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.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added automatic classification and labelling for newly opened or reopened issues.
    • Introduced a standardised set of repository labels covering type, area, priority, status, metadata, and scope.
    • Added scheduled and on-demand label synchronisation to keep label names, colours, and descriptions consistent.
    • Added safeguards to preserve designated labels and avoid applying uncertain classifications.

Walkthrough

The PR adds generated GitHub label definitions, a jq issue classifier, an issue triage workflow, and a scheduled label synchronisation workflow. The automation applies only defined labels and preserves existing frozen labels.

Changes

Label automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Label taxonomy and classification rules
.github/labels.json, .github/label-classifier.json
Defines label metadata, classification mappings, tier limits, frozen labels, and precedence rules.
Issue classification pipeline
.github/scripts/classify-issue.jq
Normalises issue titles, applies bracket and prefix rules, detects keyword signals, enforces tier limits, and emits confident labels not already present.
GitHub Actions integration
.github/workflows/label-triage.yml, .github/workflows/labels.yml
Classifies opened or reopened issues and synchronises repository labels while preserving frozen labels.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d5025

Label synchronization runs may overlap and report a failed workflow even when labels are successfully synchronized, creating avoidable automation noise. The PR is mergeable with owner awareness, but workflow concurrency should be serialized as follow-up.

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.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Serialise label synchronisation runs.

If scheduled, push, or manual runs overlap, both runs can read a missing label. One run can create it while another run reports an already-exists error. The latter run then fails at Line 101 although the synchronisation succeeded. Add per-repository workflow concurrency and set cancel-in-progress: false.

Proposed fix

   workflow_dispatch:
   push:
     paths:
       - '.github/labels.json'
   schedule:
     - cron: "23 4 1 * *"   # monthly drift repair

+concurrency:
+  group: labels-${{ github.repository }}
+  cancel-in-progress: false
