+template: Include manifest files in CODEOWNERS
+
+Our templates previously excluded `package.json` and `yarn.lock` from CODEOWNERS. This was intended to support advanced workflows such as auto-merging PRs and augmenting GitHub push notifications with custom tooling. However, we are reverting this configuration as it is more common for SEEKers to prefer a simpler CODEOWNERS-based workflow.
+
+This will not affect existing projects. If you create a new project and wish to restore the previous behaviour, you can manually extend `.github/CODEOWNERS`:
+
+```diff
+* @<%- ownerName %>
+
++ # Configured by Renovate
++ package.json
++ yarn.lock
+```
diff --git a/template/base/.github/CODEOWNERS b/template/base/.github/CODEOWNERS
