feat(labels): estate label tooling + auto-triage for new issues - #21
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughAdds a generated label taxonomy, a jq classifier, an issue-triage workflow, and a label-synchronisation workflow. The workflows fetch repository files at the triggering commit and use additive, best-effort operations. ChangesLabel automation
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~30 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR adds automated label writes for synchronization and issue triage. Concurrent runs could cause false workflow failures or stale label decisions, and the triage workflow grants more permission than necessary; serialization and permission scoping should be addressed with explicit owner awareness.

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 workflow-level permissions job-level permissions permissions {} documentation
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, the permissions key is used to define the access rights of the GITHUB_TOKEN for either an entire workflow or a specific job [1][2]. Workflow-Level Permissions When you define the permissions key at the top level of your workflow file, those settings apply to all jobs within that workflow [1][3]. This is a useful way to set a base level of access for the entire pipeline [4]. Job-Level Permissions When you define the permissions key within a specific job, it overrides any workflow-level permissions for that job only [3][4]. This allows for a granular application of the principle of least privilege, where you can grant higher or lower permissions only to the specific jobs that require them (e.g., a release job might need 'contents: write' while a test job only needs 'read') [4]. Using permissions: {} If you set permissions to an empty block like permissions: {}, it explicitly sets all available permission scopes to none [1][2]. This effectively removes all access for the GITHUB_TOKEN within the scope where it is applied (either the entire workflow or a specific job), preventing the token from performing any operations that require those permissions [1]. Important Considerations: - If a permission is not explicitly listed in a permissions block, it is set to none [1][2]. - If no permissions are specified in the workflow or job, the token inherits the default permissions configured at the repository, organization, or enterprise level [1]. - For pull request events from forked repositories, GitHub may automatically restrict permissions to read-only, regardless of your configuration, as a security measure [1][2].

Scope write permission to the triage job.
jobs.triage runs gh issue edit, so it requires issues: write. Set permissions: {} at workflow level, then grant contents: read and issues: write only to jobs.triage.

Serialize label automation runs. Both workflows read current state and then write labels non-atomically. Concurrent runs can make synchronization report expected create conflicts as failures or cause triage to apply additions from a stale snapshot. Add concurrency with cancel-in-progress: false, using a repository-scoped group for synchronization and a repository-plus-issue-scoped group for triage.
