feat(labels): estate label tooling + auto-triage for new issues - #83
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe change adds a generated label taxonomy, a jq issue classifier, an issue triage workflow, and a label synchronisation workflow. The workflows use GitHub CLI calls and preserve frozen labels. ChangesLabel automation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR adds automatic issue labeling and label synchronization; at the current head, opted-out issues may still receive bot labels and overlapping synchronization runs may fail even when labels are already correct. These are bounded correctness and operational risks, so merge is reasonable with explicit owner follow-up to honor the opt-out status and serialize synchronization runs.

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.

Honour status:do-not-automate.
If $have contains status:do-not-automate, this function can still emit labels. For example, an opted-out issue titled fix: reproduce failure emits bug. .github/labels.json defines this status as “Bots and sweeps must not touch this issue”.
Return an empty array before deriving any candidates when the issue already has status:do-not-automate.

GitHub Actions concurrency workflow group cancel-in-progress false queued runs documentation gh label create already exists duplicate label API
💡 Result:
GitHub Actions concurrency, cancel-in-progress, and GitHub API label creation behaviors are summarized below. GitHub Actions Concurrency The setting cancel-in-progress: false does not prevent all cancellations of queued jobs [1]. GitHub Actions concurrency groups (by default) allow at most one running job and at most one pending (queued) job [2][3][1]. When a new workflow run is triggered: 1. If a job is running, cancel-in-progress: false ensures that the running job is protected and continues to completion [1]. 2. If a job is already queued (pending), the new run will always cancel the previous queued run, regardless of the cancel-in-progress setting [3][1]. The new run then takes the single available queue slot [1]. To allow more than one job to wait in the queue, you must use the queue property (e.g., queue: max) [2][3]. Note that queue: max cannot be used with cancel-in-progress: true [2][4]. GitHub API "Already Exists" Label Error When attempting to create a label that already exists using the GitHub REST API (or the GitHub CLI gh label create command), the API returns a 422 Unprocessable Entity error with the code already_exists [5][6][7]. - API Error Response: The response will contain an errors array specifying that the resource Label with field name already exists [8]. - CLI Behavior: The gh label create command does not automatically handle this by updating the existing label; it returns the 422 error [7]. - Workaround: To avoid this error, tools typically perform a check-first approach—attempting to retrieve or list existing labels to see if the name is present before deciding whether to call the create endpoint or an update/edit endpoint [9][6].

Serialise label synchronisation runs.
If two runs overlap, both can read the same label list before either creates a missing label. gh label create then returns 422 already_exists for the second run. Lines 101–103 make that run exit 1 when no other mutation succeeded, although the first run established the canonical state.
Add a workflow-level concurrency group keyed by ${{ github.repository }} with cancel-in-progress: false. This serialises active runs; GitHub retains only one pending run.
