Ships the canonical label set and the classifier that labels newly-filed issues.

Additive only — never removes a label, never overrides a human's classification, silent when unsure, never fails an issue.

Also adds this repo's two new workflows to .github/workflows/actions.lock as []. That lock is keyed by workflow path and refuses any workflow it does not list — a startup_failure, which produces no check run and is therefore silent. gh actions-lock cannot add these: it records action versions, and both workflows deliberately use none.

See docs/LABELS.adoc in hyperpolymath/.git-private-farm.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added automated issue triage that applies relevant labels to newly opened or reopened issues.
    • Added repository label synchronisation to create missing labels and update label details automatically.
    • Added structured label categories covering issue type, area, priority, status, metadata, and scope.
    • Added safeguards to preserve frozen labels and avoid conflicting classifications.
  • Chores

    • Added scheduled and manually triggered workflows for label management and issue classification.
    • Added support for manually running triage on a specified issue.

Walkthrough

Adds canonical GitHub label definitions, a jq issue-title classifier, and two dependency-free workflows. The workflows synchronise labels and apply confident labels to newly opened, reopened, or manually selected issues.

Changes

Label management

Layer / File(s) Summary
Label and classifier contracts
.github/labels.json, .github/label-classifier.json
Defines 35 labels, frozen labels, classifier signals, tier limits, valid types, and precedence rules.
Issue title classification
.github/scripts/classify-issue.jq
Normalises titles, parses prefixes and tags, extracts signals, selects labels, enforces tier limits, and preserves existing labels.
Issue triage workflow
.github/workflows/label-triage.yml
Classifies opened, reopened, or manually selected issues and applies valid suggested labels through the GitHub API.
Canonical label synchronisation
.github/workflows/labels.yml
Creates missing labels, updates non-frozen label drift, preserves frozen labels, and reports operation counts.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d9848

The new automation can silently skip label synchronization, add labels to issues marked not to automate, and behave inconsistently when workflows overlap or the classifier fails. These bounded correctness and operational risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Pull Request Overview

This PR implements a robust estate-wide labeling system, but several issues must be addressed before merging. Most critically, the .github/workflows/actions.lock file is missing despite being mentioned in the PR description; this is essential for security compliance regarding external actions.

Additionally, the introduced jq logic for auto-triage lacks any automated verification. While the system is designed to be additive-only, the complexity of the classification rules requires a test suite to prevent future regressions. The label synchronization workflow also uses a fragile TSV parsing method that will fail if label descriptions contain tabs; refactoring this to use JSON is strongly recommended.

About this PR

  • The PR description mentions adding workflows to .github/workflows/actions.lock, but this file is not included in the changes. Please include the lock file to satisfy the estate policy on external action pinning.
  • No test suite is included to verify the jq classification logic. Please add the mentioned 'tests/test-classifier-parity.py' or equivalent unit tests to validate title prefix, bracket, and keyword mappings.

Test suggestions

  • Verify title prefix classification (e.g., 'feat:' maps to 'enhancement')
  • Verify bracket tag classification (e.g., '[p0]' maps to 'priority:p0')
  • Verify keyword-based area mapping (e.g., 'security' keyword maps to 'security' area)
  • Verify human-label protection (existing type label blocks bot from adding a second type)
  • Verify label sync creates missing labels and updates colors/descriptions for existing ones
  • Verify label sync respects the 'frozen' list and ignores those labels during updates
  • Verify graceful exit when GitHub API is unreachable or payloads are missing
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify title prefix classification (e.g., 'feat:' maps to 'enhancement')
2. Verify bracket tag classification (e.g., '[p0]' maps to 'priority:p0')
3. Verify keyword-based area mapping (e.g., 'security' keyword maps to 'security' area)
4. Verify human-label protection (existing type label blocks bot from adding a second type)
5. Verify label sync creates missing labels and updates colors/descriptions for existing ones
6. Verify label sync respects the 'frozen' list and ignores those labels during updates
7. Verify graceful exit when GitHub API is unreachable or payloads are missing

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

Suggestion: Processing labels via TSV is fragile if descriptions contain tabs. Consider using JSON for the comparison logic.

Try running the following prompt in your IDE agent:

In .github/workflows/labels.yml, refactor the sync job to store existing labels as a JSON object (using gh api ... --jq 'map({(.name): {color, description}} | add)') and then look up labels by key in the loop using jq instead of awk and cut on a TSV string.

Do not treat a failed label read as an empty label set.

If gh issue view --json labels fails, HAVE='[]' hides the failure. The classifier can then add bug to an issue that already has enhancement, violating the single-type-label policy. Exit without changes when the label read fails or returns no payload.

Honour status:do-not-automate as a global opt-out.

The classifier locks only the status tier. An issue with status:do-not-automate and a fix: title can therefore receive bug or area labels. Exit before classification when HAVE contains this label.

GitHub CLI gh label create edit repository selection no local repository GH_REPO --repo official manual

💡 Result:

To create a label using the GitHub CLI (gh) without needing a local Git repository, you can use the --repo flag to explicitly specify the target repository [1][2]. The command syntax is: gh label create --repo <[HOST/]OWNER/REPO> [flags] By using the -R or --repo flag, the GitHub CLI directs the command to the specified repository, bypassing the need for the current directory to be a Git repository [1][3][4]. Example command: gh label create "bug" --description "Something isn't working" --color "E99695" --repo "OWNER/REPO" Options available for this command include: -c, --color: The 6-character hexadecimal color code for the label (a random color is chosen if omitted) [1][5]. -d, --description: A description for the label [1][6]. -f, --force: Updates the label's color and description if the label name already exists [1][7]. For further details on command options, you can refer to the official documentation by running gh label create --help in your terminal or visiting the GitHub CLI manual online [1][2].

Citations:


Set the repository for both gh label commands.

This workflow has no checkout, so gh label create and gh label edit cannot select a repository from local Git metadata. GITHUB_REPOSITORY does not configure the GitHub CLI repository selector. If either command fails, && allows the loop to continue and the job can finish successfully without applying the change. Set GH_REPO: ${{ github.repository }} or pass --repo "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" to both commands.

82-85: A failed label read still becomes an empty label set, and status:do-not-automate is still ignored.

Line 83 maps any failure of gh issue view --json labels to HAVE='[]'. Line 84 repeats that fallback. The classifier then treats the issue as unlabelled and can add a second type-tier label. The script also never checks HAVE for status:do-not-automate, so an opted-out issue can still receive bug or area labels.

Add a concurrency group keyed on the issue number.

The issues triggers and workflow_dispatch can run for the same issue at the same time. Each run reads HAVE independently, so two runs can both decide that no type label is present and each add one. A per-issue concurrency group removes that overlap without changing the additive behaviour.

Keep the classifier's stderr so a broken classifier is visible.

Line 88 discards jq stderr. If the classifier or the rules file breaks, ADD is empty and the run reports "no confident classification" and exits 0. The workflow then no-ops permanently with no diagnostic. Capture stderr and print it, while keeping the exit-0 contract.

GitHub REST API create label duplicate existing label response 422 GitHub Actions concurrency group queued runs

💡 Result:

When attempting to create a label using the GitHub REST API that already exists in the repository, the API returns an HTTP 422 Unprocessable Entity status code [1][2]. The response body will contain a validation error with a code of already_exists, indicating that the label name is already in use [3][4][2]. Regarding GitHub Actions concurrency groups, the behavior for queued runs depends on the configuration of the concurrency block [5][6]: 1. Default Behavior (Single Queue Slot): By default, a concurrency group allows at most one running job and one pending (queued) job [5][7][8]. If a new workflow run is triggered while another is already queued, the existing queued run is canceled, and the new run takes its place [5][6][8]. The cancel-in-progress setting only determines whether an in-progress (running) job is canceled, not whether a queued job is replaced [6][8]. 2. Queued Runs with queue: max: As of May 2026, GitHub now supports allowing multiple pending jobs to wait in line within the same concurrency group [7]. By setting queue: max in your concurrency block, you can allow up to 100 jobs to be queued sequentially rather than being canceled [5][7]. This configuration cannot be combined with cancel-in-progress: true, as they describe conflicting behaviors [5][6].

Serialise sync executions.

existing is read once before the mutation loop. If overlapping runs both observe a missing label, the second gh label create call can receive 422 already_exists. If no mutation succeeds in that run, the final condition exits with status 1 even though the required state exists. Add a job-level concurrency group scoped to ${{ github.repository }} with cancel-in-progress: false.

Fail on payload fetch errors

At .github/workflows/labels.yml:52, || true suppresses gh api and base64 failures. Line 53 then treats an empty payload as a missing file and exits successfully. Distinguish a confirmed missing file from authentication, API, and decoding errors. Propagate the latter so label synchronisation cannot report a false success.
