tests/test_foo.py", commit?: "abc123", confidence_threshold?: 0.3 }
Output: { assignee: string, confidence: 0.0-1.0, reason: string, heuristic: string }
Heuristics (in priority order)
- Override map —
.worklog/triage/owner-map.yaml
- CODEOWNERS — GitHub-style file
- Git blame — most frequent author by line count
- Recent commits — most frequent committer (last 50 commits)
- Fallback —
Build with confidence 0.0
