Release-intent gate requires labels that repositories are not guaranteed to have #84
Description
verify-release-intent.yml requires exactly one of major, minor, patch or no-release on a pull request, but nothing ensures those four labels actually exist in the repositories that call it. bootstrap-common-workflows.yml propagates workflows and CodeQL config; labels are not in its scope, and there is no other job that reconciles them.
Today the four labels are inconsistent across the organization:
- Cratis/Chronicle:
major,minor,patch,no-release - Cratis/Fundamentals:
major,minor,patch,no-release - Cratis/AI:
minor,patch,no-release- nomajor(I created it while fixing The "Verify Release Intent" GitHub Actions workflow in Cratis/AI is failing (https://github.com/Cratis/AI/actions/run... AI#227) - Cratis/Workflows:
minor,patch,no-release- nomajor
The consequence is that in a repository missing major, a breaking-change pull request cannot satisfy the gate at all. The author has no correct label to apply, and the only ways out are to create a label mid-review or to mislabel the change as minor - which then cuts the wrong version. The gate's error message tells the author to "add exactly one of major, minor or patch", naming a label that is not there.
Since the gate is the reason the labels have to exist, it seems reasonable for this repository to own reconciling them - either as a step in the existing bootstrap workflow or as a small companion that creates any of the four that are missing, with consistent names and descriptions.

Delivered in #211; Bootstrap Common Workflows run 40148584886 succeeded. Bootstrap now creates missing release-intent labels in eligible releasing repositories without editing existing labels. A read-only inventory of all 34 accessible ignored repositories found 21 confirmed releasing repositories: only Orleans lacked a label. The authorized create-only correction added Orleans major (bfdadc); readback confirmed all four labels in Orleans and Stage. Existing labels, workflows and bootstrap ignore lists were unchanged. Chronicle.Wolverine has no detected release-action invocation or enabled release-intent gate, so no labels were added there.
