📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughAdds canonical label definitions, a jq issue classifier, an issue-triage workflow, and a label-synchronisation workflow. The automation uses repository-hosted files, preserves existing and frozen labels, filters unknown labels, and handles unavailable data without failing. ChangesIssue Label Automation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds automated label synchronization and issue triage, but the synchronization can act on malformed runtime data without failing, potentially removing frozen-label protection or falsely reporting success. Overlapping runs can also produce spurious failures, and non-frozen label updates may not converge. Merge should wait for these handling fixes. 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.

Add a concurrency group.
Three triggers can overlap: workflow_dispatch, a push that touches .github/labels.json, and the monthly cron. Two concurrent runs read the same label set and then both try to create the same missing label. One create fails, failed increases, and the run reports a failure that is not real drift.

Validate the fetched payload before you act on it. The step reads frozen and labels from a file fetched at runtime and never checks the jq exit status. A payload that lacks either key does not stop the run: it removes frozen protection or turns the sync into the silent no-op described at Lines 42-44.

gh label create --force flag GitHub CLI documentation
💡 Result:
The --force flag for the gh label create command in the GitHub CLI is used to update an existing label instead of failing if the label already exists [1][2]. When you use --force, the command will update the label's color and description if a label with the specified name is already present in the repository [1][3]. Without this flag, the command will typically return an error (HTTP 422: Validation Failed) if you attempt to create a label that already exists [4]. This functionality makes the command idempotent, which is particularly useful in automation scripts or CI/CD pipelines where you want to ensure labels exist with specific configurations without triggering errors upon re-runs [4]. Usage example: gh label create --color --description --force [1][4]

Use gh label create --force for non-frozen labels.
gh label create --force updates an existing label's colour and description instead of failing. For non-frozen labels, this can replace the create/compare/edit branches and remove reliance on the existing snapshot. Keep plain create for frozen labels because --force can overwrite them. Update the created and updated counters in the report.
