Fix repolinter ruleset and add missing LICENSE + CODEOWNERS

[Copilot]

The repolinter ruleset was invalid JSON (trailing comma) and two of its three rules were failing due to missing LICENSE and CODEOWNERS files.

Changes

config/repolinter-ruleset.json

• Remove trailing comma after codeowners-file-exists block (was breaking JSON parsing)
• Update $schema from stale prototypicalpro/repolinter → canonical todogroup/repolinter
• Replace broken codeowners-file-exists fix text (was a docs URL) with a valid owners string:

  "text": "* @marekdkropiewnicki-dotcom\n"

  { "inline": ... } is not a supported schema variant in repolinter 0.12; plain string is equivalent

New files

• LICENSE — MIT, 2026, marekdkropiewnicki-dotcom; first line is MIT License (required by license-file-is-MIT content check)
• CODEOWNERS — * @marekdkropiewnicki-dotcom at repo root (matched by the CODEOWNERS* glob in codeowners-file-exists)

Original prompt

Goal

Resolve all failing rules from config/repolinter-ruleset.json and fix issues in the ruleset itself.

Current repolinter results (against main)

Rule	Level	Status
license-file-is-MIT	warning	❌ FAIL — no LICENSE/COPYING file
readme-file-exists	warning	✅ PASS
codeowners-file-exists	warning	❌ FAIL — no CODEOWNERS file

In addition, the ruleset file config/repolinter-ruleset.json is invalid JSON (trailing comma) so repolinter cannot load it.

Required changes

1. Fix config/repolinter-ruleset.json

• Remove the trailing comma after the codeowners-file-exists rule block (currently around line 65) so the rules object is valid JSON.
• Update the $schema URL from the renamed prototypicalpro/repolinter repo to the canonical todogroup/repolinter location:
  • From: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/prototypicalpro/repolinter/master/rulesets/schema.json
  • To: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/todogroup/repolinter/master/rulesets/schema.json
• Improve the codeowners-file-exists fix so it writes a valid CODEOWNERS body instead of a docs URL. Replace its fix.options.text with an inline template, e.g.:

  "text": { "inline": "* @marekdkropiewnicki-dotcom\n" }

• Do NOT change rule levels, globs, or policy URLs beyond what is described above.
• Ensure the resulting file is valid JSON (run python -m json.tool < config/repolinter-ruleset.json or equivalent).

2. Add LICENSE (MIT) at repo root

Create a standard MIT license file. Use the current year (2026) and marekdkropiewnicki-dotcom as the copyright holder. The file MUST contain the literal string MIT License on the first line so the license-file-is-MIT rule passes.

3. Add CODEOWNERS at repo root

Create a CODEOWNERS file at the repo root with the following content:

# Default owners for everything in the repo.
* @marekdkropiewnicki-dotcom

This will satisfy the codeowners-file-exists rule (which globs CODEOWNERS*, */CODEOWNERS*, .github/CODEOWNERS*).

Acceptance criteria

• config/repolinter-ruleset.json parses as valid JSON.
• $schema points to todogroup/repolinter.
• codeowners-file-exists fix uses an inline text template producing a valid CODEOWNERS body.
• LICENSE exists at repo root, starts with MIT License, and uses 2026 / marekdkropiewnicki-dotcom.
• CODEOWNERS exists at repo root with * @marekdkropiewnicki-dotcom.
• Running repolinter against the updated ruleset would PASS all three rules.

Out of scope

• Adding GitHub Actions workflow for repolinter (can be a follow-up).
• Editing README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, SECURITY.md, AGENTS.md, or profile/.

The following is the prior conversation context from the user's chat exploration (may be truncated):

User: @

Assistant: It looks like your message got cut off at the end with just "@" — did you mean to mention someone or ask a specific question?

How can I help you with the marekdkropiewnicki-dotcom/.github repository? For example, I could:

• Run/explain repolinter results against config/repolinter-ruleset.json
• Update CONTRIBUTING.md to remove the broken script/bootstrap / script/cibuild references (since they don't exist)
• Review or edit any of the community health files (README.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, SECURITY.md, profile/README.md)
• Open a PR with Markdown changes

Let me know what you'd like to do.

User: Run/explain repolinter results against config/repolinter-ruleset.json

Assistant: # Repolinter results for marekdkropiewnicki-dotcom/.github

I can't actually execute repolinter here, but I simulated the three rules defined in [config/repolinter-ruleset.json](https://github.com/marekdkropiewnicki-dotcom/.github/blob/main/config/repolinter-rules...

Pull request overview

This pull request fixes the organization-level repolinter ruleset so it can be parsed/used correctly and adds the missing repository root files required to satisfy the existing repolinter policy checks.

Changes:

• Correct config/repolinter-ruleset.json JSON validity (remove trailing comma) and update the $schema URL to the canonical todogroup/repolinter location.
• Update the codeowners-file-exists rule’s autofix to write a valid CODEOWNERS body instead of a documentation URL.
• Add missing root-level LICENSE (MIT) and CODEOWNERS files to satisfy failing repolinter rules.

Risk: Very Low — Approved

Scope: Config and documentation only in a meta .github repo with no application code.

What changed (verified from diff, not PR description):

• config/repolinter-ruleset.json: removes a trailing comma (fixes invalid JSON), updates $schema to the canonical todogroup/repolinter URL, and replaces a broken docs-URL text with a literal "* @marekdkropiewnicki-dotcom " for the codeowners-file-exists fix.
• LICENSE: standard MIT, first line MIT License, 2026 / marekdkropiewnicki-dotcom.
• CODEOWNERS: single line * @marekdkropiewnicki-dotcom.

Why Very Low:

• No production code, infra, auth, billing, or shared-service changes.
• Total diff is +26/-3 across 3 files, all scoped to repo policy/community-health files.
• Adding a CODEOWNERS from scratch in a personal meta repo just establishes the repo owner as default owner; this is not a meaningful change to existing review routing.
• Validated locally that the new ruleset parses as JSON.

Reviewers: None assigned (Very Low risk; no review required).
