feat(labels): estate label tooling + auto-triage for new issues - #59

📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughAdded repository label definitions, a jq issue-title classifier, and GitHub Actions workflows for issue triage and label synchronisation. ChangesLabel automation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR adds automatic issue labeling and canonical label synchronization, but opted-out issues may still be modified and invalid label configuration may silently leave labels out of date. It is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up for these bounded risks. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

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.

Stop triage for status:do-not-automate issues.
If HAVE contains status:do-not-automate, this workflow can still add a type or area label. The classifier only locks the status tier. This conflicts with the canonical label contract that bots and sweeps must not touch the issue.
Exit successfully before classification when this label is present.
Proposed fix
[[ -n "$HAVE" ]] || HAVE='[]'
+ if jq -e 'index("status:do-not-automate") != null' <<<"$HAVE" >/dev/null; then
+ echo "issue opted out of automation - nothing to do"
+ exit 0
+ fi
echo "already has: $HAVE"📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Fail when the canonical label payload is invalid.
If .github/labels.json is malformed, jq fails inside the process substitution. mapfile then receives no records and the workflow reports a successful no-op. The later while process substitution has the same result.
Validate the payload before parsing it. This makes configuration errors visible instead of leaving label drift unrepaired.
