feat(labels): estate label tooling + auto-triage for new issues - #75
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughAdds canonical GitHub label metadata, a jq-based issue classifier, an issue triage workflow, and a scheduled label synchronisation workflow. The automation preserves existing and frozen labels while applying canonical suggestions. ChangesIssue label automation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds automated label synchronization and issue triage, but the current head can silently fail to create labels and can add a conflicting classification after a transient label-read failure. These merge-readiness risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted; permission scope and concurrent-run failure modes are smaller follow-ups. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

💡 Result:
To create a label in the repository associated with your current directory using the GitHub CLI, you do not need to provide a repository flag; simply execute the following command [1]: gh label create [flags] By default, the gh label create command targets the repository found in the current working directory [1]. If you wish to specify a different repository—rather than the one in your current directory—you must use the -R or --repo flag with the [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format [2][3][4]. Example of creating a label in the current directory: gh label create bug --description "Something isn't working" --color E99695 [5][2] Example of creating a label in a different repository: gh label create bug --repo owner/repository --description "Something isn't working" --color E99695 [3][4]

Set the repository for both gh label write commands.
This job does not check out the repository, so gh label create and gh label edit have no repository context without --repo "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY". Their errors are suppressed, so the workflow can finish without creating or updating labels.

Ships the canonical label set and the classifier that labels newly-filed issues. Additive only: it never removes a label, never overrides a human's classification, stays silent when unsure, and 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 no actions.

Prevent concurrent label synchronisation runs.
Two runs can read the same missing label before either writes it. One run can create it, while the other records only create failures and exits at Line 101 with status 1. This produces a false workflow failure after a valid synchronisation.
