.github/CODEOWNERS:1
- Deleting .github/CODEOWNERS removes the repo’s CODEOWNER protection for workflow changes (previously requiring
@NHSDigital/eps-adminsreview). This weakens change control for GitHub Actions; consider restoring CODEOWNERS (or moving it to the root CODEOWNERS file) so workflow edits still require the intended owners.
