Addition of CODEOWNERS file with single owner · confidence: 0.60

A new CODEOWNERS file has been added that designates @automationpi as the sole code owner for all files. This is a governance change that will automatically request review from this user on all PRs. Without historical context about the project's review practices and team structure, this represents a significant shift in who has approval authority. Confirm that @automationpi has appropriate permissions and that this aligns with the project's intended governance model.

ℹ️ Related context

• Documentation expansion regarding data privacy and storage (confidence: 0.50): The README has been substantially expanded with a new 'Where your data lives' section that explicitly addresses data storage, privacy, and deployment options (Tier 0/1, Tier 2 with Qdrant Cloud, and self-hosted Qdrant). This is a significant clarification of the product's data handling and deployment model. The addition claims 'no telemetry', 'no call-home', and explicitly positions the tool for regulated industries. If these claims conflict with any previous architectural decisions about data collection, analytics, or telemetry capabilities, this could be problematic.
• Minor code style improvements in test file (confidence: 0.90): The test file has been cleaned up with minor style improvements: removal of unused imports (asyncio, json, subprocess, threading, time, HTTPServer, BaseHTTPRequestHandler, AsyncMock, MagicMock, patch, QdrantStore, ChunkPayload), f-string simplification (where variables are not used), and import statement formatting. These are non-functional improvements that align with code quality best practices.
