Up to standards ✅🟢 Issues
|
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.

Pull Request Overview
The pull request is generally up to standards according to Codacy; however, there are critical verification gaps and logic risks that should be addressed before merging. The most significant concern is the introduction of a highly complex JQ-based classification engine without the 'parity tests' referenced in the code comments. Without tests/test-classifier-parity.py, there is no automated assurance that the 700+ lines of regex-heavy logic function correctly.
Technically, the label synchronization workflow contains a medium-severity bug where shell variables passed to awk can result in mangled label names if they contain backslashes. Additionally, the triage workflow currently suppresses stderr from jq, which will make it impossible to debug syntax or regex errors in production. The reliance on gh api to fetch scripts at runtime also introduces a point of failure linked to GitHub API availability and branch state.
About this PR
- The PR references 'tests/test-classifier-parity.py' in multiple comments, but this file is missing from the changeset. Given the complexity of the JQ logic, these tests are essential for verifying the canonical taxonomy.
- The triage workflow relies on 'gh api' to fetch the classification script and rules at runtime. While this bypasses 'actions.lock' constraints, it introduces a hard dependency on GitHub API availability and the existence of these files in the HEAD branch during execution.
Test suggestions
- Issue title with conventional prefix (e.g., 'fix:') is correctly classified as 'bug'.
- Issue title with bracketed tag (e.g., '[estate]') is correctly classified with 'scope:estate'.
- Keyword matching (e.g., 'z3' in title) correctly identifies the 'proofs' area.
- Classifier returns empty list if no 'type' can be determined (mandatory type requirement).
- Classifier skips applying a label if the issue already has a label in that tier.
- Label sync workflow successfully creates a missing label.
- Label sync workflow ignores color/description changes for labels marked as 'frozen'.
- Verify JQ classifier logic against the missing 'tests/test-classifier-parity.py' suite.
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Issue title with conventional prefix (e.g., 'fix:') is correctly classified as 'bug'.
2. Issue title with bracketed tag (e.g., '[estate]') is correctly classified with 'scope:estate'.
3. Keyword matching (e.g., 'z3' in title) correctly identifies the 'proofs' area.
4. Classifier returns empty list if no 'type' can be determined (mandatory type requirement).
5. Classifier skips applying a label if the issue already has a label in that tier.
6. Label sync workflow successfully creates a missing label.
7. Label sync workflow ignores color/description changes for labels marked as 'frozen'.
8. Verify JQ classifier logic against the missing 'tests/test-classifier-parity.py' suite.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK
The classification logic is exceptionally complex for a jq script, utilizing dense regex and recursion-like structures. Relying on this without visible test coverage makes it a high-risk component. It is highly recommended to include the parity tests referenced in the comments or a shell-based test suite to verify the 700+ lines of rules.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK
This implementation has two main drawbacks: first, passing shell variables to awk via -v triggers escape sequence expansion, which will mangle label names containing backslashes (e.g., 'C++\n'). Second, the O(N^2) approach of calling awk inside a loop is inefficient for large label sets. Use the ENVIRON array for safety and consider using jq to perform a single-step join/diff.

⚪ LOW RISK
Suggestion: Suppressing stderr here prevents visibility into failures within the jq script (such as syntax errors or regex limits). Removing the redirection will allow CI logs to capture errors for troubleshooting.

Honour status:do-not-automate before emitting labels.
If $have contains status:do-not-automate, this code only locks the status tier. It can still emit bug, areas, metadata, or scope labels. For example, fix: crash on startup emits bug. This conflicts with .github/labels.json, which defines this label as “Bots and sweeps must not touch this issue”.
Return [] when the issue already has this label.

Serialise label synchronisation runs.
A manual dispatch can overlap a push or scheduled run. Both runs can read the same label snapshot, then one run can fail gh label create after the other creates the label. Add workflow concurrency to prevent misleading failed runs and redundant API mutations.
