--add-label and each label are stored as separate array elements, preserving

applying ADD, then compares that fresh snapshot against the earlier HAVE value
and skips the edit if labels changed. Keep the classifier snapshot logic intact,

Fail closed when the existing-label read fails.
When gh issue view fails, || HAVE='[]' passes an empty label set to the classifier. The classifier then does not lock existing max-one tiers, so it can add conflicting type, priority, status, meta, or scope labels. Exit before classification when the read fails. Use [] only after a successful empty response.

GitHub CLI gh issue edit --add-label documentation additive labels
💡 Result:
To add one or more labels to an issue using the GitHub CLI, use the gh issue edit command with the --add-label flag [1][2]. You can provide a single label or a comma-separated list of multiple labels [1][2]. For example: gh issue edit --add-label "bug,help wanted" If you need to apply the same label(s) to multiple issues at once, you can specify multiple issue numbers separated by spaces [3][2]: gh issue edit --add-label "documentation" The command also supports removing labels using the --remove-label flag, which can be combined with --add-label in the same command [1][4].

Re-check labels before applying the result.
HAVE is a snapshot used by the classifier to enforce max-one tiers. If a human adds a max-one label before gh issue edit --add-label runs, the workflow can add a conflicting label. Re-read the labels immediately before the edit and skip the edit if the snapshot changed.

Set the repository for both label mutation commands.
This job does not check out a repository or set GH_REPO. Add --repo "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" to both gh label create and gh label edit. Without an explicit repository, these commands can fail. Their errors are suppressed, so missing labels and metadata drift can remain unresolved while the workflow reports success. The triage workflow then rejects classifications that use missing labels.

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.

Do not discard classification when canonical labels are unavailable.
When DEFINED contains no classifier result, Lines 100-102 exit successfully and discard ADD. .github/workflows/labels.yml does not trigger or retry label-triage.yml. An issue opened before label synchronisation completes, or during a synchronisation failure, can therefore remain unlabelled. Add a retry or re-dispatch path, or enforce workflow ordering.

Prevent overlapping label synchronisation runs.
Push, schedule, and manual runs can overlap. An older run can apply metadata from an older .github/labels.json after a newer run completes. This can leave label colour or description drift until the next synchronisation.
Add repository-scoped workflow concurrency with cancel-in-progress: true.
