feat(labels): estate label tooling + auto-triage for new issues - #50
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughAdded a canonical label registry, a jq issue classifier, and two GitHub Actions workflows. The workflows classify issues and synchronise repository labels. The classifier applies configured rules, tier limits, precedence, and existing-label protections. ChangesLabel automation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The issue triage workflow may create conflicting type labels if a human changes labels during processing. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to recheck labels immediately before writing. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

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
The pull request implements a canonical issue label taxonomy and automated triage system using jq, successfully adhering to the 'no Python' constraint. However, a critical environmental compatibility issue exists: the .github/workflows/actions.lock file is missing from the changes. According to the PR description, this omission will result in a startup_failure within the estate environment due to action-locking policies.
Several functional gaps were identified regarding the automated classification logic. Specifically, implementation for bracketed tags, conventional commit prefixes, and tier-based limits (to prevent duplicate type labels) appears missing or unverified. Furthermore, the complex jq logic in .github/scripts/classify-issue.jq is considered high-risk due to its complexity and the absence of the parity test script referenced in the code comments. Addressing these gaps and the missing configuration file is required before merging.
About this PR
- The PR description mentions adding new workflows to
.github/workflows/actions.lock, but this file is missing from the diff. This will likely cause a 'startup_failure' in the estate environment due to strict action-locking policies. - The jq script refers to
tests/test-classifier-parity.pyfor verification, but this test file is not included in the PR. Given the complexity of the classification logic, automated tests are necessary to ensure reliability.
Test suggestions
- Missing classification of issue titles containing bracketed tags (e.g., '[p1]' to 'priority:p1')
- Missing classification of issue titles using conventional commit prefixes (e.g., 'fix:' to 'bug')
- Missing keyword-based area labeling (e.g., 'z3' mapping to 'proofs')
- Missing enforcement of tier-based limits (e.g., ensuring an issue does not receive two 'type' labels)
- Missing idempotent label sync creating missing labels regardless of frozen status
- Missing protection of existing human-applied labels in restricted tiers
- Missing unit tests for the complex regex inflection logic in .github/scripts/classify-issue.jq
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Missing classification of issue titles containing bracketed tags (e.g., '[p1]' to 'priority:p1')
2. Missing classification of issue titles using conventional commit prefixes (e.g., 'fix:' to 'bug')
3. Missing keyword-based area labeling (e.g., 'z3' mapping to 'proofs')
4. Missing enforcement of tier-based limits (e.g., ensuring an issue does not receive two 'type' labels)
5. Missing idempotent label sync creating missing labels regardless of frozen status
6. Missing protection of existing human-applied labels in restricted tiers
7. Missing unit tests for the complex regex inflection logic in .github/scripts/classify-issue.jq

🟡 MEDIUM RISK
Suggestion: The regex inflection logic is currently hardcoded for a specific set of English suffixes. This makes the classifier brittle for irregular verbs or domain-specific terminology that doesn't follow the 's/es/ed/ing' pattern. Moving these rules to the configuration file would improve maintainability.
Try running the following prompt in your IDE agent:
Refactor the
kwrxfunction in.github/scripts/classify-issue.jqto allow the.github/label-classifier.jsondata file to specify optional custom suffix sets or regex overrides per keyword, removing the hardcoded grammar logic from the script.

⚪ LOW RISK
Suppressing stderr during the jq execution prevents visibility into syntax errors or malformed JSON issues. Capturing these errors in the workflow logs would simplify troubleshooting when the classifier fails to run as expected.

| mapfile -t ADD < <(jq -r --arg title "$TITLE" --argjson have "$HAVE" \ | |
| -f "$SCRIPT" "$RULES") |

Refresh HAVE before the label write.
A human can add a max-1-tier label after this read and before line 114. For example, a fix: issue can receive bug after a human adds enhancement. The issue then has two type labels.
Before the edit, read the labels again, rerun the classifier with that value, and rebuild apply. This keeps the human-classification check close to the write.
