feat(labels): estate label tooling + auto-triage for new issues - #69
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe change adds generated label configuration, a jq issue classifier, an issue triage workflow, and a label synchronisation workflow. The workflows fetch repository data through GitHub APIs and apply additive or configuration-driven label changes. ChangesLabel automation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The new label automation is mergeable with explicit owner awareness: issues marked not to be automated may still receive labels, human label changes can race with automated classification, and concurrent label synchronization can report avoidable failures. These are bounded follow-up risks rather than release-blocking failures. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Pull Request Overview
The implementation of the estate-wide label taxonomy is technically sound regarding the additive-only requirement and the avoidance of external GitHub Actions. However, there are significant logic flaws in the .github/scripts/classify-issue.jq script, specifically regarding regex escaping and multi-tag handling, which will prevent correct classification.
Furthermore, while the PR description mentions .github/workflows/actions.lock, this file is missing from the changes. Most acceptance criteria related to classification accuracy and workflow synchronization lack verifying test scenarios. Addressing the high-risk logic in the uncovered complex file classify-issue.jq is mandatory before merging.
About this PR
- The core logic in 'classify-issue.jq' is highly complex and lacks a local test suite or harness to verify regex boundaries and inflection logic. This presents a high risk for logic regressions across the estate.
- The PR description explicitly mentions updating '.github/workflows/actions.lock', but this file is missing from the submitted code changes. Please verify if it was omitted accidentally.
Test suggestions
- Classify an issue based on Conventional Commit prefix (e.g., 'feat: description')
- Classify an issue based on bracketed tags (e.g., '[docs] description')
- Ensure no labels are added if the issue already has a label in a single-occupancy tier (e.g., type)
- Verify keyword-based area assignment (e.g., 'workflow' triggers 'cicd')
- Sync workflow updates metadata (color/description) for existing canonical labels
- Sync workflow skips labels explicitly listed in the 'frozen' array
- Assert specific titles (including inflections like 'tests', 'implementing') produce expected label output
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Classify an issue based on Conventional Commit prefix (e.g., 'feat: description')
2. Classify an issue based on bracketed tags (e.g., '[docs] description')
3. Ensure no labels are added if the issue already has a label in a single-occupancy tier (e.g., type)
4. Verify keyword-based area assignment (e.g., 'workflow' triggers 'cicd')
5. Sync workflow updates metadata (color/description) for existing canonical labels
6. Sync workflow skips labels explicitly listed in the 'frozen' array
7. Assert specific titles (including inflections like 'tests', 'implementing') produce expected label output

🔴 HIGH RISK
The escaping logic is incorrect because jq string interpolation is evaluated in the keyword's context where .c is null. Use a jq filter instead of a string as the second argument to gsub to correctly escape each match.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK
The bracket function and the subsequent rest string assignment only handle a single leading tag. If an issue title contains multiple tags (e.g., '[estate][feat] title'), secondary tags remain, which prevents prefixrule from correctly matching Conventional Commit prefixes at the start of the string. The logic should be updated to recursively strip all leading tags.

| def kwrx($kw): |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
⚪ LOW RISK
The kwrx function implements a manual inflection engine (handling 'ies', 'ing', 'ation'). Hand-rolled NLP logic in jq is prone to false positives. Consider creating a GitHub Action workflow .github/workflows/test-classifier.yml that asserts specific titles produce expected label outputs to prevent regressions in this logic.

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.

Do not classify issues with status:do-not-automate.
When $have contains status:do-not-automate, Lines 154-157 lock only the status tier. The classifier can still emit type and area labels. label-triage.yml then adds those labels to an issue that states bots must not touch it.
Return [] before evaluating rules when $have contains status:do-not-automate.

Revalidate labels immediately before the mutation.
A human can add a max-one-tier label after Line 83 and before Line 114. The stale classification can then add a conflicting label, such as bug beside a newly added enhancement.
Fetch the labels again immediately before the edit. Re-run the classifier with that snapshot. Skip the mutation when the refreshed labels lock a suggested tier.

Serialise label synchronisation runs.
A push, scheduled run, or manual dispatch can run concurrently. Two runs can both classify a label as missing. One creates it, while the other records a failed mutation and exits 1 even though the repository is correct.
Add a repository-scoped concurrency group with cancel-in-progress: false.
