{
    "$comment": "Single source of truth for how project-owned entities are handled when a project's resources change owner (user deletion with transfer, LDAP reset). Read by: OwnershipTransferService consumers via ownership-transfer.manifest.ts, the manifest guard test, and the n8n-local-rules/project-owned-entity-transfer lint rule via the eslint configs of @n8n/db and cli. Adding a new project-owned entity requires an entry here: either in 'transferred' (and handling in OwnershipTransferService.transferAllResources) or in 'notTransferred' with the reason for the decision. The 'path' pins the entry to the declaring file: the lint rule rejects a same-named entity in a different file, and the guard test fails when a listed file no longer declares the entity.",
