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 automated issue labelling based on issue titles, tags and keywords when issues are opened or reopened.
    • Added a standardised catalogue of repository labels with descriptions, colours and categories.
    • Added automatic label synchronisation, including scheduled, change-triggered and manual updates.
    • Existing labels are preserved, while missing or changed labels are updated safely.
    • Added support for manually re-running issue classification when needed.
    • Classification remains silent when no confident match is found, avoiding incorrect labels.

Walkthrough

The change adds a generated label catalogue, a JSON classifier taxonomy, a jq classification engine, and GitHub Actions workflows for label synchronisation and issue triage.

Changes

Label automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Label taxonomy and classifier rules
.github/labels.json, .github/label-classifier.json
Defines 38 labels, frozen labels, classification rules, tier limits, allowed types, and precedence values.
Issue classification engine
.github/scripts/classify-issue.jq
Normalises issue titles, resolves prefixes and bracket tags, detects keyword signals, enforces tier limits, and returns applicable labels.
Repository label synchronisation
.github/workflows/labels.yml
Creates missing labels, updates colour and description drift, and skips frozen labels on manual, push, and scheduled runs.
Issue triage workflow
.github/workflows/label-triage.yml
Classifies opened or reopened issues, supports manual dispatch, and applies matching labels without removing existing labels.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 97a8c

This PR adds automatic issue classification and repository-wide label synchronization, but the current behavior can silently miss or misapply labels, race with human edits, and allow branch-controlled workflow changes to mutate the shared label set. The change needs explicit owner follow-up on these bounded correctness and permission risks before merge.

- Around line 440-466: Remove the type-tier keywords from the documentation and
testing entries in the keyword_area generator source, leaving those terms only
in keyword_type; then regenerate .github/label-classifier.json so explicit
prefixes retain classification.

In @.github/workflows/label-triage.yml:
- Around line 82-108: Refresh HAVE and re-run the classify-issue.jq classifier
immediately before gh issue edit, then filter the newly returned labels against
DEFINED as before. Use this final classification for apply so max-one tier
decisions reflect labels added during the workflow window.

In @.github/workflows/labels.yml:
- Around line 44-46: Update the labels workflow step around the gh api fetch and
PAYLOAD validation to distinguish a confirmed missing .github/labels.json from
API, network, authentication, or base64 decoding failures. Remove the
unconditional failure suppression, inspect the API result/status explicitly,
exit successfully only when the file is confirmed absent, and propagate other
failures with a non-zero status.
- Around line 20-26: Add workflow-level concurrency settings to the labels
workflow’s top-level configuration, using a stable group and enabling
cancel-in-progress so only the latest label synchronisation run proceeds. Keep
the existing workflow triggers unchanged.
- Around line 62-68: Update the label write commands in the workflow’s label
synchronization loop to pass --repo "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" to both gh label create
and gh label edit, and remove error suppression so either command failure causes
the job to fail rather than continuing silently.
- Around line 20-24: Restrict the workflow trigger in the top-level on
configuration to pushes on the repository’s default branch while retaining the
existing .github/labels.json path filter, so label synchronization cannot run
from other branches.

site:docs.github.com GitHub Actions push event path filter branches filter all branches

💡 Result:

To apply a path filter to all branches in a GitHub Actions push event, you simply omit the branches or branches-ignore filters [1][2]. When no branch filter is specified, the workflow will trigger on pushes to any branch, provided the changes match the specified paths or paths-ignore criteria [1][3]. If you define both paths/paths-ignore and branches/branches-ignore filters, the workflow will only run when both sets of conditions are satisfied [2][4]. Therefore, to ensure a path-based trigger applies across all branches, ensure your configuration does not restrict the branch scope [1][3]. Example configuration: on: push: paths: - 'path/to/files/' In this example, the workflow will trigger on any push to any branch that includes changes within the specified path [1][2].

Citations:


Restrict label synchronisation to the canonical branch.

Without a branches filter, a push to any branch that changes .github/labels.json can start this workflow. It reads that branch’s catalogue and uses issues: write to change repository-wide labels. Add a filter for the default branch or gate the job on that branch.

GitHub Actions workflow concurrency cancel-in-progress semantics running pending jobs official documentation

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, the concurrency feature manages how multiple workflow runs or jobs within the same concurrency group behave when triggered simultaneously [1][2]. The semantic behavior for pending and in-progress jobs is as follows: Running vs. Pending Jobs By default, GitHub Actions ensures that only one job or workflow in a specific concurrency group runs at any given time [1][3]. If a new run is triggered while another in the same group is already in progress, the new run is placed in a pending state [1][4]. Default Semantics (cancel-in-progress: false) When a run is queued: - If another job/workflow in the same group is currently running, the new run enters a pending state [1][4]. - By default (or when cancel-in-progress is false), if there is already a pending run in that group, it is canceled and replaced by the newest queued run [1][4]. - Therefore, in the default configuration, there is at most one running job and at most one pending job in any given concurrency group [5][4]. Cancel-in-progress Semantics (cancel-in-progress: true) When set to true, GitHub Actions will cancel any currently running job or workflow in that same concurrency group when a new run is queued [1][6]. It effectively prioritizes the newest run by stopping existing work in the group [1][3]. Important Considerations - Unique Group Names: If you do not specify a unique group name (e.g., using only a branch name), it may conflict with other workflows in the repository, causing unintended cancellations of unrelated workflows [1][7]. It is best practice to include identifiers like ${{ github.workflow }} in your group name if you wish to isolate concurrency to specific workflows [6][7]. - Queueing: If you require more than one pending run, you can use the queue: max property (which allows up to 100 pending runs), but this cannot be combined with cancel-in-progress: true [1][8][4]. - Expressions: You can provide expressions for cancel-in-progress to conditionally enable or disable cancellation based on context, such as only canceling on specific branches [1][5][7].

Serialise label synchronisation runs.

This workflow reads .github/labels.json at each run’s $GITHUB_SHA and applies changes through separate API calls. Concurrent runs can apply different catalogues out of order. Add a workflow-level concurrency group with cancel-in-progress: true.

Distinguish a missing catalogue from a failed fetch.

Line [45] masks every gh api or base64 -d failure. Line [46] then treats the result as a missing catalogue. Network, authentication, API, or decoding failures can therefore leave labels unsynchronised while the workflow succeeds.

Handle the API result explicitly. Exit successfully only for a confirmed missing file. Return a non-zero status for other failures.

GitHub CLI GH_REPO environment variable commands otherwise use current repository gh label create edit --repo documentation

💡 Result:

The GitHub CLI (gh) supports selecting a target repository either through the environment variable GH_REPO or via the --repo (-R) flag [1][2][3]. GH_REPO Environment Variable: You can set the GH_REPO environment variable to specify the GitHub repository in [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format [2][4]. This variable is used for commands that would otherwise operate on a local Git repository, allowing you to run gh commands against a remote repository without needing to clone it or be inside its directory [2][3]. --repo (-R) Flag: Many gh commands, including gh label create and gh label edit, accept the --repo or -R flag to explicitly target a specific repository [5][6][1]. The flag accepts the [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format and takes precedence over the GH_REPO environment variable [7][4]. Usage Examples: To create a label in a specific repository using the flag: gh label create "bug" --description "Issue" --color "FF0000" --repo "owner/repo" To edit a label using the GH_REPO environment variable: GH_REPO="owner/repo" gh label edit "bug" --color "00FF00" If neither the --repo flag is provided nor the GH_REPO environment variable is set, the GitHub CLI will attempt to infer the repository from the current directory's Git configuration [2][3].

Citations:


Target label writes explicitly and fail when they cannot run.

This job does not check out the repository. gh label create and gh label edit have no --repo or GH_REPO setting, so they cannot rely on established local repository context. Their errors are suppressed, and the loop continues. Add --repo "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" to both commands and fail the job when either command fails.

Pull Request Overview

The PR introduces a comprehensive label taxonomy and automated triage system leveraging jq to maintain a dependency-free environment. While the approach aligns with security goals (avoiding external actions and Python dependencies), there are concerns regarding the lack of automated validation for the complex JQ classification logic.

Notably, the PR description references an update to .github/workflows/actions.lock which is absent from the file changes. While Codacy indicates the PR is up to standards, the 164-line JQ script represents a high-risk area due to its complexity and the lack of included tests to verify regex inflections and precedence logic.

About this PR

  • The PR description mentions updating .github/workflows/actions.lock, but this file is missing from the provided diff. Please ensure all intended configuration changes are included.
  • The triage workflow performs file fetching via gh api and manual base64 decoding to avoid lockfile drift. While this fulfills the 'no external actions' requirement, it increases the maintenance surface of the shell script logic. Ensure this approach is documented for future maintainers.

Test suggestions

  • Keyword matching with various suffixes (pluralization, inflections) using kwrx regex logic
  • Extraction of Conventional Commit prefixes (e.g., 'feat(scope):') and mapping to labels
  • Extraction of bracketed tags (e.g., '[p1]') and mapping to priority labels
  • Enforcement of 'tier_max: 1' (e.g., ensuring an issue doesn't get two 'type' labels)
  • Suppression of classification when a human has already applied a label in a single-max tier
  • Idempotency of label synchronization workflow (handling existing vs missing labels)
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Keyword matching with various suffixes (pluralization, inflections) using kwrx regex logic
2. Extraction of Conventional Commit prefixes (e.g., 'feat(scope):') and mapping to labels
3. Extraction of bracketed tags (e.g., '[p1]') and mapping to priority labels
4. Enforcement of 'tier_max: 1' (e.g., ensuring an issue doesn't get two 'type' labels)
5. Suppression of classification when a human has already applied a label in a single-max tier
6. Idempotency of label synchronization workflow (handling existing vs missing labels)

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

Suggestion: The JQ classification logic is sophisticated, handling regex-based boundaries and linguistic inflections. Given its complexity and central role, it is critical to ensure parity tests are executed in CI. Consider creating a standalone shell test script that validates .github/scripts/classify-issue.jq against cases like 'fix: typo', '[estate] chore: cleanup', and inflections like 'tests' to prevent logic regressions.

Nitpick: The list of frozen labels is duplicated between this file (line 702) and .github/labels.json (line 241). Ensure that the source of truth for 'frozen' labels is unified in the generation scripts to prevent synchronization errors during future updates.

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.

Re-read issue labels immediately before applying the classification.

The previous review finding remains partially unresolved. HAVE is read at Line [82], then the workflow runs jq, builds apply, and calls gh issue edit at Line [114]. If a human adds a label in a max-one tier during this interval, .github/scripts/classify-issue.jq uses the stale snapshot and can add a conflicting label. Re-read the labels and re-run the classifier immediately before gh issue edit, or use a conditional update that rejects a changed label set.

Also applies to: 114-115

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Remove ambiguous area keywords.

Both entries also match a type signal. The classifier adds area signals before it resolves the type. Remove placeholder implementation produces tech-debt and scaffolding. Regression in parser produces bug and performance. Neither title proves the area, so the classifier is not silent when uncertain.

  • .github/label-classifier.json#L404-L410: remove placeholder from keyword_area.scaffolding.
  • .github/label-classifier.json#L440-L447: remove regression from keyword_area.performance.

Retry when canonical labels are not yet defined.

DEFINED is read once at Line [75]. If .github/workflows/labels.yml creates a missing canonical label after this read, the filter at Lines [94-99] drops the suggestion and Lines [100-102] exit successfully. The issue event is not retriggered by label synchronisation, so the issue remains unlabelled until manual dispatch or a later reopen. Add a bounded refresh and retry, or trigger reclassification after label synchronisation completes.

GitHub CLI gh label create behaviour when a label with the same name already exists

💡 Result:

When using the GitHub CLI (gh) to create a label, the behavior depends on whether the --force flag is used [1][2]: 1. Default Behavior: If you attempt to create a label that already exists without any additional flags, the command will fail [3][4]. You will typically receive an error message indicating a validation failure (HTTP 422: Label name already exists) [3][5]. 2. Using --force: If you include the --force flag (or -f), the command becomes idempotent [5]. In this case, if the label already exists, the GitHub CLI will update the existing label's color and description to match the values provided in your command [1][5][2]. Using --force is the recommended approach for automation scripts (such as repository bootstrap or CI processes) to ensure the command can be re-run safely without causing errors when the target label is already present [5].

Stop when the label inventory request fails.

At .github/workflows/labels.yml:58-59, gh api can return a non-zero status without stopping the step because set -e is not enabled. If it produces no inventory output, existing is empty. The loop can then attempt to create existing labels, which gh label create rejects. If one missing label is created, the final condition still allows the step to succeed.

Guard the assignment and exit when gh api fails.
