feat(labels): estate label tooling + auto-triage for new issues - #126
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughAdds a generated label taxonomy and registry. Adds a jq classifier for issue titles. Adds workflows that apply labels to issues and synchronise repository labels while preserving frozen labels. ChangesLabel automation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The new label automation can silently skip registry synchronization when fetching or decoding fails, and overlapping runs can leave older label definitions in place. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to fail visibly on registry errors and serialize label updates. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

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.

Serialise repository label mutations.
The workflow has no concurrency group. If runs for two commits overlap, the older run can update a label colour or description after the newer run. The repository then remains on a stale label definition until another sync runs.
Add repository-scoped concurrency and allow queued runs to complete in order.
Proposed fix

+ group: labels-${{ github.repository }}

Do not suppress label registry fetch failures.
Lines 51-53 convert an API, token, or Base64 decoding failure into a successful nothing to do result. If .github/labels.json exists but gh api fails, the workflow silently performs no synchronisation and the triage workflow can continue to omit undefined labels.
Fail the run when the fetch or decode operation fails.

- --jq '.content' 2>/dev/null | base64 -d > "$PAYLOAD" || true
