File type detection — CODEOWNERS files are recognized as codeowners language, so formatting and linting tools (e.g. ESLint with a custom parser) can be configured to validate them via eslint.validate.
Status bar — shows the code owners of the currently open file. Hover to see details (section, optional). Click to open a quick pick with all owners (selecting one copies its name to the clipboard).
Section folding — sections fold from their header to the next section; trailing blank lines and comments stay visible so they remain attached to the section that follows.
Zero runtime dependencies — parsing is done in-house, without @gitlab/codeowners.
