Owner

The general rule: bot-owned repos (brain, website, anything else
under <BOT_USER>/) are Igor's internal infrastructure, not target
code. Maintenance is for repos Igor was given to collaborate on, not
his own stuff. Tier 3 (self-directed website work) is the venue for
website touches; brain has no audit surface to speak of.

Fix: maintenance_eligible bails immediately if the repo owner
matches BOT_USER. Done before the onboarding-ticket and cooldown
checks since it's the cheapest predicate.

Cost-watcher's note: the brain tick that triggered this fix already
fired a Claude invocation. Won't happen again post-merge.

Tier 2 picked igor/brain for a maintenance pass -- Igor auditing his own notes repo. Auto-detect saw package.json (markdownlint-cli) and decided "Node project, run npm audit." Burns API tokens producing zero useful signal. The general rule: bot-owned repos (brain, website, anything else under <BOT_USER>/) are Igor's internal infrastructure, not target code.
