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
    • Added automatic issue labelling when issues are opened or reopened.
    • Added support for manually classifying individual issues.
    • Added synchronisation of the repository’s standard issue labels, including colours and descriptions.
  • Improvements
    • Existing labels are preserved, while uncertain classifications are left unchanged.
    • Label updates run automatically on relevant configuration changes and on a regular schedule.
    • Legacy labels remain protected from unintended changes.
    • Label operations now report clear creation, update, skip and failure results.

Walkthrough

Adds a canonical GitHub label registry, a jq issue classifier, and two workflows. The workflows classify issues and synchronise repository labels while preserving existing and frozen labels.

Changes

Label automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Label taxonomy and classifier payload
.github/label-classifier.json, .github/labels.json
Defines label mappings, keyword signals, valid types, tier limits, precedence, frozen labels, and canonical label metadata.
Issue title classification
.github/scripts/classify-issue.jq
Parses title prefixes and bracket tags, matches keywords, enforces tier limits, and emits new canonical labels.
Issue triage workflow
.github/workflows/label-triage.yml
Retrieves classifier data, protects existing labels, validates suggestions, and applies labels for issue events or manual dispatch.
Canonical label synchronisation
.github/workflows/labels.yml
Creates missing labels, updates mutable label drift, skips existing frozen labels, and reports mutation results.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 6c832

The new label automation can silently fail, partially synchronize labels, apply changes from an unintended branch, or assign conflicting classifications during concurrent updates; one workflow also lacks a reliable repository target. These issues can leave repository labels incorrect or incomplete, so the PR should not merge until the automation is made fail-safe and race-resistant.

Poem

A rabbit sorts labels in neat little rows
New rules hop forward wherever code goes
Frozen names stay safe in their burrow below
jq reads each title and tells what to show
Workflows keep labels in step as they grow

Pull Request Overview

The triage system successfully implements the canonical label taxonomy without external dependencies, and Codacy results indicate the code is up to standards. However, several critical issues must be addressed before merging. Most significantly, the update to .github/workflows/actions.lock is missing, which will lead to startup failures in environments enforcing the lock. Additionally, the classification logic in classify-issue.jq is highly complex and lacks the automated test suite referenced in its own comments. The absence of these tests and the generation scripts mentioned in the PR description creates a significant maintenance gap and prevents verification of the triage logic against potential misclassifications.

About this PR

  • The repository is missing the maintenance and testing scripts referenced in the codebase. Without 'scripts/gen-classifier-json.py', the estate-wide taxonomy cannot be easily updated, and the absence of 'tests/test-classifier-parity.py' prevents validating the JQ logic against the intended corpus.

Test suggestions

  • Verify 'feat:' prefix results in an 'enhancement' label application.
  • Verify '[security]' bracket tag results in the 'security' area label.
  • Confirm inflections like 'tests' or 'testing' correctly match the 'test' keyword.
  • Ensure an issue already labeled 'bug' by a human is not labeled 'enhancement' by automation even if the title matches.
  • Verify tier enforcement (e.g., only the highest-precedence Priority label is applied if multiple match).
  • Confirm label sync workflow creates missing labels but skips modifying 'frozen' labels.
  • Validate that the triage workflow exits gracefully without failing the check run if the GH API returns a 404.
  • Automate validation of '.github/scripts/classify-issue.jq' logic against a corpus of title/label mappings.
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify 'feat:' prefix results in an 'enhancement' label application.
2. Verify '[security]' bracket tag results in the 'security' area label.
3. Confirm inflections like 'tests' or 'testing' correctly match the 'test' keyword.
4. Ensure an issue already labeled 'bug' by a human is not labeled 'enhancement' by automation even if the title matches.
5. Verify tier enforcement (e.g., only the highest-precedence Priority label is applied if multiple match).
6. Confirm label sync workflow creates missing labels but skips modifying 'frozen' labels.
7. Validate that the triage workflow exits gracefully without failing the check run if the GH API returns a 404.
8. Automate validation of '.github/scripts/classify-issue.jq' logic against a corpus of title/label mappings.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

Suggestion: The 'classify-issue.jq' script implements sophisticated logic for automated triage but lacks a test suite. Since this file is complex and lacks automated coverage, the risk of misclassification is high. Consider adding a test script that validates issue titles against expected labels in CI.

⚪ LOW RISK

The 'bracket' function is limited to capturing a single leading tag. If the project uses multiple bracketed signals in titles (e.g., '[area][type]'), only the first will be processed. Consider updating the logic to recursively strip and collect all leading brackets.

Suggestion: Silencing stderr with '2>/dev/null' during label creation and updates makes it difficult to diagnose API validation failures. Consider removing the redirection to ensure errors are visible in the workflow logs.

GitHub CLI gh label create edit repository resolution current directory --repo GH_REPO official manual

💡 Result:

To create a label in a GitHub repository using the GitHub CLI (gh), use the gh label create command [1][2]. By default, the GitHub CLI automatically targets the repository associated with your current working directory [3]. If you need to target a different repository, you can use the --repo flag [4][3]. Command Syntax: gh label create [flags] Examples: 1. Create a label in the current directory's repository: gh label create "bug" --description "Something isn't working" --color "E99695" [1][2] 2. Create a label in a specific, different repository: gh label create "feature" --repo "OWNER/REPO" --color "00FF00" [4][3] Available Options: -c, --color : Sets the 6-character hex color for the label [1][2]. If omitted, a random color is selected [1][5]. -d, --description : Adds a description to the label [1][6]. -f, --force: Updates the label's color and description if the label already exists [1][6]. -R, --repo <[HOST/]OWNER/REPO>: Specifies the target repository using the [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format [4][3]. For further assistance, you can view the manual page by running gh label create --help in your terminal [3].

🌐 Web query:

site:cli.github.com/manual GH_REPO environment variable repository current directory GitHub CLI

💡 Result:

The GH_REPO environment variable is used in the GitHub CLI to specify a GitHub repository [1]. When set, it allows you to run commands that typically require being inside a local git repository—or having a default repository configured—from any directory [1]. Key details: - Format: It expects the repository to be specified in [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format [1]. - Functionality: It acts as an override or a fallback, allowing GitHub CLI commands to operate on the specified repository even when the current working directory is not a git repository or does not have a configured default repository [1][2]. - Use Case: This is particularly useful for scripting, automation, or performing actions on a remote repository without needing to clone or navigate to a local directory [1][2].

Citations:


Set the repository for label mutations.

gh label create and gh label edit use the current working directory unless --repo or GH_REPO is set. This job does not check out the repository or set GH_REPO. Both commands therefore fail, while the suppressed errors leave missing or drifted labels unchanged.

Ships the canonical label set and the classifier that labels newly-filed

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.

Fail closed and revalidate labels before applying suggestions.

When the existing-label read fails, HAVE becomes []. The classifier can then add a second label in a max-1 tier, such as bug beside a human enhancement. The same conflict can occur if a human or another workflow adds a label between Line 82 and Line 114. Stop when the read fails, then re-read and revalidate labels immediately before gh issue edit; serialise runs for the same issue.

GitHub Actions workflow events github.sha push github.ref workflow_dispatch repository.default_branch documentation

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, the behavior of context variables and workflow events is defined as follows: github.sha The github.sha context property represents the commit SHA that triggered the workflow run [1][2]. Its value depends on the event that triggered the workflow (e.g., for a push event, it is the SHA of the tip commit of the push) [1][3][4]. github.ref The github.ref context property provides the fully-formed Git reference (branch or tag) that triggered the workflow run [1][3]. - For push events, this is the branch or tag ref that was pushed (e.g., refs/heads/main) [1][3]. - It is only set if a branch or tag is available for the event type [1][3]. workflow_dispatch The workflow_dispatch event allows you to manually trigger a workflow [5]. Key requirements and behaviors include: - The workflow file must exist on the repository's default branch for this trigger to be recognized [6][5]. - You can optionally define inputs within the workflow file to be passed during execution [6][7]. - Workflows can be triggered manually via the GitHub UI, GitHub CLI, or the REST API [5]. - When using the REST API to trigger a workflow, you must specify the ref (the branch or tag) where the workflow should run [8][5]. repository.default_branch While not a direct context variable, the default branch is significant because certain triggers, such as workflow_dispatch, require the workflow file to be present on the default branch to function [6][5]. The repository's default branch configuration is managed within the repository settings on GitHub. Summary of interaction When a workflow is triggered, github.sha and github.ref reflect the specific state and reference that initiated the run [1][3]. For manual workflow_dispatch triggers, these values correspond to the ref you specify when initiating the manual run [8][5].

Restrict label mutations to the default branch.

The push trigger has no branch filter. The workflow reads .github/labels.json at $GITHUB_SHA, which is the pushed commit. A feature-branch push can apply an unmerged registry to the repository. workflow_dispatch can also run against a non-default branch.

Add a job-level guard that compares github.ref with github.event.repository.default_branch, or read the registry from the default branch.

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

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, the concurrency feature limits execution within a defined group to ensure that at most one job or workflow is running at any given time [1][2][3]. The behavior regarding pending and running runs is as follows: Running Jobs: When a new job or workflow is triggered for a concurrency group that is already in use, the new run will wait in a pending state. Whether an existing running job is terminated depends on the cancel-in-progress configuration [1][4]. - If cancel-in-progress is set to true, any currently running job in that concurrency group will be canceled when a new run attempts to start [1][5]. - If cancel-in-progress is set to false (the default), the currently running job will not be canceled; the new run must wait until the running job completes [2][5]. Pending (Queued) Jobs: The behavior for pending jobs is distinct and mandatory: GitHub Actions allows at most one pending run in a concurrency group at any time [2][6]. - If a run is already in the pending (queued) state, and a new run is triggered for the same group, the existing pending run will always be canceled to make room for the newer run [1][2][6]. - This behavior occurs regardless of whether cancel-in-progress is true or false [6]. Essentially, the queue for a concurrency group holds only the most recent trigger, and older queued runs are evicted to ensure the system processes the most current request [6]. To avoid unintended cancellations of queued runs, you must ensure your concurrency group keys are sufficiently unique (e.g., by including the branch name or commit SHA) so that unrelated runs do not collide and enter the same concurrency group [1][5][6].

Citations:


Serialise label mutations without cancelling active runs.

The triggers can overlap, and each run edits the same labels. cancel-in-progress: true can stop a run after partial updates. Add a repository-scoped concurrency group with cancel-in-progress: false.

Propagate payload and inventory API failures.

At lines 51–53, || true suppresses gh api and base64 -d failures. A failed request can enter the "no .github/labels.json" path or leave a partial payload.

At lines 58–59, an inventory failure can leave existing empty or incomplete. The workflow can then partially synchronise labels and exit successfully at lines 101–103.

Check both requests explicitly. Treat only a confirmed missing .github/labels.json as a no-op. Treat authentication, transport, API, and decode failures as workflow failures.
