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
    • Automatically suggests and applies relevant labels to newly opened or reopened issues.
    • Supports manually triggering labelling for a specific issue.
    • Keeps repository labels synchronised with the defined label catalogue on demand, when updated, and on a regular schedule.
  • Improvements
    • Preserves existing human-applied labels and avoids changes when classification is uncertain.
    • Safely handles missing or unsuccessful operations and reports synchronisation results.

Walkthrough

Added a repository label taxonomy, a jq issue classifier, an issue triage workflow, and a label synchronisation workflow. The workflows use the GitHub CLI and jq without third-party actions.

Changes

Issue labelling automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Label taxonomy and registry
.github/label-classifier.json, .github/labels.json
Added generated rules and label definitions for types, areas, priorities, statuses, metadata, scopes, precedence, tiers, limits, and frozen labels.
Issue title classification
.github/scripts/classify-issue.jq
Added jq functions that classify title prefixes, bracket tags, keywords, and signals. The classifier respects existing labels and tier limits.
Issue triage workflow
.github/workflows/label-triage.yml
Added issue event and manual triggers. The workflow fetches issue data, runs the classifier, filters unknown labels, and applies additive label changes.
Label registry synchronisation
.github/workflows/labels.yml
Added scheduled and manual synchronisation. The workflow preserves frozen labels, creates missing labels, and updates colour or description differences.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9fa35

This PR adds automated label synchronization and issue triage, but the current behavior can silently skip synchronization, misclassify issues after failed or stale label reads, and leave existing issues unlabelled; overlapping runs may also report failure despite successful label creation. The PR is not merge-ready until these bounded correctness and workflow reliability risks are fixed or explicitly accepted.

A rabbit checks each issue line

jq sorts labels into rows
Frozen tags stay where they are
New labels hop through workflow gates
The registry keeps its colours bright
One neat burrow of rules now grows

GitHub CLI gh label create edit repository selection GH_REPO GITHUB_REPOSITORY no local git repository

💡 Result:

When using the GitHub CLI (gh) to manage labels outside of a local git repository, you must explicitly specify the target repository using the --repo (or -R) flag [1][2][3]. The gh command does not automatically resolve the target repository from environment variables like GH_REPO or GITHUB_REPOSITORY [4]. To create a label in a specific repository when not inside a local git directory, use the following syntax: gh label create --repo <[HOST/]OWNER/REPO> [flags] [1][5][6] For example: gh label create "bug" --color "FF0000" --repo "owner/my-repo" [7][2] Key points: 1. Repository Selection: The --repo (or -R) flag is required when the command is run outside of a repository, as gh will otherwise fail to identify the target [2][8]. 2. Environment Variables: While tools like GH_REPO or GITHUB_REPOSITORY are often used in GitHub Actions environments, the gh CLI does not natively read these variables to determine the target repository for label commands [4]. You must pass the value explicitly via the --repo flag [1][3]. 3. Automation: In scripting or CI/CD pipelines, ensure you provide the repository name dynamically to the --repo flag if the context is not automatically available [7]. Authentication: Ensure you have authenticated using gh auth login or by setting the GH_TOKEN environment variable, and that your token has the necessary permissions (e.g., issues:write) to modify labels [7][2][9].

Citations:


Pass the target repository to both label mutation commands.

This workflow has no checkout step, and GITHUB_REPOSITORY does not configure gh repository selection. Add --repo "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" to both commands. Otherwise, their failures remain hidden, so missing labels and metadata drift can persist.

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.

GitHub Actions concurrency group cancel-in-progress false one running and one pending workflow run official documentation

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, setting cancel-in-progress: false (which is the default behavior) does not mean all workflow runs will complete [1][2]. Instead, it dictates how the system handles runs when a new run is triggered in the same concurrency group [3][2]. When you have one run currently in progress and a new run is triggered: 1. The run already in progress is protected and allowed to finish [4][1]. 2. The new run enters a pending state and waits for the in-progress run to complete [1]. However, if you have a run already in a pending state and a newer run is triggered, the existing pending run is automatically canceled to make room for the latest run [3][2]. GitHub Actions maintains only one queued (pending) slot per concurrency group [4]. Consequently, if multiple runs are triggered rapidly, the system will discard older pending runs to ensure only the most recent run occupies the queue [4][5]. To summarize the behavior for a single concurrency group: - Currently running: Protected (with cancel-in-progress: false) [4]. - Pending/Queued: Always canceled by a newer, incoming run [3][4]. If your goal is to ensure that every single triggered workflow run completes (i.e., no cancellations), you must ensure that each run operates within its own unique concurrency group, such as by using a unique identifier like ${{ github.sha }} as the group key [4].

Fail closed on unknown or stale labels.

When gh issue view fails, HAVE='[]' makes the classifier ignore existing labels. A title such as fix: ... can then produce bug beside an existing enhancement label. Reject failed, empty, or non-array label data before classification.

A successful read can become stale before gh issue edit because workflow runs can overlap and human edits are not coordinated. Add per-issue concurrency with cancel-in-progress: false, then re-read and revalidate labels immediately before applying the result.

Serialise overlapping label synchronisation runs.

If two runs observe the same missing label, both call gh label create. One succeeds and the other records a failure. If that is the only mutation, Lines 101-103 make the losing run fail even though the label now exists. Add a workflow-level concurrency group with cancel-in-progress: false.

In @.github/workflows/labels.yml around lines 51 - 55, Update the label
synchronization workflow around the PAYLOAD download and the FROZEN and labels
jq processing to fail non-zero on API, base64 decoding, JSON parsing, or schema

failures propagate to the step status.
