📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughAdds generated label definitions and classifier rules. Adds a jq classifier for issue titles. Adds workflows for issue triage and canonical label synchronisation. ChangesLabel automation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR adds automated label synchronization and issue triage, but concurrent synchronization can fail and stale label data can result in conflicting issue-type labels. It is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on these bounded workflow risks. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

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.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Refresh issue labels immediately before the mutation.
Lines 82-83 capture a stale label snapshot. If a maintainer adds enhancement after this read to an issue titled fix: ..., line 114 can still add bug. The issue then has two type labels, despite the additive-only and no-human-override contract.
Read the labels again and rerun the classifier immediately before gh issue edit. A workflow concurrency group can also serialise automatic runs, but it cannot protect manual label changes.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Serialise label synchronisation runs.
Concurrent push, schedule, or manual runs can read the same missing label. One run then creates it, while the other run fails its duplicate create. Line 101 converts that expected race into a failed workflow.
