feat(labels): estate label tooling + auto-triage for new issues - #29
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe change adds canonical GitHub label metadata, a jq issue classifier, an issue triage workflow, and a label synchronisation workflow. The workflows use the GitHub CLI and apply additive or non-frozen label updates. ChangesLabel automation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new label automation can misclassify issues if existing labels cannot be read, while label synchronization may silently skip updates for malformed data or report false failures during overlapping runs. These bounded correctness and operational risks should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

applycan contain only labels fromtier_ofin.github/label-classifier.json. These labels contain no whitespace or shell metacharacters, so the expansion passes one--add-labeloption and one value per label.
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 fail open when reading existing labels.
When gh issue view --json labels fails, Line [83] sets HAVE to [] and the workflow continues to Lines [87]-[114]. The classifier cannot then see an existing human type or priority label and may add a conflicting max-one label.
Exit successfully before classification when the label read fails. Keep [] only for a successful response that contains no labels.

- --json labels --jq '[.labels[].name]' 2>/dev/null) || HAVE='[]'

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Serialise label synchronisation runs.
A push, scheduled run, or manual dispatch can overlap. Each run reads existing before mutations. If one run creates all missing labels first, the other run can record only duplicate-create failures and exit with "every label mutation failed" even though the repository is correct.
Add a repository-scoped concurrency group. Do not cancel an active synchronisation run.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Fail when the canonical payload is invalid.
Line 53 only checks that the payload is non-empty. If .github/labels.json is malformed or lacks the required arrays, jq fails in the process substitutions at Lines 55 and 94 without failing the parent shell. The workflow then reports success with no label changes.
Validate the required payload shape with jq -e before parsing it. Exit non-zero when validation fails.
