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.

Pull Request Overview
While the code quality meets standard Codacy checks, there are significant implementation gaps that prevent the PR from fulfilling its stated intent. Most notably, the 'auto-triage' feature is incomplete as it lacks the necessary GitHub Actions trigger for issue creation events. Furthermore, the label synchronization workflow references a configuration file (.github/labels.json) that is missing from this changeset, which will cause the workflow to fail upon execution. These items must be addressed before merging.
About this PR
- The synchronization workflow in '.github/workflows/labels.yml' refers to a '.github/labels.json' file that is not present in the code changes. This makes it impossible to verify the canonical label set and will cause the workflow to fail.
- The PR mentions 'auto-triage for new issues', but the current diff does not include a GitHub Action workflow triggered by 'issues: opened', nor the logic to execute the classification upon issue creation.
- The PR lacks automated tests or verification scripts for the shell-based synchronization logic or the JSON configuration changes to ensure the classifier logic remains 'silent when unsure'.
Test suggestions
- Verify that a missing 'security' label (marked as frozen) is successfully created by the sync workflow.
- Verify that an existing 'security' label with a non-canonical color is skipped and not updated by the sync workflow.
- Verify that a non-frozen label is correctly updated when its description or color changes in the source JSON.
- Verify that the keyword 'test suite' now correctly triggers a 'testing' type classification instead of being shadowed by an area rule.
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify that a missing 'security' label (marked as frozen) is successfully created by the sync workflow.
2. Verify that an existing 'security' label with a non-canonical color is skipped and not updated by the sync workflow.
3. Verify that a non-frozen label is correctly updated when its description or color changes in the source JSON.
4. Verify that the keyword 'test suite' now correctly triggers a 'testing' type classification instead of being shadowed by an area rule.

⚪ LOW RISK
Suggestion: Silencing stderr (2>/dev/null 2>&1) on the 'gh label' commands makes it impossible to diagnose API failures, permission issues, or validation errors in the workflow logs. While keeping stdout suppressed is acceptable, consider allowing stderr to be visible. Update the commands at lines 68 and 75 to remove '2>&1' so that errors are exposed for debugging.

Fail the workflow when gh label create fails.
Because gh label create is the first command in an && list, a non-zero status does not stop the shell, even when errexit is active. The loop continues and the final message can report success while the required label remains absent.
Handle the failure explicitly and exit non-zero, or retry and re-check known idempotent races.

Ships the canonical label set and the jq 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.
Includes two corrections found by review during the estate rollout, both of which lost labels silently:
testinganddocumentationwere inkeyword_areaas well askeyword_type. Becausekeyword_areais applied before the type rules and never sets the "matched" flag, a hit there suppressed the type rules and the classifier returned nothing at all —"the test suite is broken"classified as[]. Invariant now:keyword_area ∩ types = ∅.securityis the one canonical label that is also frozen, and it was absent from 10 of 12 sampled repos — everysecurityclassification was being discarded. Frozen protects a definition from rename/recolour/delete; it never meant "do not create".The classifier is jq, not Python: Python is fully banned estate-wide, and it needs no action, so the
actions.lockentry cannot drift.See
