WalkthroughAdds generated label definitions, jq-based issue classification, automatic issue triage, and label synchronisation workflows. The workflows use repository configuration, preserve existing or frozen labels, and handle missing data and API failures without failing. ChangesIssue labelling
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new automation can miss labels, apply conflicting labels after a transient read failure, or restore stale definitions when runs overlap; configured plural keywords and case-variant labels can also be handled incorrectly.

Handle y to ies inflections separately.
kwrx builds theoryies for theory, so theories does not match the research keyword. A title containing only theories can therefore produce no labels. Add a dedicated y-ending keyword branch and a regression case.

Normalise repository label names before classification and application.
If a repository label uses different casing from its canonical name, .github/scripts/classify-issue.jq#L122-L124 does not recognise it in $canon or $R.tier_of. A new label from the same max-one tier can then be added. .github/workflows/label-triage.yml#L95-L99 also skips valid classifications because it uses exact-case matching.
Convert existing label names to lowercase before classification. Compare want and def case-insensitively, then apply the stored def spelling.

Set the repository for both label mutation commands.
This job does not check out the repository or set GH_REPO. Add -R "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" to both commands. Without repository context, gh label create and gh label edit can fail. Their suppressed errors can leave the workflow reporting created=0 updated=0.

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.

GitHub CLI gh issue edit --add-label existing labels behaviour documentation
💡 Result:
The GitHub CLI command gh issue edit --add-label is designed to append new labels to an issue without affecting or overwriting the existing labels [1]. When you use the --add-label flag, the GitHub CLI performs a piecemeal update to the issue's label set [1]. This behavior was implemented to provide a non-destructive way to manage metadata, ensuring that existing labels remain intact while the specified new labels are added [1][2]. If you wish to modify labels in other ways, you can use the corresponding flags: - To remove specific labels, use --remove-label [3][4]. - You can combine these flags in a single command, for example: gh issue edit 23 --add-label "bug,help wanted" --remove-label "core" [3][5]. This design differentiates explicit additions and removals from the potential ambiguity of replacing an entire list of labels [1][2].

Re-check labels before applying the result.
HAVE is read once before classification. A human or overlapping triage run can add a max-1 label before gh issue edit, which appends labels without removing existing labels. Add per-issue concurrency and re-read labels immediately before the edit. Skip the update when a relevant tier is already occupied.

Retry triage after label synchronisation.
When DEFINED contains none of the classifier output labels, label-triage.yml exits at Lines 100–102 without processing the issue. labels.yml runs on workflow_dispatch, changes to .github/labels.json, or its monthly schedule, but it does not re-dispatch triage. An issue created before the first synchronisation can therefore remain unlabelled until manual dispatch or reopening.
Ensure label synchronisation completes before issue intake, or add an automatic retry after synchronisation.

Stop on a failed existing-label read.
Line 82 converts a failed gh issue view call into HAVE='[]'. The classifier then treats an unreadable issue as having no labels. If the issue already has a human label in a max-1 tier, Line 114 can add a conflicting label after a transient read failure. This breaks the additive-only and human-preservation contract. Exit when the label read fails. Use [] only after a successful empty response.

Prevent obsolete runs from restoring stale label definitions.
The push, schedule, and workflow_dispatch triggers can run at the same time. Each run reads a different GITHUB_SHA and then updates the same labels. If an older run reaches Line 86 after a newer run, it can restore an old colour or description until the next synchronisation.
Add a workflow concurrency group that cancels obsolete runs.

In @.github/workflows/labels.yml around lines 20 - 26, Add a workflow-level
concurrency configuration to the labels workflow, using a stable group shared by
push, schedule, and workflow_dispatch runs and enabling cancellation of
in-progress obsolete runs. Keep the existing triggers unchanged so only
superseded synchronization runs are cancelled.

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.lockas[]. That lock is keyed by workflow path and refuses any workflow it does not list — astartup_failure, which produces no check run and is therefore silent.gh actions-lockcannot add these: it records action versions, and both workflows deliberately use none.See
