feat(labels): estate label tooling + auto-triage for new issues - #39
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughAdds a GitHub label taxonomy, a jq-based issue classifier, a label synchronisation workflow, and an additive issue-triage workflow. The workflows fetch repository data through the GitHub API and apply only valid, non-existing labels. ChangesLabel automation
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new label automation can silently skip canonical label updates, report failed configuration retrieval as success, apply revisions out of order, or add conflicting labels when human changes occur concurrently. The known repository-target issue can prevent synchronization entirely, so the PR is not merge-ready until these bounded workflow risks are addressed or explicitly accepted.

Set the target repository for label mutations.
This job does not check out a repository or set GH_REPO. Therefore, gh label create and gh label edit can fail to resolve a repository. Their errors are suppressed, so the workflow can finish successfully without applying label changes. Pass -R "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" to both commands.

Pull Request Overview
The PR introduces a jq-based label triage system and taxonomy sync, adhering to the portability requirement to avoid Python dependencies. Although Codacy identifies the code as up to standards, the implementation lacks critical verification and consistency. Specifically, the actions.lock update mentioned in the description is absent from the diff, and the complex regex logic in classify-issue.jq—flagged for high complexity—has no unit tests. Furthermore, a shell expansion vulnerability in the triage workflow poses a risk of failure if label names containing spaces are introduced in the future. These structural and robustness issues should be addressed before merging.
About this PR
- The jq-based classification logic in .github/scripts/classify-issue.jq is complex (regex inflection and tier enforcement) but lacks accompanying unit tests. This makes verifying the 'parity' claim difficult and increases maintenance risk.
- The PR description mentions an update to .github/workflows/actions.lock, but this file change is missing from the provided diff. Please ensure all intended changes are staged.
Test suggestions

🟡 MEDIUM RISK
Suggestion: The command substitution for adding labels will break if label names contain spaces because shell word splitting occurs on the unquoted result. A Bash array transformation using the --add-label=value syntax is a safer and more robust way to pass multiple arguments.\n\nsuggestion\n gh issue edit "$NUM" -R "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" \\\n "${apply[@]/#/--add-label=}" \\\n || echo "label apply failed - not failing the run"\n

⚪ LOW RISK
Suggestion: To optimize the synchronization for large label sets, pre-process the existing labels into a JSON object to allow O(1) lookups inside the loop. Refactor the sync job to use jq to create a lookup map of existing labels, replacing the awk scan inside the while loop.

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.

Protect the max-one-tier check from stale labels.
The workflow reads existing labels, classifies the issue, and then writes labels. A human can add a type, priority, status, meta, or scope label during this interval. The classifier then uses the old snapshot and can add a conflicting label. Add a per-issue concurrency group and perform a final label read before applying candidates whose tiers are still free.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Serialise label synchronisation runs.
A push, schedule, or manual dispatch can overlap with another run. Two payload revisions can then update the same label out of order, leaving the label definition stale. Concurrent creates can also make one run fail after another run creates the labels.
Add a workflow-level concurrency group with cancel-in-progress: false so each repository applies label revisions in order.

Do not report a payload retrieval failure as an absent configuration.
The || true converts API, Base64, and permission failures into a successful no-op. A scheduled repair can then skip all label updates and report success when .github/labels.json exists but GitHub did not return it.
Exit non-zero when the fetch or decode fails. Keep the no-op path only for a confirmed unsupported repository state.
