fix(codeowners): substitute the un-instantiated {{OWNER}} placeholder - #56

Conversation
CODEOWNERS carried the literal `@{{OWNER}}`. GitHub's own validator
(/repos/{owner}/{repo}/codeowners/errors) reports every such rule as
'Invalid owner', which means the file assigns NO code owners at all -- and any
ruleset with require_code_owner_review becomes unsatisfiable, since a review
from a non-existent owner can never arrive.
This is not a template artefact here: `just init` performs a repo-wide brace-token
substitution and simply never ran for this repo. Measured estate-wide 2026-07-29:
54 repos carried the placeholder, of which 2 are genuine templates where it is
CORRECT and are deliberately untouched.
Substituted with the repo's actual owner (hyperpolymath).
