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.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added automatic labelling for newly opened or reopened issues based on their titles and recognised keywords.
    • Added scheduled and manual synchronisation of the project’s label catalogue, including descriptions, colours and protected labels.
    • Added support for consistent categorisation by type, area, priority, scope and status.
  • Improvements

    • Existing labels are preserved, while only valid and confidently matched labels are applied.
    • Label management continues safely when issue data or external requests are unavailable.

Walkthrough

Adds generated label taxonomy and classifier configuration, a jq-based issue classifier, an issue triage workflow, and a workflow that synchronises repository labels while preserving frozen labels.

Changes

Label automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Label taxonomy and classifier rules
.github/label-classifier.json, .github/labels.json
Adds generated label definitions, title and bracket rules, keyword signals, tier limits, allowed types, frozen labels, and precedence rules.
Issue classification engine
.github/scripts/classify-issue.jq
Normalises issue titles, detects prefixes and keywords, applies classification rules, preserves existing labels, enforces tier limits, and emits confident labels.
Issue triage workflow
.github/workflows/label-triage.yml
Classifies opened or reopened issues, supports manual dispatch, fetches repository files through gh api, filters labels against repository labels, and applies results best-effort.
Repository label synchronisation
.github/workflows/labels.yml
Creates missing canonical labels, updates colour and description drift, preserves frozen labels, and reports operation counts on manual, change-based, and scheduled runs.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8678d

The PR adds automatic issue labeling and label-management workflows, but the current implementation can add a conflicting type label after a human changes an issue and can silently fail to create or edit labels in some workflow contexts. This may leave issues incorrectly classified or the canonical label set incomplete, so merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance.

Poem

A rabbit sorts labels in a neat little row
Prefixes and keywords decide where they go
Frozen tags stay still in their quiet retreat
jq sends the chosen labels swift and neat
A workflow checks colours and names in the night
Then hops off when every label is right

Pull Request Overview

While the code is functionally 'up to standards' according to Codacy, this PR is currently missing critical components referenced in the documentation and docstrings. Specifically, supporting scripts and the .github/workflows/actions.lock update mentioned in the PR description are absent from the diff.

Furthermore, the core classification logic in .github/scripts/classify-issue.py is flagged as high-risk and complex but lacks any unit test coverage. A significant logic bug was identified in the keyword matching function (kw_hit) where punctuation-bearing keywords default to substring matching, which will likely result in false-positive labeling. These issues should be resolved to ensure the automation is as conservative and 'silent when unsure' as the acceptance criteria require.

About this PR

  • There is a discrepancy between the PR documentation and the files provided. The description mentions updates to .github/workflows/actions.lock, and the script docstrings reference tests/test-classifier-parity.py and scripts/gen-classifier-json.py, but none of these files are included in the pull request. Please include these files to ensure the automation is properly locked and testable.

Test suggestions

  • Verify that conventional commit prefixes (e.g., 'fix:', 'feat:') correctly map to the corresponding 'bug' or 'enhancement' types.
  • Verify that bracketed tags (e.g., '[estate]') are correctly parsed and map to the appropriate scope or meta labels.
  • Ensure the classifier does not add a 'type' label if the issue already possesses one (human override prevention).
  • Verify that keyword matching (kw_hit) respects word boundaries to avoid false positives (e.g., 'lean' matching 'cleanup').
  • Confirm that tier enforcement correctly selects the highest precedence label when multiple rules for a single-occupancy tier (like 'type') match.
  • Verify the workflow's ability to handle missing rule files or GitHub API timeouts without failing the issue triage process.
  • Provide unit tests for the classify and enforce_tiers functions using a representative set of issue titles.
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify that conventional commit prefixes (e.g., 'fix:', 'feat:') correctly map to the corresponding 'bug' or 'enhancement' types.
2. Verify that bracketed tags (e.g., '[estate]') are correctly parsed and map to the appropriate scope or meta labels.
3. Ensure the classifier does not add a 'type' label if the issue already possesses one (human override prevention).
4. Verify that keyword matching (kw_hit) respects word boundaries to avoid false positives (e.g., 'lean' matching 'cleanup').
5. Confirm that tier enforcement correctly selects the highest precedence label when multiple rules for a single-occupancy tier (like 'type') match.
6. Verify the workflow's ability to handle missing rule files or GitHub API timeouts without failing the issue triage process.
7. Provide unit tests for the `classify` and `enforce_tiers` functions using a representative set of issue titles.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

The classify function contains the core triage logic (regex heuristics and tier precedence) but has zero test coverage in this PR. Given its complexity, it is high-risk. Please provide the parity tests mentioned in the docstring (tests/test-classifier-parity.py) or equivalent unit tests to verify the classification and enforce_tiers logic.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

The fallback to substring matching for keywords containing punctuation (e.g., 'docs/', 'c++', '.js') will cause false positives (e.g., labeling as 'documentation' if 'src/docs/main.c' is in the title).

Update the kw_hit function to use word boundaries conditionally: apply (?<![A-Za-z0-9]) at the start if the keyword starts with an alphanumeric character, and (?![A-Za-z0-9]) at the end if it ends with one. This ensures word boundary enforcement even for keywords with punctuation.

⚪ LOW RISK

Suggestion: The gh label list command is limited to 200 labels by default. While this may suffice for now, GitHub supports up to 1,000 labels per repository. Consider increasing the limit or adding pagination to prevent the classifier from failing to recognize valid labels in the future.

Replace the truncated keyword strings in the generator source.

kw_hit applies whole-word boundaries to these entries. The classifier uses this function for area and type signals, so the four truncated strings can omit their intended labels. Update the generator source, then regenerate .github/label-classifier.json.

Preserve existing labels in exclusive tiers.

When have contains a canonical label in a max: 1 tier, a higher-precedence proposed label can survive enforce_tiers(...) - have. For example, a matched title such as fix: blocked on ... can add status:blocked to an issue that already has status:ready. The workflow only adds labels, so both labels remain. Filter proposed labels from occupied exclusive tiers before enforce_tiers; keep area labels additive.

Pass the target repository to label mutations.

If GH_REPO is unset and no local repository exists, gh label create and gh label edit cannot select a repository. Pass --repo "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" to both commands. Suppressed errors can leave labels unchanged while the workflow reports zero changes.

101-103: 🎯 Functional Correctness

No change required.

The canonical labels contain no whitespace or shell glob characters. The command therefore passes the expected arguments to gh issue edit.

Reclassify from current labels before the edit request.

Lines 72-74 capture HAVE before the remote fetches and classification work. If a human adds enhancement after that read, a docs: issue can still receive documentation at Lines 101-103. Both labels are in the type tier.

Fetch the labels again immediately before the edit request. Run the classifier again with that value. Rebuild apply from the new output.

Also applies to: 100-103

Review triage

Thanks — most of this held up. Here is what was taken and what was not, with reasons.

Incorporated

1. Truncated stems never matched (vulnerabilit, instantiat, investigat, adjudicat).
Correct, and both reviewers found it independently. Measuring it against the real 317-title corpus showed the problem was wider than the four stems and pointed at a different fix than either suggestion:

  • every false positive is a left-side prefixlean in "clean up", abi in "capability", mpl in "Implement", ffi in "AffineScript", smt in "wasmtime", nif in "unification";
  • every real miss is a right-side inflectiontest vs "tests", theorem vs "theorems", panic vs "panics", todo vs "TODOs", fuzz vs "fuzzer", scaffold vs "scaffolding".

75 of 317 titles were affected. So the boundary is now asymmetric: strict on the left, and on the right a closed set of inflections (s es ed d ing er ers y ies). Closed rather than open, because an open right side re-admits exactly the prefix false positives above.

ion/ation are deliberately excluded from the base set — they mint real words, and port (a live keyword for two labels) would match "portion". They are enabled only for unambiguously truncated stem shapes: -at and -ment.

Result on the corpus: 14 label gains, 0 losses, every gain checked by hand.

2. Conditional boundaries for punctuation-bearing keywords. Taken. Previously any keyword containing punctuation fell back to a bare substring match with no boundaries at all. A left boundary is now applied when the keyword starts alphanumeric, and a suffix/right boundary when it ends alphanumeric.

3. _keyword_type ignored precedence. Correct and a genuine latent bug — it returned the first match in JSON key order, so a title matching both bug and tech-debt resolved by serialisation accident. It now collects every match and lets precedence decide.

4. The "never override a human" guard only covered the type tier. Correct. priority, status, meta and scope are also max: 1, so a second label could still land in them. The guard now covers every max: 1 tier.

5. gh label list --limit 200. Raised to --limit 1000, GitHub's real per-repo ceiling.

6. E741 (l as a loop variable). Renamed throughout.

Not incorporated

Ship the parity tests into every repo. Declined, with reason. The tests live in the hub and gate the payload before it ships; tests/test-classifier-parity.py runs the canonical implementation and the dispatched one over the whole corpus and fails on the first disagreement. 416 copies of a test would be 416 things to drift, which is the problem the test exists to prevent, not a fix for it.

Separately: the classifier is now jq, not Python

The pilot dispatch failed governance / Language / package anti-pattern policy on hyperpolymath/standards:

❌ Python files detected - Python is fully banned
   — use AffineScript/Rust/SPARK/Julia

standards carries zero tracked .py files, so classify-issue.py would have been the first Python file in the repo that defines the policy — and then in 415 more. The gate does offer three escape hatches, but taking one would mean dispatching a banned-language exemption into every repo, which normalises the policy away by sweep rather than honouring it.

So the dispatched classifier is now jq: preinstalled on every runner, not banned, and needs no action — so the workflow keeps its empty actions.lock entry and cannot die as a startup_failure. The rules were already JSON.

Parity after the rewrite: 317 titles compared, 0 mismatches, plus 4 have-contract cases the canonical sweep classifier cannot cover.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

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.

@hyperpolymath
hyperpolymath dismissed stale reviews from coderabbitai[bot] and coderabbitai[bot] August 27, 2026 12:46

Findings addressed in af05b99 (asymmetric keyword boundaries, precedence-aware _keyword_type, max-1 tier guard generalised, --limit 1000, E741) and 9ea60e6 (TOCTOU: existing labels are now read immediately before the edit). The classifier was also rewritten from Python to jq because Python is fully banned estate-wide. Per-finding reasoning, including the one finding declined and why, is in the triage comment on this PR. This review predates those commits.
