feat(labels): estate label tooling + auto-triage for new issues - #70
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughAdded JSON label definitions and classifier rules. Added jq-based issue classification and triage. Added workflows that synchronise repository labels on demand, on changes, and monthly. ChangesIssue label automation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change adds automatic repository label updates and issue triage. As written, a feature-branch push could update shared labels before review, and a failed label lookup could trigger incorrect creation attempts and misleading failures; these workflow risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

In @.github/label-classifier.json:
- Around line 440-466: Move the type-tier keyword buckets testing and
documentation from keyword_area into the corresponding keyword_type buckets in
label-classifier.json, preserving their relevant keywords. Ensure
classify-issue.jq’s existing “keyword type only if none supplied” behavior
handles these matches, while keyword_area contains only area labels.
In @.github/labels.json:
- Around line 241-259: Resolve the conflict between the canonical security label
and the frozen list: preserve security as a valid triage label while ensuring
frozen labels can still be created when missing. Update the labels
synchronization and/or frozen configuration so frozen status prevents renaming,
deletion, or other edits but does not exclude security from creation or
defined-label filtering.
In @.github/workflows/label-triage.yml:
- Around line 106-108: Replace the unquoted command substitution in the
label-application step with a Bash argument array, appending each --add-label
option and label as separate elements before invoking gh issue edit. Preserve
the existing apply behavior and failure-tolerant fallback while ensuring labels
containing whitespace remain single arguments.
In @.github/workflows/labels.yml:
- Around line 22-24: Restrict the push trigger in the labels workflow to the
repository’s default branch, while retaining the existing .github/labels.json

workflow and leave other triggers unchanged.

Harden the label synchronization workflow before merge.
Two independent safeguards are missing:
- The
pushtrigger is not restricted to the default branch, so edits to.github/labels.jsonon any branch can apply label changes before merge. Add a default-branch filter. - The existing-label API call is unchecked. If it fails, the workflow treats all labels as missing, attempts failing creates, reports zero changes, and exits successfully. Handle the listing failure explicitly and refuse to continue.
These changes prevent unreviewed updates and silent synchronization failures.

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.

20-26: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | ⚡ Quick winBoth previously reported safeguards are still missing.
The

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win
Move permissions to the job, name the job, and add a per-issue concurrency group.
Three static analysis findings apply, and all three fixes are behaviour-preserving:
issues: writesits at workflow level while only one job needs it. Declare it on thetriagejob.- The job has no
name. - The workflow has no
concurrency. A dispatch that runs while theopenedevent is still in flight can interleave theHAVEread at line 82 with the edit at line 114. The classifier is additive, so the result is a redundant edit attempt rather than a wrong label. A per-issue group closes the window that lines 78-81 describe.
