Owner

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.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added automatic labelling for newly opened or reopened issues, with support for manual classification.
    • Added a standardised set of issue labels covering type, area, priority, status, metadata and scope.
    • Added scheduled and on-demand synchronisation of repository labels, including updates to label colours and descriptions.
  • Improvements

    • Existing labels are preserved, while frozen labels are protected from automated changes.
    • Labelling continues safely when issue data or configuration is unavailable.

Walkthrough

Adds a generated label taxonomy, a jq-based issue classifier, and two GitHub Actions workflows. One workflow synchronises repository labels. The other classifies and adds labels to issues.

Changes

Label automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Label taxonomy and classification contract
.github/labels.json, .github/label-classifier.json
Defines 38 labels across six tiers, classification rules, keyword mappings, precedence, tier limits, supported types, and frozen labels.
Issue classification engine
.github/scripts/classify-issue.jq
Matches bracket tags, conventional-commit prefixes, keywords, and signals. It applies precedence, tier limits, existing-label protection, and canonical-label filtering.
Canonical label synchronisation
.github/workflows/labels.yml
Fetches the canonical label data, creates missing labels, updates non-frozen drift, skips present frozen labels, and does not delete labels.
Automated issue triage
.github/workflows/label-triage.yml
Classifies opened, reopened, or manually selected issues and applies valid labels additively. It handles unavailable payloads and label-application failures without failing the workflow.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fd709

This change adds automatic label synchronization and issue triage, but failed reads can still cause partial synchronization or labeling without the existing label set, missing configuration fields can silently skip classification, overlapping runs can leave stale metadata, and workflow-wide write permissions are broader than necessary. These are bounded risks requiring owner awareness and follow-up, but the supplied evidence does not indicate a release-blocking failure.

Pull Request Overview

This PR implements a robust, dependency-free label management and issue triage system. While the solution is ingenious and aligns with strict environment policies, it introduces high logic complexity in .github/scripts/classify-issue.jq which is currently uncovered by tests. Although Codacy identifies the PR as up to standards, the absence of unit tests for the classification regex and inflection rules poses a regression risk.

A key discrepancy was noted: the PR description mentions updating actions.lock, but this file is missing from the changeset. Furthermore, while the system is designed to be 'silent when unsure', the current implementation of the triage and sync workflows may over-suppress errors, making legitimate API or permission failures difficult to diagnose.

About this PR

  • The PR description indicates that actions.lock was updated, but the file is missing from the PR. Please ensure it is committed to maintain compliance with repository locking policies.

Test suggestions

  • Missing recommended test scenario: Classifier correctly identifies 'documentation' type from a 'docs:' title prefix
  • Missing recommended test scenario: Classifier identifies 'scope:estate' from an '[estate]' bracket tag
  • Missing recommended test scenario: Enforce tier-max limits: Classifier refuses to add a 'bug' label if the issue already has an 'enhancement' label
  • Missing recommended test scenario: Sync workflow updates color and description for existing labels matching the canonical set
  • Missing recommended test scenario: Sync workflow skips labels listed in the 'frozen' array to prevent breaking automation dependencies
  • Missing recommended test scenario: Classifier returns an empty set when no high-confidence match is found (silent when unsure)
  • Create a test suite for .github/scripts/classify-issue.jq covering edge cases like keywords appearing as substrings and correct precedence.
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Missing recommended test scenario: Classifier correctly identifies 'documentation' type from a 'docs:' title prefix
2. Missing recommended test scenario: Classifier identifies 'scope:estate' from an '[estate]' bracket tag
3. Missing recommended test scenario: Enforce tier-max limits: Classifier refuses to add a 'bug' label if the issue already has an 'enhancement' label
4. Missing recommended test scenario: Sync workflow updates color and description for existing labels matching the canonical set
5. Missing recommended test scenario: Sync workflow skips labels listed in the 'frozen' array to prevent breaking automation dependencies
6. Missing recommended test scenario: Classifier returns an empty set when no high-confidence match is found (silent when unsure)
7. Create a test suite for .github/scripts/classify-issue.jq covering edge cases like keywords appearing as substrings and correct precedence.
Low confidence findings
  • The triage workflow's reliance on fetching script content via gh api using $GITHUB_SHA could fail in shallow clones or restricted permission environments. While the graceful exit is intended, consider logging a warning when a fetch fails so that missing triage actions can be diagnosed.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

The classification logic is sophisticated and functions as a high-risk component for estate-wide automation. It currently lacks unit tests to verify accuracy across different title formats (Conventional Commits, bracketed tags) and to ensure tier-max limits are respected. It is strongly recommended to create a test suite for this script to prevent regressions in inflection and precedence rules.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

Suggestion: The sync loop suppresses all error output, which will make debugging difficult if the label sync fails. Also, you can avoid forking awk approximately 240 times by using a Bash associative array to map existing labels for faster and more idiomatic lookups.

Try running the following prompt in your coding agent:

Refactor the sync job in .github/workflows/labels.yml to remove >/dev/null 2>&1 from the gh commands, and use a Bash associative array to map existing labels.

⚪ LOW RISK

Suggestion: The fetch step suppresses errors from gh api. If the token lacks contents: read permissions or the path is incorrect, the workflow will exit silently with 'nothing to do', making it hard to identify why auto-triage isn't working.

Guard keyword_type against absence.

kwtype calls to_entries on $R.keyword_type without a fallback. If a non-empty payload omits keyword_type, jq can fail when the classification path reaches kwtype; the workflow suppresses the error and treats empty output as “no confident classification”. Use ($R.keyword_type // {}) | to_entries[].

Add a concurrency group keyed by the issue number.

opened and reopened events, plus a manual dispatch, can run for the same issue at the same time. The step reads the labels and then edits them, so two runs can both propose a type label. A concurrency group serialises runs per issue and removes that overlap. Do not cancel in progress runs, because a cancelled run leaves the issue partly labelled.

Move the permissions to the job, and document them.

The workflow grants issues: write at workflow level. Only the triage job needs it. Scope the grant to the job to satisfy least privilege, and add a short comment that explains each grant. This also clears the two zizmor findings.

Prevent overlapping sync runs from restoring stale label metadata.

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.

42-44: Scope permissions to the triage job.

The workflow still grants write permissions at workflow scope. This duplicates the existing review finding.


59-62: Keep fetch failures visible in the run log.

The fetch commands still suppress gh api errors. This duplicates the existing review finding.

.github/workflows/labels.yml (1)

20-26: 🟡 Minor

Add concurrency controls for label updates.

Overlapping runs of the label synchronization workflow can allow an older run to restore label metadata from an older revision after a newer run completes. The issue triage workflow also permits overlapping runs for the same issue. Add workflow-level concurrency for synchronization and issue-scoped concurrency for triage.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Fail closed when existing labels cannot be read.

A failed existing-label read can leave incomplete baseline data while the workflow continues mutating labels. In the issue triage workflow, converting a failed read to an empty list can also add a classifier label without preserving the actual existing labels. Refuse to mutate when the read fails or returns an empty payload.
