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

    • Issues can receive suggested labels automatically when opened or reopened, or through a manual trigger.
    • Repository labels are synchronised automatically, with consistent names, colours and descriptions.
    • Existing labels are preserved, while unsupported or uncertain classifications are safely skipped.
  • Chores

    • Added a structured label set covering issue type, area, priority, status, metadata and scope.
    • Added scheduled, push-triggered and manually triggered label synchronisation.

Walkthrough

This change adds a canonical GitHub label taxonomy, a jq issue classifier, and workflows for issue triage and label synchronisation. The workflows use repository-hosted configuration and operate without third-party actions.

Changes

Label automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Label taxonomy and classifier contracts
.github/label-classifier.json, .github/labels.json
Defines canonical labels, classification rules, keyword signals, tier limits, frozen labels, and precedence values.
Issue title classification
.github/scripts/classify-issue.jq
Parses issue title tags and prefixes, matches keyword signals, selects a type, applies tier limits, and emits validated suggestions.
Canonical label synchronisation
.github/workflows/labels.yml
Creates missing labels, updates mutable label metadata, skips existing frozen labels, and reports operation counts.
Issue triage workflow
.github/workflows/label-triage.yml
Classifies opened, reopened, or manually selected issues, excludes existing labels, validates suggestions, and applies labels on a best-effort basis.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 78392

This PR adds automatic issue labeling and repository label synchronization, but current behavior can silently skip synchronization, apply definitions from a non-default branch, or create conflicting or stale labels during concurrent or failed runs. Merge readiness is moderate until these bounded workflow-safety issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Poem

A rabbit checks each label bright,
jq sorts titles left and right.
Workflows fetch the rules with care,
Frozen labels stay as they are.
Fresh tags hop into place.

Pull Request Overview

The pull request establishes a sophisticated label management system, but two critical blockers remain. First, the .github/workflows/actions.lock file is missing from the diff despite the PR description stating it was updated; this will lead to immediate startup failures for the triage workflows. Second, the classify-issue.jq script contains logic that will cause it to terminate with a fatal error if an issue title does not match specific bracket or prefix patterns, violating the requirement for the system to fall back to keyword matching or remain silent. These issues should be addressed before merging to ensure the automation is functional and resilient.

About this PR

  • The 'classify-issue.jq' script carries significant maintenance risk as it lacks automated unit tests, despite handling complex logic involving regular expressions and multi-tier label priorities.
  • The triage workflow's reliance on fetching scripts via 'gh api' using '$GITHUB_SHA' may cause failures on new branches or forks where the commit has not been reconciled with the main repository history.
1 comment outside of the diff
.github/workflows/actions.lock

line 1 🟡 MEDIUM RISK
The PR description mentions that '.github/workflows/actions.lock' was updated to include these workflows, but the changes are missing from the diff. This may cause the workflows to fail immediately on execution.

Test suggestions

  • Classification of issue with bracket tag (e.g., '[docs] Update README')
  • Classification of issue with conventional commit prefix (e.g., 'fix: crash on start')
  • Classification of issue based on keyword with inflections (e.g., 'Found some failing tests')
  • Verify that existing labels in a max-1 tier (e.g., 'enhancement') prevent the classifier from adding a different label of the same tier (e.g., 'bug')
  • Verify that classification is aborted (returns empty) if no 'type' label is matched
  • Verify labels.yml creates missing labels even if they are marked as 'frozen'
  • Verify labels.yml skips updates to labels present in the 'frozen' list
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Classification of issue with bracket tag (e.g., '[docs] Update README')
2. Classification of issue with conventional commit prefix (e.g., 'fix: crash on start')
3. Classification of issue based on keyword with inflections (e.g., 'Found some failing tests')
4. Verify that existing labels in a max-1 tier (e.g., 'enhancement') prevent the classifier from adding a different label of the same tier (e.g., 'bug')
5. Verify that classification is aborted (returns empty) if no 'type' label is matched
6. Verify labels.yml creates missing labels even if they are marked as 'frozen'
7. Verify labels.yml skips updates to labels present in the 'frozen' list

Serialise triage runs for each issue.

The job reads issue labels before classification and writes labels afterwards. Overlapping runs can both read no type label, classify different titles, and add conflicting labels from the max-one type tier.

Add a job-level concurrency group keyed by repository and issue number. Set cancel-in-progress: false.

GitHub Actions workflow syntax push branches filter workflow_dispatch selected branch ref

💡 Result:

GitHub Actions provides distinct mechanisms for handling branch filtering depending on whether you are using automated triggers like push or manual triggers like workflow_dispatch. Push Event Branch Filtering For the push event, you can natively restrict workflow execution to specific branches using the branches or branches-ignore filters in your workflow YAML file [1][2]. These filters accept glob patterns [3][4]. Example: on: push: branches: - 'main' - 'releases/' - '!releases/old-*' Manual workflow_dispatch Trigger The workflow_dispatch event does not support native branch filtering in the workflow YAML configuration [5][6]. When a workflow is configured with workflow_dispatch, it is available to be triggered manually via the GitHub UI, API, or CLI on any branch, provided that the workflow file exists on the default branch of the repository [7][5][8]. Restricting workflow_dispatch to Specific Branches Since workflow_dispatch lacks built-in branch filters, you can use the following methods to restrict execution: 1. Job-level Conditional Logic: Use the if conditional at the job level to check the github.ref context and exit or skip the job if it is not on a desired branch [6]. jobs: example-job: if: github.event_name!= 'workflow_dispatch' || github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' runs-on: ubuntu-latest... 2. Environment Protection Rules: Define an environment (e.g., production) in your repository settings and configure Deployment Branches to only allow runs from selected branches or patterns [6]. By assigning this environment to your job, GitHub will prevent the job from running if the trigger branch does not match the environment's allowed branches [6]. Specifying the Branch (ref) When triggering a workflow manually: - GitHub UI: You are prompted to select a branch from a dropdown menu [7][8]. - GitHub CLI: Use the --ref flag, e.g., gh workflow run <workflow_id> --ref <branch_name> [7][8]. - REST API: Include the ref parameter in the request body [9][8]. Note: The workflow file must be present on the target branch for that specific ref to be valid for a manual execution in many contexts, though the trigger itself requires the workflow file to be defined on the default branch [7][5][8].

Citations:


Restrict synchronisation to the default branch.

The unfiltered push trigger can start this workflow for .github/labels.json changes on any branch. The job fetches that branch’s file at $GITHUB_SHA and can create or edit labels with issues: write. workflow_dispatch also permits a selected non-default ref. Add a job condition that allows only refs/heads/${{ github.event.repository.default_branch }}.

GitHub CLI gh label create --repo GH_REPO repository selection documentation

💡 Result:

In the GitHub CLI (gh), the --repo flag allows you to specify a target repository for the gh label create command [1][2]. By default, if the --repo flag is not provided, the command operates on the repository located in the current directory [3][4]. When using the --repo flag, you must provide the repository in the format [HOST/]OWNER/REPO [1][5]. For example, to create a label in a repository other than the current one, you can use the following syntax: gh label create --repo <OWNER/REPO> --description "Description" --color <hex_code> This flag is inherited from the parent gh label command, meaning it is available across all subcommands within the label group, such as gh label list, gh label delete, and gh label clone [5][3].

Citations:


Pass the target repository to gh label.

This job does not check out the repository, and gh label defaults to the repository inferred from the current directory. Neither command specifies --repo, so both operations can fail. Redirected errors allow the step to report success without synchronising labels. Pass --repo "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" to both commands.

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.

20-26: Restrict synchronisation to the default branch.

push can run this workflow from any branch that changes .github/labels.json. workflow_dispatch can also run it from a selected non-default branch. The workflow then applies that ref’s label definitions to the repository. Add a job condition for refs/heads/${{ github.event.repository.default_branch }}.


20-26: Serialise synchronisation runs.

An older run can finish after a newer run and restore obsolete label definitions. Add a stable concurrency group with cancel-in-progress: true.

.github/workflows/label-triage.yml (1)

47-48: Serialise runs for the same issue.

This remains unresolved from the previous review. The triage job has no concurrency group. Overlapping runs can read HAVE before another run or a human adds a type label, then add a second label from the same max-one tier. Add a job-level group keyed by repository and issue number, with cancel-in-progress: false.

Stop after a failed label read.

If gh issue view --json labels returns non-zero, HAVE becomes []. classify-issue.jq then does not lock max-one tiers or exclude existing labels. The workflow may add a conflicting label beside a human-applied label. Exit successfully without applying labels when the read fails. Use [] only after a successful empty response.

successfully before classification or label application. Only assign HAVE to []
for a successful response that is empty, preserving existing-label and
max-one-tier protections.
