feat(labels): estate label tooling + auto-triage for new issues - #22

📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughAdds a generated GitHub label taxonomy, jq-based issue classification, and two workflows. One workflow synchronises labels. The other applies confident, additive labels to newly opened, reopened, or manually selected issues. ChangesLabel management
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new issue-labeling automation can silently misclassify issues when label reads fail, fail to synchronize labels when repository context is unavailable, and modify issues that explicitly prohibit bot or sweep automation. These bounded correctness and behavior risks remain at the current head and require owner follow-up before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Honour status:do-not-automate before classification.
If HAVE contains this label, the classifier can still emit a type label and Lines 105-108 add it. For example, an opted-out issue titled fix: ... receives bug. .github/labels.json Lines 199-202 define this label as an opt-out for bots and sweeps. Exit successfully before invoking jq when the label is present.

Set the repository for each gh label command.
This workflow does not check out a Git repository, so gh label create and gh label edit cannot resolve a repository from the working directory. Pass --repo "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" to both commands, or set GH_REPO. The redirected errors can otherwise leave the step successful without creating or updating labels.

Pull Request Overview
The PR successfully implements a label taxonomy and triage system that adheres to the 'no-Python' and 'no-external-GHA' constraints. While the solution is technically compliant with the estate's architectural requirements and Codacy grade, there is a critical logic error in how labels with spaces are handled in the triage workflow which will lead to command failures. Additionally, there are significant gaps in testing for the complex classify-issue.jq logic and missing configuration files (actions.lock) that were promised in the PR description. These issues should be addressed to ensure the automation is robust and respects the best-effort execution policy.
About this PR
- Despite references to a test suite in code comments, no unit or integration tests for
classify-issue.jqare present. Given the complexity of the regex-based keyword matching, a CI-gated test script is highly recommended. - The
.github/workflows/actions.lockfile mentioned in the PR description is missing from the commit. Please ensure this is included to maintain environment stability.
Test suggestions
- Missing recommended test scenario: Classification of issue titles using conventional commit prefixes (e.g., 'feat:', 'fix:')
- Missing recommended test scenario: Classification of issue titles using bracketed tags (e.g., '[security]')
- Missing recommended test scenario: Ensuring the classifier respects existing labels in 'max-1' tiers and does not add duplicates or overrides
- Missing recommended test scenario: Verification of inflection-tolerant keyword matching (e.g., 'test' matching 'tests' or 'implement' matching 'implementation')
- Missing recommended test scenario: Label synchronization correctly creating missing labels even if they are marked as 'frozen'
- Missing recommended test scenario: Label synchronization updating metadata for drifted, non-frozen labels
- Missing recommended test scenario: Classifier returning an empty set when no 'type' label is identified (mandatory type constraint)
- Automated verification of
.github/scripts/classify-issue.jqvia a test runner

🔴 HIGH RISK
The unquoted expansion of printf %q will cause labels with spaces to be split into multiple arguments incorrectly. Use Bash array expansion to safely repeat the flag for each element.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK
Suggestion: Parsing label data using TSV is fragile when descriptions contain special characters. Consider updating the workflow to use JSON for label comparisons to handle special characters and newlines more robustly.

⚪ LOW RISK
Suggestion: This jq implementation is complex and its logic is currently uncovered by automated tests, making it prone to regression. Consider adding a bash-based test script to verify classification outcomes against sample issue titles.
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.

Stop processing when the existing-label read fails.
|| HAVE='[]' treats an API error as an issue with no labels. The classifier uses have to suppress existing labels and lock every max-1 tier. A transient failure can therefore add a conflicting label to an issue that already has a human classification. Exit successfully before invoking jq when this read fails. Keep [] only for a successful response with no labels.
