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.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 none.

See docs/LABELS.adoc in hyperpolymath/.git-private-farm.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added automatic issue labelling based on titles, tags, keywords and issue status.
    • Added workflows to apply relevant labels to new, reopened and manually selected issues.
    • Added automatic synchronisation of the repository’s standard label set.
  • Improvements

    • Added a consistent label taxonomy with tier limits and protected labels.
    • Label updates are safely additive and avoid altering protected labels.

Walkthrough

Adds a canonical GitHub label taxonomy and generated classifier configuration. Adds jq classification for issue titles. Adds workflows for issue triage and additive label synchronisation.

Changes

Label automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Label taxonomy and classification rules
.github/labels.json, .github/label-classifier.json
Defines 38 canonical labels, frozen labels, title-prefix and bracket-tag mappings, keyword signals, tier limits, supported types, and precedence rules.
Issue classification pipeline
.github/scripts/classify-issue.jq
Normalises issue titles, parses prefixes and tags, detects keyword signals, enforces tier limits, preserves existing labels, and emits confident labels.
Label triage and synchronisation workflows
.github/workflows/label-triage.yml, .github/workflows/labels.yml
Classifies opened, reopened, or manually selected issues. Synchronises missing and changed labels while preserving present frozen labels.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c0dce

New issue automation may still add type or area labels to issues marked status:do-not-automate, contrary to that label’s documented policy. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to add the guard.

Poem

A rabbit sorts the labels bright,
jq checks each title left and right,
Frozen names stay as they are,
Workflows hop through APIs afar,
Clean tags land before night.

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.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Respect status:do-not-automate before classification.

If HAVE contains status:do-not-automate, exit before the jq call. The current tier lock prevents a second status label only. A reopened issue can still receive type and area labels, although .github/labels.json defines this label as “Bots and sweeps must not touch this issue”.

Proposed fix
           HAVE=$(gh issue view "$NUM" -R "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" \
                    --json labels --jq '[.labels[].name]' 2>/dev/null) || HAVE='[]'
           [[ -n "$HAVE" ]] || HAVE='[]'
+          if jq -e --arg label 'status:do-not-automate' \
+               'index($label) != null' <<<"$HAVE" >/dev/null; then
+            echo "status:do-not-automate present - nothing to do"
+            exit 0
+          fi
           echo "already has: $HAVE"
