feat(labels): estate label tooling + auto-triage for new issues - #65
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughAdds generated label metadata, a jq issue classifier, and two GitHub Actions workflows. The workflows synchronise canonical labels and classify opened, reopened, or manually selected issues while preserving frozen labels. ChangesIssue label automation
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds automatic issue labeling and canonical label synchronization, but the current implementation can treat failed label reads as empty, create conflicting labels during overlapping triage runs, and silently report synchronization failures as success. These cases can leave issues or repository labels incorrect, so merge should wait for the failure and concurrency paths to be fixed or explicitly accepted. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

GitHub Actions official documentation concurrency groups cancel-in-progress workflow runs
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, the concurrency key is used to define a concurrency group, which ensures that only one workflow run or job with that specific group name executes at any given time [1][2]. By default, if a new run is triggered while another is in progress in the same group, the new run will enter a pending state, and existing pending runs in that group are canceled [1][3][2]. To automatically cancel any currently running jobs or workflows within the same concurrency group when a new one is triggered, you must set cancel-in-progress to true [1][2]. Example usage: concurrency: group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }} cancel-in-progress: true Key Considerations: - Scope: If you use the same concurrency group name across different workflows, the cancellation behavior will affect all of them [1][2]. To limit cancellation to a single workflow, incorporate unique identifiers like ${{ github.workflow }} into the group name [1][2]. - Dynamic Values: The cancel-in-progress setting can also be defined as an expression if you require conditional cancellation based on context variables [1][2]. - Limitations: You cannot use both queue: max and cancel-in-progress: true together, as this will trigger a workflow validation error [2][4].

Serialise label synchronisation runs.
Two pushes can run concurrently. Each run fetches labels at its own $GITHUB_SHA, then updates the shared repository labels. An older run can finish later and overwrite metadata from a newer commit. Add a workflow-specific concurrency group with cancel-in-progress: true.

Fail the job on unexpected API or payload errors.
set -uo pipefail does not enable errexit, and || true hides content-fetch failures. The existing-label request, jq parsing, and gh label create or gh label edit commands can fail while the final echo still succeeds. Treat only a missing .github/labels.json as expected, validate the JSON, and return a non-zero status for other failures.

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.

Serialise label-triage runs per issue.
The triage job reads HAVE, passes it to classify-issue.jq, and later calls gh issue edit without re-reading labels. Concurrent runs with different classifier inputs can use the same stale max-one-tier snapshot and add conflicting labels. Because the edit only adds labels, both labels may remain. Add a concurrency group keyed by issue number with stale-run cancellation, or re-read labels under equivalent serialisation.

Do not treat a failed label read as an empty label set.
When gh issue view fails, this code sets HAVE to [] and continues. The classifier can then add a second label in the type tier, which has a maximum of one label. This violates the additive-only contract.
Exit when the label read fails. Keep [] only for a successful response with no labels.
