Owner

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 labelling for newly opened and reopened issues based on their titles and content.
    • Added workflows to synchronise the repository’s standard labels, including colours and descriptions.
    • Added manual options for re-running issue classification and label synchronisation.
  • Improvements

    • Existing labels are preserved, while unsupported or duplicate suggestions are excluded.
    • Protected labels are prevented from being modified automatically.

Walkthrough

Adds a generated label taxonomy, a jq classifier for issue titles, an issue triage workflow, and a label synchronisation workflow. The automation applies canonical labels additively and protects frozen label definitions.

Changes

Label automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Label taxonomy and registry
.github/label-classifier.json, .github/labels.json
Adds classification rules, canonical labels, tier limits, precedence, valid types, and frozen labels.
Issue classification logic
.github/scripts/classify-issue.jq
Parses bracket tags and title prefixes, collects keyword signals, enforces tier limits, and emits confident canonical labels.
Issue triage workflow
.github/workflows/label-triage.yml
Classifies opened, reopened, or manually selected issues and applies matching labels without removing existing labels.
Label registry synchronisation
.github/workflows/labels.yml
Creates missing labels, updates non-frozen label drift, skips frozen definitions, and reports mutation results.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 56f9d

The new automation can race when runs overlap, potentially causing a misleading workflow failure or inconsistent issue labeling. This is a bounded risk that is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to serialize the affected runs.

Poem

A rabbit checks each label line,
Then sorts the tags in neat design.
jq hops through titles, calm and bright,
Workflows keep the registry right.
Frozen names stay safe tonight.

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 runs for the same issue.

When overlapping opened and reopened runs both read an empty type tier, they can classify different titles and both execute gh issue edit --add-label. Add issue-scoped job concurrency with cancel-in-progress: false so the later run reads labels applied by the earlier run.

Serialise label synchronisation runs.

Concurrent runs can both find the same label missing and call gh label create. One call can fail after the other run creates the label. If no other mutation succeeds, the losing run exits with status 1 even though the label set is correct.

Add repository-scoped job concurrency with cancel-in-progress: false.
