Investigate and resolve the deletion of 32 files including core automation files

[earlduque]

On October 9th, 2025, around 11:30 AM Pacific, it was noticed that one of the automations to control inactive assignees was missing from the repository. It was found that that file had been deleted by a user that had maintainer access to the repository. Upon further investigation, a series of commits that happened over 32 commits rapidly deleted 32 files by the same maintainer.

The user access was removed from that person while we continued our solution to remedy and to investigate how this happened.

To undo the deletions, the following code was run and committed accordingly.

PS C:\Storage\GitHub\code-snippets> git revert --no-commit 247ccdd789d6eac7497acaa9a0e35808633c5005^..fa52e46966196d000626b6fd2488569e2c87539a
PS C:\Storage\GitHub\code-snippets> git commit -m "Revert consecutive delete commits"
