chore(repo): add CODEOWNERS for runtime ABI, CI, and release tooling

[jacekradko]

Adds a .github/CODEOWNERS (the repo has none today) covering the surfaces where an unreviewed change is most expensive, all owned by @clerk/team-sdk:

• the hotload-boundary runtime files that ship to consumer apps without a version bump (clerk-js/src/core/clerk.ts, react/src/isomorphicClerk.ts, ui/src/contexts/), the surface AGENTS.md calls a contract;
• the things that decide how every PR is built, gated, and published: .github/workflows/, the CODEOWNERS file itself, and the changeset config/changelog.

Per-PR changeset entries (.changeset/*.md) are deliberately left unowned so they don't force a review on every PR.

This only routes review requests until require_code_owner_reviews is enabled on main; that branch-protection flip is a separate follow-up after this lands. Empty changeset since it's repo-level config.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Updated code ownership configuration to clarify ownership for runtime surfaces, workflow/CI, and release-tooling areas.
  • Added a small changeset metadata file noting a hotload boundary for release tracking.

nudging tags where the boundary shines.
Small hops in code, tidy and spry—
guardians set beneath the sky. 🐇"

Warning

Review ran into problems

🔥 Problems

Stopped waiting for pipeline failures after 30000ms. One of your pipelines takes longer than our 30000ms fetch window to run, so review may not consider pipeline-failure results for inline comments if any failures occurred after the fetch window. Increase the timeout if you want to wait longer or run a @coderabbit review after the pipeline has finished.
