chore: retire departed code owners (apps/live, ox configs)

[mguptahub]

Description

Two CODEOWNERS entries pointed at people who have left the makeplane org. GitHub silently ignores an entry whose owner lacks write access — no warning on the file view, no CI failure, no error anywhere. The path just quietly stops requesting a reviewer.

Path	Was	Now	Effect of the stale entry
apps/live/	@Palanikannan1437	@saivallampati	No effective owner — changes requested nobody
.oxlintrc.json, .oxfmtrc.json	@sriramveeraghanta @lifeiscontent	@sriramveeraghanta	Dead token only — @sriramveeraghanta still resolved

@saivallampati is an org member and direct collaborator with write access, so the replacement entry actually resolves. @lifeiscontent is simply dropped: @sriramveeraghanta co-owns both ox configs and authored them, so those paths keep a real reviewer and no coverage gap is created. Every path in the file still has at least one owner with write access — verified against the org membership and collaborator APIs for all seven remaining owner tokens.

How this surfaced

While auditing why reviewers appear on release PRs. On #9160 (release: v1.4.0, 1506 files changed), @Palanikannan1437 was auto-requested off just 3 files under apps/live/. He still had write access when that PR opened in May 2026 — he doesn't now, which is how the gap opened without anyone noticing.

Note on timing

CODEOWNERS is read from the PR's base branch. This takes effect for PRs targeting preview once merged, and for PRs targeting master only after the next preview → master release promotion.

Type of Change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• Feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• Improvement (change that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
• Code refactoring
• Performance improvements
• Documentation update

Screenshots and Media (if applicable)

Test Scenarios

1. Open a PR against preview touching any file under apps/live/ — @saivallampati should be auto-requested.
2. Open a PR against preview touching .oxlintrc.json or .oxfmtrc.json — @sriramveeraghanta should be auto-requested, and @lifeiscontent should not appear.
3. Confirm each remaining owner has the access the entry requires (it silently no-ops otherwise):

   for u in sriramveeraghanta dheeru0198 pablohashescobar saivallampati mguptahub; do
     echo -n "$u "
     gh api repos/makeplane/plane/collaborators/$u -i | head -1   # expect 204
   done

   Note: collaborators/<user>/permission returns read for any user on a public repo — that's the anonymous baseline, not a granted role. Use the collaborators/<user> 204/404 check as authoritative.
4. Confirm GitHub reports no syntax warnings on the CODEOWNERS file view for this branch.
