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, keywords and existing labels.
    • Added scheduled and manual synchronisation of repository labels from a central catalogue.
    • Added safeguards to preserve protected labels and existing issue labels.
  • Chores
    • Added configuration for label categories, priorities, types and classification rules.
    • Added fallback handling so labelling workflows complete safely when configuration is unavailable.

Walkthrough

Adds a generated label taxonomy, a jq issue classifier, an issue triage workflow, and a label synchronisation workflow. The workflows use direct GitHub CLI/API calls, preserve existing or frozen labels, and handle unavailable data without failing.

Changes

Label automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Label taxonomy and classification rules
.github/label-classifier.json, .github/labels.json
Defines label metadata, categories, matching rules, tier limits, frozen labels, allowed types, and precedence.
jq issue classifier
.github/scripts/classify-issue.jq
Parses title prefixes and bracket tags, matches keywords, infers types, enforces tier limits, and emits additive labels.
Issue triage workflow
.github/workflows/label-triage.yml
Classifies opened, reopened, or manually selected issues, filters labels to the repository catalogue, and adds valid labels without overriding existing labels.
Label synchronisation workflow
.github/workflows/labels.yml
Synchronises canonical label metadata on manual, source-change, and scheduled triggers while preserving frozen labels.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5f592

This PR adds automated repository-wide label synchronization and issue triage, but concurrent runs can fail or apply conflicting labels, unmerged branches can change permanent labels, opted-out issues can still receive labels, and issues can be missed before label provisioning completes. These concrete merge-readiness risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Pull Request Overview

While the PR successfully introduces the canonical label set and triage logic using jq as required, there is a critical syntax error in the classify-issue.jq script that will cause compiler failures during execution. This script is identified as complex and lacks any test coverage, posing a high risk to the 'best-effort execution' requirement.

Additionally, there is a discrepancy between the PR description and the provided code: the .github/workflows/actions.lock file and the mentioned test suite (tests/test-classifier-parity.py) are missing from the diff. These gaps prevent verification of the logic against the stated ground truth and violate the policy regarding lockfile updates.

About this PR

  • The issue classification logic in .github/scripts/classify-issue.jq includes complex inflection handling and precedence rules but lacks unit tests or a corpus to verify accuracy. Given the 'silent when unsure' requirement, testing is critical to avoid mislabeling.
  • The PR description mentions adding workflows to '.github/workflows/actions.lock' and includes references to a Python-based parity test suite ('tests/test-classifier-parity.py'), yet these files are missing from the PR diff. Please ensure all intended files are staged.
1 comment outside of the diff
.github/workflows/actions.lock

line 1 🟡 MEDIUM RISK
The changes to .github/workflows/actions.lock mentioned in the description are missing from the diff. This is required to maintain the integrity of the workflow lockfiles.

Test suggestions

  • Verify 'fix:' or 'bug:' prefixes correctly assign the 'bug' type label.
  • Verify '[p0]' bracket tags correctly assign the 'priority:p0' label.
  • Verify keyword matching for areas (e.g., 'fuzz' mapping to 'testing').
  • Verify that if an issue already has a 'type' label (e.g., enhancement), the classifier does not add a second 'type' label (e.g., bug).
  • Verify the sync workflow ignores labels listed in the 'frozen' array even if their color or description differs in the JSON.
  • Unit test for jq logic inflection handling
  • Unit test for jq logic precedence rules
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify 'fix:' or 'bug:' prefixes correctly assign the 'bug' type label.
2. Verify '[p0]' bracket tags correctly assign the 'priority:p0' label.
3. Verify keyword matching for areas (e.g., 'fuzz' mapping to 'testing').
4. Verify that if an issue already has a 'type' label (e.g., enhancement), the classifier does not add a second 'type' label (e.g., bug).
5. Verify the sync workflow ignores labels listed in the 'frozen' array even if their color or description differs in the JSON.
6. Unit test for jq logic inflection handling
7. Unit test for jq logic precedence rules

🔴 HIGH RISK

The reesc function incorrectly uses context-property access (.c) instead of variable access ($c) for the regex capture group. This will cause the script to fail with a jq error whenever it encounters punctuation in a keyword.

34-34: Use the capture variable in reesc.

gsub exposes the named capture as $c. .c indexes the replacement input instead. A punctuation-bearing keyword can terminate jq, so triage receives no labels.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Honour status:do-not-automate as a global opt-out.

If $have contains status:do-not-automate, Line 157 blocks only new status labels. It still returns labels from other tiers. For example, fix: ... returns bug, and the workflow applies it despite the label contract in .github/labels.json.

Proposed fix
-  | if ($matched | not) then []
+  | if ($have | index("status:do-not-automate")) then []

GitHub CLI gh label create repository selection GH_REPO GITHUB_REPOSITORY outside local git repository official documentation

💡 Result:

To use GitHub CLI (gh) commands like gh label create outside of a local git repository, you must explicitly specify the target repository [1][2][3]. The GitHub CLI does not automatically detect a repository context unless it is run from within an initialized git directory linked to a GitHub remote [4][3]. Methods to specify the target repository: 1. Use the --repo flag: You can provide the repository directly in [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format [1][5][6]. gh label create "bug" --repo "owner/repo" 2. Use the GH_REPO environment variable: Setting this variable directs the CLI to use the specified repository for all commands in that session [7][8]. export GH_REPO="owner/repo" gh label create "bug" Note on GITHUB_REPOSITORY: While GITHUB_REPOSITORY is a standard environment variable used in GitHub Actions (e.g., set to owner/repo), the GitHub CLI does not natively read it as a fallback for repository selection [7]. To use it in a CI/CD workflow, you must explicitly map it to the GH_REPO variable or pass it via the --repo flag [7][9]. Example of mapping in a GitHub Actions workflow: - name: Create label env: GH_REPO: ${{ github.repository }} GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} run: gh label create "new-label" If you run commands outside of a git repository, ensure you have set the appropriate environment variables or flags to avoid errors related to missing git metadata [10][11][9].

Citations:


Set GH_REPO or pass --repo to both label commands.

This workflow does not check out the repository and does not set GH_REPO. Therefore, gh label create and gh label edit have no repository context. Their errors are suppressed, and the script continues without applying labels. Set GH_REPO: ${{ github.repository }} or add --repo "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" to both commands.

After enabling these writes, restrict push runs to github.ref_name == github.event.repository.default_branch so unmerged branch payloads cannot alter repository labels.

Re-check max-one tiers before applying labels.

HAVE is read at Lines 82-83, but the write occurs at Line 114. If a human adds enhancement after the read, the classifier still infers its previous type and adds a conflicting label. This violates the locked-tier invariant in .github/scripts/classify-issue.jq.

Serialise triage runs per issue and re-read the issue labels before the write. Recalculate or discard labels for tiers that became occupied.

Close the label provisioning gap before relying on automatic triage.

If label-triage.yml runs before labels.yml creates the canonical labels, apply is empty and the workflow exits successfully. Its triggers do not replay classification after synchronisation. Ensure provisioning completes before enabling triage, or trigger triage for issues missed during synchronisation.

Serialise repository label synchronisation runs.

Each run reads the existing labels before it writes mutations. If two runs see the same missing label, one run can receive duplicate-create failures. Lines 101-103 then fail that run when it loses every create race, although the other run completed the synchronisation.

Add a repository-scoped concurrency group. Do not cancel an active run.
