feat(labels): estate label tooling + auto-triage for new issues - #24
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe change adds a generated label taxonomy, a jq issue classifier, and two GitHub Actions workflows. One workflow synchronises labels. The other classifies new or reopened issues and adds matching labels. ChangesLabel automation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR allows unmerged branch configuration to alter repository labels and apply triage rules to real issues, while the label synchronization workflow may fail to create or edit labels because it lacks a usable repository target. Merge should be blocked until these workflow behaviors are corrected. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

GitHub CLI manual gh label create edit --repo repository selection GH_REPO local repository
💡 Result:
To manage labels in a GitHub repository using the GitHub CLI (gh), you use the gh label create and gh label edit commands [1][2]. Repository Selection By default, the GitHub CLI commands operate on the current local repository directory. To target a specific repository instead of the one in your current working directory, use the -R or --repo flag [3][4][5]. The syntax for the flag is: -R, --repo <[HOST/]OWNER/REPO> This allows you to specify the target repository in the [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format, such as owner/repo [3][4]. Note that the GitHub CLI does not support an environment variable specifically named GH_REPO to override the repository for label commands; the -R flag is the standard mechanism for explicit repository selection [3][1][4]. Commands Overview gh label create [flags] Creates a new label. You must provide a name; description and color (6-character hex value) are optional [3][6][7]. Example: gh label create bug --description "Something isn't working" --color E99695 --repo owner/repo gh label edit [flags] Updates an existing label. You can use the --name flag to rename the label [4][8]. Example: gh label edit bug --color FF0000 --repo owner/repo Example: gh label edit bug --name big-bug --description "Bigger than normal bug" --repo owner/repo For further assistance, you can refer to the official GitHub CLI manual pages for gh label create [3] and gh label edit [4].

Pass the repository to both label mutations.
This workflow has no checkout and does not set GH_REPO. Without --repo, gh label create and gh label edit cannot resolve the target repository. Their failures do not stop the loop, so missing labels and label drift remain unchanged.

Pull Request Overview
A critical runtime error exists in the reesc JQ function which will cause the triage process to fail when processing specific characters. The label synchronization workflow also contains logic that may lead to metadata corruption when handling special characters or newlines in label descriptions.
Several acceptance criteria, including tier enforcement and frozen label protection, are currently unverified due to a total lack of automated unit or integration tests for the classification logic. Furthermore, the .github/workflows/actions.lock file referenced in the PR description is missing from the changes, which contradicts the stated security requirements for estate-wide portability.
About this PR
- The classification logic in
classify-issue.jqlacks any automated unit or integration tests, leaving core scenarios like keyword matching and tier limits unverified. - The
.github/workflows/actions.lockfile is missing from this PR despite being mentioned in the description as part of the security requirements.
Test suggestions
- Classification of issues via bracket tags (e.g., [docs])
- Classification of issues via conventional commit prefixes (e.g., feat:)
- Keyword-based area and type matching logic
- Enforcement of tier limits (ensuring only one label per max-1 tier is proposed)
- Verification that existing human labels block automated suggestions for the same tier
- Verification that 'frozen' labels are skipped during synchronization
- Workflow resilience testing simulating GitHub API failures
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Classification of issues via bracket tags (e.g., [docs])
2. Classification of issues via conventional commit prefixes (e.g., feat:)
3. Keyword-based area and type matching logic
4. Enforcement of tier limits (ensuring only one label per max-1 tier is proposed)
5. Verification that existing human labels block automated suggestions for the same tier
6. Verification that 'frozen' labels are skipped during synchronization
7. Workflow resilience testing simulating GitHub API failures

🔴 HIGH RISK
The reesc function is using JQ interpolation \(.c) inside the replacement string of gsub, which will fail at runtime. To correctly escape matched characters in JQ, use the & special character to refer to the matched text.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK
Suggestion: The label sync loop is inefficient and prone to data corruption when labels contain special characters or newlines. Because read does not unescape JQ's @tsv output, descriptions containing newlines will be corrupted when updated via gh label edit. It is better to perform the comparison and command generation entirely within JQ.

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.

Use the default-branch taxonomy for live label mutations.
The push trigger runs for changes on any branch. .github/workflows/labels.yml then fetches .github/labels.json at $GITHUB_SHA, so an unmerged branch can change persistent repository labels.
A manual dispatch can select a non-default branch. .github/workflows/label-triage.yml fetches both classifier files at $GITHUB_SHA, so it can apply unmerged rules to real issues.
- Restrict
.github/workflows/labels.ymlto the default branch, or guard the job against non-default refs. - Restrict manual dispatch in
.github/workflows/label-triage.ymlto the default branch, or fetch both classifier files from the default branch.
