OpenAI Codex generated this pull request. External contributors cannot apply repository labels, so a maintainer will need to add llm-generated.

Why:

Fixes #41324

The billing conditions currently imply that any personal fork of an organization repository can produce an organization-paid codespace. The issue confirms that this applies only to organization-owned forks.

What's being changed:

The reusable now says that a codespace can come from an organization's repository or an organization-owned fork. This keeps personal forks owned by outside collaborators out of the organization-paid case.

SME review needed: Please confirm the billing boundary in the edited second bullet. The wording follows the engineer-backed suggestion in #41324.

Validation:

  • npm run lint-content -- --paths data/reusables/codespaces/when-an-org-pays.md
  • npm run build
  • CHANGED_FILES=content/codespaces/managing-codespaces-for-your-organization/choosing-who-owns-and-pays-for-codespaces-in-your-organization.md npm run test -- src/content-render/tests/render-changed-and-deleted-files.ts
