feat(labels): estate label tooling + auto-triage for new issues - #158
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe pull request adds canonical label definitions and classifier rules. It adds a jq classifier for issue titles. It adds workflows for issue triage and scheduled label synchronisation. ChangesLabel automation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new label automation can silently skip synchronization, restore stale label metadata, and modify issues marked not to be automated. These are bounded but concrete correctness and operational risks, so the PR should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance. Sequence Diagram(s)Issue triagesequenceDiagram

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.

Skip issues marked status:do-not-automate.
At Line 82, HAVE can contain status:do-not-automate. The workflow still classifies and edits that issue. This conflicts with .github/labels.json Lines 199-202, which state that bots must not touch it.
Proposed fix
[[ -n "$HAVE" ]] || HAVE='[]'
+ if jq -e 'index("status:do-not-automate") != null' <<<"$HAVE" >/dev/null; then
+ echo "issue opts out of automation - leaving untouched"
+ exit 0
+ fi
echo "already has: $HAVE"📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Serialise label synchronisation runs.
Concurrent runs can use payloads from different commits. If a newer run completes first and an older run completes later, the older run can restore stale colours or descriptions until another synchronisation occurs.
Add a repository-scoped concurrency group with cancel-in-progress: true so that the newest canonical payload wins.

Fail when a required GitHub API read fails.
Lines 51-53 convert a failed payload request into a successful “nothing to do” exit. Lines 58-59 also allow a failed label-list request to become an empty inventory. A temporary API failure can therefore report success without synchronising labels, or attempt creates for labels that already exist.
Handle each gh api failure explicitly and exit non-zero before processing the payload.
Also applies to: 58-59
