Owner

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.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added automated issue labelling based on title keywords, tags, status, type and scope.
    • Added workflows to apply labels automatically to newly opened or reopened issues.
    • Added scheduled and manual synchronisation for the repository’s standard label set.
    • Preserved existing and protected labels while updating missing or outdated labels.
  • Chores

    • Added centralised label definitions, classification rules and label metadata for consistent issue management.

Walkthrough

Adds a canonical label registry, jq-based issue classification, and GitHub Actions workflows. The workflows synchronise label definitions and apply additive labels to newly opened or reopened issues.

Changes

Issue Label Automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Label taxonomy and registry
.github/label-classifier.json, .github/labels.json
Defines title and bracket rules, keyword signals, label tiers, precedence, supported types, frozen labels, and the generated label catalogue.
Issue title classification
.github/scripts/classify-issue.jq
Normalises issue titles, resolves prefixes and bracket tags, infers labels, enforces tier limits, and excludes existing labels.
GitHub label workflows
.github/workflows/label-triage.yml, .github/workflows/labels.yml
Fetches repository definitions through gh api, applies additive issue labels, creates missing labels, updates non-frozen label metadata, and handles failures without failing the run.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a1a7c

The label synchronization workflow may silently fail to create or update the repository’s canonical labels, leaving label maintenance incomplete. The change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up for this bounded integration risk.

GitHub CLI gh label create edit repository selection --repo GH_REPO no local repository

💡 Result:

To create a label on a GitHub repository without being inside a local repository directory, you can use the --repo flag with the gh label create command [1][2][3]. The syntax is: gh label create --repo <[HOST/]OWNER/REPO> [flags] For example, to create a label named "bug" in a repository owned by "octocat" named "hello-world", you would run: gh label create bug --repo octocat/hello-world --description "Something is not working" --color E99695 Key details: * The --repo flag allows you to target a specific repository regardless of your current working directory [1][3]. * You must provide the repository in the [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format [1][4]. * Other flags such as --description and --color can be used as normal [1][3]. * If you are running this in an environment where you are not authenticated or need to target a specific enterprise host, ensure you are logged in via gh auth login or that your environment is configured correctly (e.g., GH_HOST) [2][5].

Pass the repository to both label mutations.

This workflow does not check out the repository or set GH_REPO. Therefore, gh label create and gh label edit cannot select a repository. Their errors are hidden, and their failures do not stop the job. Add --repo "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" to both commands.

Pull Request Overview

While the project is technically 'up to standards' according to Codacy, this PR cannot be merged in its current state due to a high-severity logic error in the JQ-based classifier. Specifically, the reesc function uses invalid variable interpolation that will cause the script to crash at runtime.

Furthermore, there is a discrepancy between the PR description and the provided diff; files like .github/workflows/actions.lock and the Python test suite are missing. The implementation also fails a core acceptance criterion for the [estate] tag, which lacks the mandatory type label required to trigger automated classification. Finally, the complexity of the JQ logic combined with zero test coverage in this PR creates a high risk for regression in estate-wide automation.

About this PR

  • Multiple required files are missing from this PR: 1) The PR description mentions .github/workflows/actions.lock as [], but it is absent. 2) The classifier script references tests/test-classifier-parity.py, which is also missing. These must be included to verify the logic and satisfy dependency lock requirements.

Test suggestions

  • Missing recommended test scenario: Classification: 'feat:' prefix correctly maps to 'enhancement' label
  • Missing recommended test scenario: Classification: Area keywords (e.g., 'workflow') map to correct area labels (e.g., 'cicd')
  • Missing recommended test scenario: Classification: Existing 'type' label prevents bot from adding a second 'type' label
  • Missing recommended test scenario: Classification: 'Silent when unsure' returns empty results for ambiguous titles
  • Missing recommended test scenario: Sync: Missing canonical labels are created in the repository
  • Missing recommended test scenario: Sync: Drifting label colors or descriptions are updated to match configuration
  • Missing recommended test scenario: Automatable unit tests for complex regex generation in .github/scripts/classify-issue.jq
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Missing recommended test scenario: Classification: 'feat:' prefix correctly maps to 'enhancement' label
2. Missing recommended test scenario: Classification: Area keywords (e.g., 'workflow') map to correct area labels (e.g., 'cicd')
3. Missing recommended test scenario: Classification: Existing 'type' label prevents bot from adding a second 'type' label
4. Missing recommended test scenario: Classification: 'Silent when unsure' returns empty results for ambiguous titles
5. Missing recommended test scenario: Sync: Missing canonical labels are created in the repository
6. Missing recommended test scenario: Sync: Drifting label colors or descriptions are updated to match configuration
7. Missing recommended test scenario: Automatable unit tests for complex regex generation in .github/scripts/classify-issue.jq

🔴 HIGH RISK

The 'reesc' function will crash at runtime because '(.c)' is not a valid way to reference regex groups and attempts to access a non-existent JQ variable. Use a literal string with regex backreferences like '"\\&"' to escape special characters for regex consumption.

# (`port` + `ion` = "portion", and `port` is a live keyword). They are enabled
# only for shapes that are unambiguously truncated stems -- `-at`
# (instantiat, investigat, adjudicat) and `-ment` (document, implement).

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

The inflection logic in the kwrx function generates regex patterns by appending suffixes to keywords. This approach is sensitive to the keyword format in label-classifier.json. If a keyword is already provided in an inflected form (like 'tests' on line 100), the resulting regex might match unintended strings (e.g., 'testss'). Since this script lacks local test coverage and is a critical part of estate-wide automation, consider refactoring the kwrx function to detect existing suffixes or strip them before generating patterns.

Suggestion: The 'estate' bracket tag should include '"type": "chore"' to match the behavior of the 'estate:' prefix and ensure the mandatory type requirement is met.

⚪ LOW RISK

Nitpick: The keyword tests is redundant because the stem test is already defined (line 97) and the classification script automatically handles common inflections like plurals. Reducing redundancy improves maintainability.

Suggested change
"tests": {
"test": {
"type": "testing"
},

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.
