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.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 22761

This PR adds automatic issue labeling and canonical label synchronization, but the current implementation can leave new issues unlabeled, apply conflicting classifications after transient or concurrent reads, and mutate labels from non-default branches or malformed configuration. The PR is not merge-ready until these bounded correctness and synchronization risks are fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

Provision the canonical security label.

security is canonical but frozen. The label synchronisation workflow skips frozen labels, so it never creates security in a repository that does not already have it. The triage workflow then filters security out because the repository does not define it.

Keep frozen labels immutable if required, but create canonical frozen labels when they are missing. Alternatively, remove security from frozen.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Exit when the existing-label read fails.

Line 83 converts an API failure into an empty label list. The classifier can then add a second label in a maximum-one tier that a human already classified. For example, a failed read on an enhancement issue titled fix: ... permits bug.

Exit successfully without editing when the read fails or does not return a JSON array.

Proposed fix
-          HAVE=$(gh issue view "$NUM" -R "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" \
-                   --json labels --jq '[.labels[].name]' 2>/dev/null) || HAVE='[]'

Pull Request Overview

This PR introduces a jq-based label management and issue triage system designed for high portability across repositories. While the architecture successfully avoids Python and external GitHub Actions dependencies, several high-risk areas remain. Notably, the .github/scripts/classify-issue.jq file is flagged as complex and currently lacks any unit tests, despite the script referencing a non-existent test-classifier-parity.py file.

There is also a discrepancy between the PR description and the provided changes; specifically, the .github/workflows/actions.lock file is missing. The logic for honoring 'do-not-automate' labels is incomplete, potentially leading to unintended bot interactions on protected issues. While Codacy grades the changes as up to standards, the complexity of the regex logic and the brittleness of fetching scripts via API without validation should be addressed before merging to ensure estate-wide stability.

About this PR

  • The PR description mentions updating the actions.lock file, but this change is missing from the diff. Please ensure all intended configuration changes are included.
  • The logic in classify-issue.jq references tests/test-classifier-parity.py for validation, but this file was not included in the PR. Given the complexity of the jq-based regex engine, providing this test suite is essential for long-term maintenance.

Test suggestions

  • Verify 'feat:' title prefix maps to 'enhancement' label
  • Verify '[p0]' bracket tag maps to 'priority:p0' label
  • Verify area keywords (e.g., 'workflow') map to 'cicd' area label
  • Verify classifier respects existing labels by not suggesting a new 'type' if one is already present
  • Verify classifier is silent when no rules fire or no mandatory 'type' is identified
  • Verify 'labels.yml' correctly creates missing labels and updates colors/descriptions for existing ones
  • Add a validation step to ensure the fetched logic files are non-empty and valid JSON/jq before processing
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify 'feat:' title prefix maps to 'enhancement' label
2. Verify '[p0]' bracket tag maps to 'priority:p0' label
3. Verify area keywords (e.g., 'workflow') map to 'cicd' area label
4. Verify classifier respects existing labels by not suggesting a new 'type' if one is already present
5. Verify classifier is silent when no rules fire or no mandatory 'type' is identified
6. Verify 'labels.yml' correctly creates missing labels and updates colors/descriptions for existing ones
7. Add a validation step to ensure the fetched logic files are non-empty and valid JSON/jq before processing

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

The kwrx function constructs sophisticated regular expressions with conditional lookbehind/lookahead and hardcoded inflection suffixes. This may produce false positives or miss matches for keywords with special characters or irregular inflections. Since this script is the core engine for estate-wide triage, it should be accompanied by a test suite. You can use an IDE agent to generate a jq-based validation script for various issue titles.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

Suggestion: The status:do-not-automate label is intended to prevent all bot interaction, but the current logic only locks the 'status' tier. The classifier will still apply 'type' or 'area' labels to an issue carrying this label if those tiers are currently empty. Add an early check to exit if this label is detected.

⚪ LOW RISK

Suggestion: The lookup for existing labels is case-sensitive, which can lead to redundant and failing gh label create calls if labels exist with different casing. It is safer to normalize the search string and the target column to lowercase within awk.

82-84: Existing-label read failure remains unresolved.

This is the same finding raised in the previous review. When gh issue view fails, HAVE becomes [], so the classifier can add a conflicting max-one-tier label that already exists on the issue.

Serialise triage runs per issue.

The job reads HAVE, classifies it, and writes later. It has no per-issue concurrency group. Overlapping event and manual runs can use a stale snapshot and add a conflicting max-one-tier label after a human classification.

Add per-issue concurrency with cancel-in-progress: false. Re-check labels immediately before the edit.

Do not print uncertain classifications.

The workflow always prints the issue title, existing labels, and no confident classification, including when no rule fires. This contradicts the documented silent-when-uncertain contract and the PR objective.

Emit diagnostics only after a confident classification, or remove these unconditional messages.

Run label synchronisation before triage

When canonical labels are absent, this branch discards all classifier output and exits successfully. .github/workflows/labels.yml does not retry or dispatch .github/workflows/label-triage.yml after creating labels. An issue opened before synchronisation can therefore remain unlabelled. Make synchronisation a prerequisite, or retry triage after label creation.

Serialise synchronisation runs.

Each run fetches the payload at its triggering $GITHUB_SHA. Without workflow concurrency, an older run can finish after a newer run and restore stale label colours or descriptions. The drift can remain until the next monthly schedule.

Add repository-scoped concurrency and keep the newest queued run.

Proposed fix

   workflow_dispatch:
   push:
     paths:
       - '.github/labels.json'

Run label synchronisation only from the default branch.

This trigger accepts pushes from every branch. The job then fetches that branch’s .github/labels.json and mutates repository labels with issues: write.

A discarded branch can therefore create persistent non-canonical labels, because this workflow does not delete labels. Gate the sync job to the default branch, including manual dispatches, or always fetch the configuration from the default branch.

Reject an invalid canonical-label payload before synchronisation.

A non-empty malformed payload passes Line 53. Both jq process substitutions can then fail without terminating this script, so the loop performs no mutations and the workflow exits successfully with created=0 updated=0.

Validate the JSON structure before reading .frozen or .labels, and fail the job when the payload is invalid.

Proposed fix
