feat(labels): estate label tooling + auto-triage for new issues - #36
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThis change adds a generated label taxonomy, a jq-based issue classifier, and two checkout-free GitHub Actions workflows. One workflow synchronises repository labels. The other applies confident labels to newly opened or reopened issues. ChangesLabel automation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The label synchronization workflow may report failure when overlapping runs attempt to create the same labels, despite the labels being synchronized successfully. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up to serialize these runs. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Full details: Description checkExplanation The description explains the main purpose and key behavioural constraints, but it does not follow the required template. It omits the required Summary, Changes, RSR Quality Checklist, Testing, and Screenshots sections. Resolution Update the description to use the repository template. Add the required headings, list the key changes, complete the applicable checklist items, and document the testing performed. Add screenshots or terminal output, or state that they are not applicable. Full details: Docstring CoverageExplanation No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files. (5 skipped: 5 unsupported.)

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.

GitHub CLI gh label create existing label exit status documentation
💡 Result:
When using the GitHub CLI (gh) to create a label, if the label already exists, the gh label create command will fail with a non-zero exit status (typically 1, indicating a general error) [1][2][3]. The command will output an error message similar to "HTTP 422: Validation Failed" indicating that the label name already exists [4][5][6]. To handle this scenario and prevent the command from failing, you should use the --force (-f) flag [7][8][9]. When the --force flag is provided, gh label create will update the existing label's color and description instead of returning an error, making the command idempotent [7][6]. Summary of behavior: - Without --force: The command fails with an exit status of 1 when the label exists [4][1][6]. - With --force: The command updates the existing label and exits with a status of 0 (success) [7][6].

Serialise label synchronisation runs.
Two concurrent jobs can read the same label snapshot at .github/workflows/labels.yml:58-59. If one job creates the missing labels first, the other job can fail each gh label create call and exit with status 1 at lines 101-103, although synchronisation is complete.
Add a repository-scoped concurrency group with cancel-in-progress: false.
