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.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added automated label classification for newly opened and reopened issues and pull requests.
    • Added a standardised repository label set with descriptions, colours and protection rules.
    • Added automatic label synchronisation when configuration changes, on demand or monthly.
    • Added support for preserving protected labels while updating other label details.

Label automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Taxonomy and label contracts
.github/label-classifier.json, .github/labels.json
Defines the label set, classification mappings, tiers, precedence, valid types, and frozen labels.
Issue title classification
.github/scripts/classify-issue.jq
Parses title prefixes, bracket tags, keywords, and signals. It preserves existing labels and emits limited, confident labels.
Issue triage integration
.github/workflows/label-triage.yml
Runs classification for new or reopened issues, filters undefined labels, and applies valid suggestions.
Canonical label synchronisation
.github/workflows/labels.yml
Creates missing labels and updates non-frozen label metadata on manual, push, and scheduled runs.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8e671

The new automation can silently skip synchronization, leave canonical labels incomplete, or add conflicting classifications when reads, validation, or updates fail. Merge should wait until these paths fail closed, re-check labels before editing, validate configuration, and report any remaining update failures.

A rabbit sorts labels in rows,
Prefixes and keywords guide where each goes.
Frozen tags stay still in their place,
New signals hop through the workflow race,
And tidy labels bloom with grace.

Pull Request Overview

The PR successfully implements an automated triage and label synchronization system that adheres to technical constraints (no Python, no external actions). Codacy results indicate the code is up to standards.

However, there is a logic bug in the label synchronization workflow where labels marked as 'frozen' are entirely skipped, preventing their initial creation in new repositories. This includes critical taxonomy labels such as 'security'. Additionally, while the PR description mentions updating the actions lockfile, the file is absent from the diff. Finally, the sophisticated JQ logic for issue classification lacks a corresponding test suite, creating a maintainability risk as the taxonomy grows.

About this PR

  • The PR description mentions adding the new workflows to .github/workflows/actions.lock, but this file is missing from the provided diff. Please ensure it is included to maintain compliance with action pinning requirements.

Test suggestions

  • Missing recommended test scenario: Classification of issue with conventional commit prefix (e.g., 'feat: ...')
  • Missing recommended test scenario: Classification of issue with bracketed tags (e.g., '[p0] [estate]')
  • Missing recommended test scenario: Keyword area matching for specialized domains (e.g., 'proof obligation')
  • Missing recommended test scenario: Verification that classifier respects existing labels in max-1 tiers (e.g., type, status)
  • Missing recommended test scenario: Label sync workflow correctly updates color/description drift for existing labels
  • Missing recommended test scenario: Label sync workflow ignores labels specified in the 'frozen' list
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Missing recommended test scenario: Classification of issue with conventional commit prefix (e.g., 'feat: ...')
2. Missing recommended test scenario: Classification of issue with bracketed tags (e.g., '[p0] [estate]')
3. Missing recommended test scenario: Keyword area matching for specialized domains (e.g., 'proof obligation')
4. Missing recommended test scenario: Verification that classifier respects existing labels in max-1 tiers (e.g., type, status)
5. Missing recommended test scenario: Label sync workflow correctly updates color/description drift for existing labels
6. Missing recommended test scenario: Label sync workflow ignores labels specified in the 'frozen' list
Low confidence findings
  • The triage workflow depends on fetching file contents via 'gh api'. Ensure the GITHUB_TOKEN has sufficient 'contents: read' permissions, otherwise the classifier will silently exit without applying labels.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

This logic prevents frozen labels from being created in repositories where they are missing. This will block automated triage for critical labels like security that are included in the frozen list.

Try running the following prompt in your coding agent:

Modify .github/workflows/labels.yml to allow the creation of labels even if they are in the FROZEN list, while ensuring that the update/edit logic is still skipped for existing frozen labels.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

Suggestion: This JQ script implements a sophisticated classification engine with dynamic regex and hierarchical tier enforcement. To ensure its reliability as the label taxonomy evolves, consider adding a local test suite to validate various issue titles against expected outputs. Note that comments in the script reference a non-existent tests/test-classifier-parity.py file.

Try running the following prompt in your IDE agent:

Create a shell script tests/test-classifier.sh that runs .github/scripts/classify-issue.jq against a set of test cases defined in a JSON file (containing issue titles, existing labels, and expected output labels). Include test cases for conventional commit prefixes, bracketed tags, and inflection-based keyword matches (e.g., 'testing' vs 'tests').

Iterate the arrays inside every any expression.

any(. as $k | ...) binds the complete keyword array to $k. At Lines 96-99, kwrx($k) then calls endswith on an array and jq exits with an error. label-triage.yml suppresses that error, so the workflow silently applies no labels.

  • .github/scripts/classify-issue.jq#L102-L107: change . as $k to .[] as $k.

GitHub CLI documentation: how do gh label createandgh label editselect a repository when--repoandGH_REPO are absent?

💡 Result:

When the --repo flag and the GH_REPO environment variable are absent, the GitHub CLI (gh) determines the target repository by inspecting the Git configuration of the current working directory [1]. Specifically, the CLI identifies the repository by looking at the configured Git remotes [1][2]. The resolution process generally follows these principles: 1. Remote Detection: The CLI attempts to map the current directory to a GitHub repository by analyzing its Git remotes [1][2]. 2. Remote Priority: In scenarios with multiple remotes (such as a triangular workflow involving an upstream repository and a fork), the CLI prioritizes them in a specific order to determine the "base" repository [3]. The common default resolution order for remotes is typically upstream, then github, then origin, followed by any others [3]. 3. Interactive Selection: If the CLI cannot automatically determine a clear base repository from the remotes (for example, when it is ambiguous), it may prompt the user to interactively select which repository should be treated as the base [2]. 4. Caching: Once the base repository is successfully resolved, the GitHub CLI may cache this information in the local repository's Git configuration to avoid redundant lookups in future command executions [2]. If the command is executed outside of a directory initialized with Git, or if the directory lacks relevant remotes, the command will fail because it cannot infer the target repository context [1].

🌐 Web query:

site:cli.github.com/manual/gh_label_create site:cli.github.com/manual/gh_label_edit repository selection --repo GH_REPO current directory

💡 Result:

By default, the GitHub CLI (gh) automatically detects the repository context if you are currently inside a local Git repository that has a remote configured to a GitHub URL [1][2]. If you are outside of the target repository or need to specify a repository other than the one associated with your current directory, you can use the -R or --repo flag [1][2]. This flag accepts the repository in the format [HOST/]OWNER/REPO [1][2]. For example: gh label list --repo OWNER/REPO There is no specific "set-default" command required to associate a local directory with a GitHub repository, as the GitHub CLI relies on the local Git remote configuration to determine the current repository. If you are in a directory that is not a Git repository or has different remotes, using the --repo flag is the standard way to target the desired repository [1][2].

Citations:


Pass the repository to both label mutation commands.

This workflow does not check out the repository or set GH_REPO. Without --repo, gh label create and gh label edit require local Git repository context. Their errors are suppressed, so the step can succeed without creating or updating labels.

Add --repo "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" to both commands.

GitHub CLI gh issue edit --add-label documentation adds labels without removing existing labels

💡 Result:

The command gh issue edit --add-label [LABEL] correctly adds the specified label(s) to an issue without removing any existing labels [1][2]. The GitHub CLI (gh) was updated to use piecemeal modification flags for metadata fields such as labels, assignees, and projects [3]. When using the --add-label flag, the CLI only appends the new label(s) to the existing set [1][4]. To remove a label, you must explicitly use the --remove-label flag in the same command or as a separate operation [1][3][5]. For example, to add new labels while simultaneously removing an unwanted one, you can combine the flags: gh issue edit [ISSUE-NUMBER] --add-label "new-label" --remove-label "old-label" [1][4]

Citations:


Fail closed and re-check labels before editing.

When gh issue view --json labels fails, HAVE becomes []. classify-issue.jq can then ignore an existing max-one label, while gh issue edit --add-label appends a conflicting label.

A concurrent run or human label change between the read and edit can cause the same result. Add issue-scoped concurrency, exit on read failure, and re-read and recompute labels immediately before editing.

GitHub CLI gh api documentation non-zero exit status HTTP error

💡 Result:

When using the GitHub CLI (gh) to make requests with the gh api command, any HTTP response with a status code of 400 or greater is treated as an error [1][2][3]. Consequently, the command will exit with a non-zero status code, typically 1 [4][5]. Key details regarding this behavior include: Exit Codes: By default, gh uses an exit code of 1 to indicate that a command has failed for any reason, including HTTP errors returned by the API [4][5][6]. Other standard exit codes include 0 for success, 2 for cancellation, and 4 for authentication requirements [4][5]. Error Handling: The gh api command processes API responses by checking the HTTP status code [1][3]. If the code is not in the success range (200-299), it invokes internal error handling routines [1][3]. This often involves attempting to parse the response body to extract specific error messages provided by the GitHub API [1][7][3]. Known Behaviors and Limitations: - Non-JSON Responses: In some cases, if the server returns an error with a non-JSON body (such as an HTML maintenance page), it can cause processing errors (e.g., "unexpected end of JSON input") if the tool expects a specific format [8][2]. Recent updates have worked to improve how gh api reports these errors, ensuring the HTTP status is correctly identified and reported to stderr [8]. - Verbose Output: To debug issues related to HTTP errors, you can use the --verbose flag with gh api to inspect the full HTTP request and response details [9]. Additionally, the --include flag can be used to include the HTTP response status line and headers in the output [9]. If you are writing scripts that rely on gh api, you should expect a non-zero exit status whenever the underlying API request fails or returns an error status code, and you should handle these non-zero exit codes accordingly [4][6].

Citations:


Stop the workflow on API read errors.

The contents request at .github/workflows/labels.yml:51 is followed by || true, so an API failure creates an empty $PAYLOAD. The workflow then reports no .github/labels.json - nothing to do and exits successfully.

The labels request at lines 58–59 has no explicit status handling, and the script enables set -uo pipefail but not set -e. A failed request can therefore leave existing empty or partial, causing incorrect create attempts for canonical labels.

Handle an expected missing-file response separately. Exit non-zero for other read failures before any label mutation.

Validate .frozen and .labels before mutating labels.

The jq commands at lines 55 and 94 run in process substitutions, so their failures are not checked. If .frozen is absent or has the wrong shape, FROZEN can be empty and a frozen label can reach gh label edit. If .labels is absent or invalid, the loop can process no rows and the script still exits successfully. Use checked jq -e validation before mutation, then materialise the label rows with a checked command.

Report any remaining mutation failure.

If one label create or edit fails after another succeeds, failed is greater than zero but created + updated is also greater than zero. The workflow then exits zero although a canonical label may remain missing or have stale metadata. .github/workflows/label-triage.yml filters suggestions against DEFINED, so a missing label is discarded until a later successful synchronisation.

Retry failed mutations, then exit non-zero if failed remains greater than zero.
