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 automated issue labelling based on titles, tags and content.
    • Added a standardised set of issue labels covering types, areas, priorities, statuses and scopes.
    • Added automatic label synchronisation, including scheduled updates and protection for frozen labels.

Walkthrough

Adds a label taxonomy, a jq-based issue classifier, an issue triage workflow, and a label synchronisation workflow. The workflows fetch repository files through gh api, preserve frozen labels, and apply only defined labels.

Changes

Label automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Label taxonomy and classifier rules
.github/labels.json, .github/label-classifier.json
Defines 35 labels across six tiers. Adds title-prefix, bracket-tag, keyword, signal, precedence, tier-limit, and frozen-label rules.
jq issue classification
.github/scripts/classify-issue.jq
Matches title rules and keywords, selects a type, enforces tier limits, preserves existing labels, and emits confident suggestions.
Issue triage workflow
.github/workflows/label-triage.yml
Classifies opened or reopened issues, filters suggestions against repository labels, and applies matching labels.
Label synchronisation workflow
.github/workflows/labels.yml
Creates missing labels and updates colour or description drift while skipping frozen labels.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~40 minutes

Do not freeze the canonical security label.

The label synchronisation workflow skips every name in frozen. Therefore, it cannot create or correct the canonical security label. A repository that does not already define security will never receive this area label.

Remove security from the upstream frozen-label source and regenerate this file.

Also applies to: 241-258

Exit when the existing-label read fails.

When gh issue view fails, line 83 sets HAVE to an empty array. The classifier then treats a labelled issue as unlabelled and can add a conflicting max-one label. This violates the additive-only requirement during an API failure.

Exit successfully without changes when this read fails.

Proposed fix
-          HAVE=$(gh issue view "$NUM" -R "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" \
-                   --json labels --jq '[.labels[].name]' 2>/dev/null) || HAVE='[]'

GitHub Actions workflow runs concurrent by default concurrency groups cancel-in-progress documentation GITHUB_SHA push workflow_dispatch

💡 Result:

GitHub Actions workflows run concurrently by default, meaning multiple instances of the same workflow or job can execute simultaneously [1][2]. You can control this behavior using the concurrency keyword [3][4]. Key Concurrency Concepts: - Concurrency Groups: When you define a concurrency key, GitHub Actions groups workflows or jobs into a concurrency group [3][4]. Only one workflow or job in that group can run at a time [3][5]. - cancel-in-progress: This option defaults to false [6][7]. When set to true, it cancels any currently running workflow or job in the same concurrency group when a new one is queued [3][4]. - Default Queue Behavior: By default, if a job is in progress, any new job in that same concurrency group is placed in a pending state [3][4]. If a new job is queued while another is already pending, the existing pending job is canceled and replaced by the new one [3][4][2]. Important Considerations for Configuration: - Avoid Unique Keys: Never use GITHUB_SHA, GITHUB_RUN_ID, or any other unique identifier in your concurrency group name [7][8]. Because these values change for every run, each run will be assigned a unique group, effectively disabling your concurrency control [7][8]. - Recommended Pattern: Use dynamic group names based on the workflow and branch/ref to isolate runs appropriately [6][7]. For example: concurrency: group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }} cancel-in-progress: true - Event Types (push vs. workflow_dispatch): The concurrency configuration applies regardless of the trigger event [5]. If you trigger a workflow via workflow_dispatch while a push-triggered run of the same group is in progress, the same cancellation or queuing rules will apply based on your settings [3][4]. - Conditional Cancellation: You can use expressions with cancel-in-progress to apply different strategies based on the branch or environment (e.g., enable it for feature branches but disable it for main) [3][6][7].

Serialise overlapping label synchronisation runs.

This workflow reads .github/labels.json at each run’s GITHUB_SHA, then creates or edits labels. Multiple trigger runs can execute concurrently, so an older run can finish later and restore older label metadata. Add a stable workflow-level concurrency group with cancel-in-progress: true.

Fail the workflow when label synchronisation cannot complete.

set -uo pipefail does not enable errexit, and the fetch pipeline is suppressed with || true. The jq process substitutions and gh label create/gh label edit calls also do not propagate failures. A missing or malformed payload, API failure, or write failure can therefore report success while labels remain stale. label-triage.yml filters classifier output against the repository’s current labels and may omit labels absent because synchronisation failed.

Validate the payload before reading .frozen. Propagate fetch and parse failures. Count label-write failures and exit with a non-zero status when any occur.

GitHub CLI gh label create edit repository resolution GH_REPO GITHUB_REPOSITORY no local git repository

💡 Result:

To use the GitHub CLI (gh) command gh label create without being inside a local git repository, you must explicitly specify the target repository [1][2]. The GitHub CLI generally requires a local git repository to infer the context (owner/repository), but you can override this behavior using the --repo flag or specific environment variables [3][2]. The following methods allow you to execute gh label create when no local git repository is present: 1. Using the --repo flag: Pass the repository in [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format directly to the command [1][4]: gh label create "label-name" --repo "owner/repository" 2. Using the GH_REPO environment variable: You can set the GH_REPO environment variable to the desired target repository. The GitHub CLI will use this value for commands that otherwise require a local git repository context [3][5]: export GH_REPO="owner/repository" gh label create "label-name" Note on GITHUB_REPOSITORY: While GITHUB_REPOSITORY is a standard environment variable provided by GitHub Actions [5], the GitHub CLI prioritizes GH_REPO [3][5]. Although there has been community discussion regarding gh reading GITHUB_REPOSITORY automatically, it is recommended to explicitly set GH_REPO if you are running in a CI environment without a checked-out git repository to ensure consistent behavior [5][6]. Summary of Precedence: When determining the target repository, gh generally follows this order of precedence [5][6]: 1. The --repo flag (highest priority) [5][2] 2. The GH_REPO environment variable [5] 3. The local git repository configuration (if present) [5][2]

Citations:


Pass the repository explicitly to both gh label commands.

This workflow runs without a checkout and does not set GH_REPO. The gh api calls do not provide repository context to later commands. gh label create and gh label edit can therefore fail. Add --repo "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" to both commands.

Pull Request Overview

The PR introduces a comprehensive label management and triage system. While the overall structure is sound and Codacy results are up to standards, there are critical implementation flaws in the workflow automation that must be addressed before merging.

Specifically, the use of printf %q in the triage workflow will cause literal backslashes to be passed to the GitHub CLI, likely breaking the label application process for any labels containing spaces. Additionally, the label synchronization logic relies on a TSV format that is susceptible to breakage if label descriptions contain tab characters. Finally, the PR description mentions modifications to .github/workflows/actions.lock which are absent from the current diff, representing a gap in the expected delivery.

About this PR

  • The classifier logic in JQ is relatively complex (handling inflections and boundary conditions), but no unit tests are included in the PR to verify the regular expressions. Consider adding a small test suite or sample input/output validation for the JQ script.
  • Reliance on 'gh api' and 'base64 -d' to fetch script payloads within the workflow is brittle. Consider referencing local scripts directly if possible or ensuring robust error handling is in place.

Test suggestions

  • Verify that a title with a valid prefix (e.g., 'feat: ...') results in an 'enhancement' label.
  • Verify that an issue already having a 'bug' label does not receive an 'enhancement' label from a 'feat:' prefix (Tier 1 limit).
  • Verify that a title with no recognizable keywords or prefixes results in no labels being added.
  • Verify that the label sync workflow updates existing label colors/descriptions but skips 'frozen' labels.
  • Verify that bracket tags like '[p0]' are correctly mapped to 'priority:p0'.
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify that a title with a valid prefix (e.g., 'feat: ...') results in an 'enhancement' label.
2. Verify that an issue already having a 'bug' label does not receive an 'enhancement' label from a 'feat:' prefix (Tier 1 limit).
3. Verify that a title with no recognizable keywords or prefixes results in no labels being added.
4. Verify that the label sync workflow updates existing label colors/descriptions but skips 'frozen' labels.
5. Verify that bracket tags like '[p0]' are correctly mapped to 'priority:p0'.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

The expansion of label arguments using printf %q will pass literal backslashes to the gh command for any label name containing spaces or shell-special characters. Use a shell array to safely collect and pass the flags instead.

Try running the following prompt in your coding agent:

In .github/workflows/label-triage.yml, replace the gh issue edit call and its preceding logic with a version that builds an argument array, for example:

opts=()
for l in "${apply[@]}"; do opts+=(--add-label "$l"); done
gh issue edit "$NUM" -R "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" "${opts[@]}"

⚪ LOW RISK

Nitpick: The signals function iterates through every keyword and performs an independent regex test. While currently manageable, this will slow down triage significantly as more keywords are added. Consider refactoring the logic to consolidate keywords into a single alternation regex pattern.

Try running the following prompt in your IDE agent:

Refactor the signals and kwtype functions in .github/scripts/classify-issue.jq to improve performance. Instead of calling kwhit (which builds and executes a regex) for every keyword in a loop, pre-process the keyword lists into a consolidated regex structure or use an alternation pattern.

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.

20-26: Serialise label synchronisation runs.

Concurrent runs can apply different .github/labels.json revisions out of order. An older run can finish later and restore obsolete label metadata. Add a stable workflow-level concurrency group with cancel-in-progress: true.

.github/workflows/label-triage.yml (1)

82-84: Keep the existing failed-read safeguard.

gh issue view failures still replace HAVE with []. The classifier can therefore treat a labelled issue as unlabelled and add a conflicting max-one label. This is the same unresolved finding as the existing review comment.

site:docs.github.com/en/actions workflow syntax jobs.<job_id>.concurrency github.event.issue.number inputs context cancel-in-progress

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, the jobs.<job_id>.concurrency syntax allows you to control the concurrent execution of specific jobs within a workflow [1][2]. By defining a concurrency group, you ensure that only one job or workflow run with that specific group identifier is active at any given time [1][2]. Key components of this syntax include: 1. group: A string or expression that defines the concurrency group. Using dynamic expressions allows you to scope concurrency to specific resources, such as an issue or pull request, using context variables like ${{ github.event.issue.number }} [1][2]. 2. cancel-in-progress: A boolean (true or false) that determines whether to automatically cancel any currently running job or workflow in the same concurrency group when a new one is queued [2][3]. Context Usage: - At the job level (jobs.<job_id>.concurrency), you have access to a broader set of contexts, including github, inputs, vars, needs, strategy, and matrix [1][4]. - This allows for powerful configurations, such as creating a unique concurrency group for each issue by using ${{ github.event.issue.number }} [1]. Example: If you want to ensure only one job runs per issue and cancel any previous runs for that same issue, you can use: jobs: my-job: runs-on: ubuntu-latest concurrency: group: issue-${{ github.event.issue.number }} cancel-in-progress: true steps: - run: echo "Running for issue ${{ github.event.issue.number }}" By setting cancel-in-progress: true, GitHub Actions will terminate any older, currently running jobs that share the same computed group name, effectively replacing them with the most recent request [2][3]. Note that cancel-in-progress can also be specified as an expression using allowed contexts if you need conditional cancellation [2][3].

Serialise label triage per issue.

The job reads HAVE before it runs gh issue edit. Without a concurrency group, an issue event and a manual dispatch for the same issue can overlap. A run may therefore classify from a stale label state and add a label in a max-one tier after another run or user has added one.

Add this job-level group:

concurrency:
  group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.event.issue.number || inputs.issue }}
  cancel-in-progress: true
