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.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added automatic labelling for newly opened and reopened issues, with support for manual triage.
    • Added rule-based classification using issue titles, tags, keywords, status and scope.
    • Added label synchronisation to create missing labels and update changed descriptions or colours.
    • Added scheduled and on-demand label maintenance.
  • Chores

    • Added a canonical label registry and classification rules.
    • Existing labels are preserved, frozen labels are protected, and labels are never removed automatically.

Walkthrough

The change adds a canonical label registry, jq-based issue classification, automatic issue labelling, and scheduled label synchronisation. The workflows preserve existing and frozen labels.

Changes

Label automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Label taxonomy and registry
.github/label-classifier.json, .github/labels.json
Adds generated label rules, canonical label metadata, tier limits, precedence, allowed types, and frozen labels.
Issue title classification
.github/scripts/classify-issue.jq
Matches brackets, prefixes, keywords, and signals. It enforces tier limits and excludes existing labels.
Issue triage workflow
.github/workflows/label-triage.yml
Classifies opened, reopened, or manually selected issues. It adds only labels defined in the repository.
Label registry synchronisation
.github/workflows/labels.yml
Creates missing labels and updates non-frozen colour and description values on push, schedule, or manual dispatch.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b59c3

The new label-management workflows can silently fail to create or update canonical labels, and concurrent runs may apply stale label metadata. The PR should not merge until these bounded workflow reliability risks are fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

Pull Request Overview

This PR introduces a canonical label taxonomy and an automated triage system. While Codacy results indicate the code is up to standards, several critical implementation flaws in the workflow files will cause the automation to fail or behave incorrectly.

The most significant issue is the reliance on gh api --jq for string extraction; this wraps bash variables in JSON quotes, which will break base64 decoding, regex matching on titles, and label name comparisons. Additionally, there are concerns regarding the use of $GITHUB_SHA in the triage workflow, which may cause it to fetch rules from the default branch rather than the PR's head commit. Finally, the PR description references updates to actions.lock and a parity test script that are not included in the current change set.

About this PR

  • The classification logic is regex-heavy and implemented in jq, but no test files are included. The mentioned test-classifier-parity.py script is missing from the PR. Consider including it to ensure the classification logic remains robust.
  • The PR description states that new workflows were added to .github/workflows/actions.lock, but this file is missing from the PR. Please ensure the lockfile is updated to prevent potential 'startup_failure' errors during execution.

Test suggestions

  • Classification based on title prefix (e.g., 'feat: description' -> enhancement)
  • Classification based on bracket tag (e.g., '[p0]' -> priority:p0)
  • Keyword-based area matching (e.g., 'Agda' in title -> proofs)
  • Ensure no new type label is added if the issue already has one
  • Label sync creates a missing label even if marked as 'frozen'
  • Label sync skips updating existing 'frozen' labels even if color/description differs
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Classification based on title prefix (e.g., 'feat: description' -> enhancement)
2. Classification based on bracket tag (e.g., '[p0]' -> priority:p0)
3. Keyword-based area matching (e.g., 'Agda' in title -> proofs)
4. Ensure no new type label is added if the issue already has one
5. Label sync creates a missing label even if marked as 'frozen'
6. Label sync skips updating existing 'frozen' labels even if color/description differs
Low confidence findings
  • The triage logic fetches rules using $GITHUB_SHA. In the context of an opened or reopened issue event, this might fetch from the default branch rather than the current commit, potentially causing it to run outdated classification rules.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

TSV generation via gh api --jq is unreliable for labels because it includes JSON quotes and doesn't handle newlines in descriptions safely. Use a raw jq -r pipe and consider scrubbing newlines from descriptions.

frozen=0
for f in "${FROZEN[@]}"; do [ "$f" = "$name" ] && frozen=1 && break; done

⚪ LOW RISK

Suggestion: The synchronization loop can be optimized by storing existing labels in a Bash associative array or by using a single jq join operation. This would reduce the complexity from O(N²) to O(N).

Try running the following prompt in your IDE agent:

In .github/workflows/labels.yml, optimize the sync loop. Instead of calling awk inside the loop to scan the $existing string for each label, parse the existing labels into a Bash associative array at the start of the script to allow O(1) lookups.

105-108: 🎯 Functional Correctness

Do not change the argument expansion.

classify-issue.jq restricts output to keys from tier_of. The 39 canonical labels contain no whitespace or glob characters. The unsafe frozen label good first issue cannot reach apply.

96-105: 🎯 Functional Correctness

No change required for these any expressions.

any(condition) evaluates condition for each array member. Therefore . as $k and . bind individual keywords or labels, not the complete array. $R.tier_of[.] receives a scalar label and does not raise the claimed error.

Serialise label-registry updates.

If pushes overlap, an older run can apply label metadata from its GITHUB_SHA after a newer run. Add a workflow-level concurrency group to queue runs or cancel stale runs.

Propagate label synchronisation failures.

set -uo pipefail does not enable set -e. The fetch pipeline explicitly ignores failures, and failed gh label create or gh label edit commands only leave their counters unchanged. The workflow can therefore exit successfully while labels remain missing or stale. Handle only an explicit missing-file response as a no-op, and fail the job for other fetch or mutation errors.

GitHub CLI gh label create repository selection GH_REPO GITHUB_REPOSITORY no git repository

💡 Result:

When running the GitHub CLI (gh) command 'gh label create' outside of a git repository, the tool requires an explicit way to identify the target repository, as it cannot automatically infer it from the local environment [1][2]. To specify the repository, you can use one of the following methods: 1. Use the --repo flag: Pass the repository in [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format directly to the command [1][3]. gh label create "my-label" --repo "owner/repo" --color "FF0000" [4] 2. Use the GH_REPO environment variable: Set this variable in your environment before running the command. The gh CLI will use this value if the --repo flag is not provided and no local git repository is detected [5][2]. export GH_REPO="owner/repo" gh label create "my-label" --color "FF0000" Note on GITHUB_REPOSITORY: While GitHub Actions automatically sets the GITHUB_REPOSITORY environment variable, the gh CLI does not automatically read it as a fallback for repository selection [5]. If you are in a CI/CD environment and want to use this variable, you must explicitly pass it to the command (e.g., --repo "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY") or export it as GH_REPO [5][6][7]. Precedence order for repository selection in gh: 1. --repo flag [5] 2. GH_REPO environment variable [5] 3. Local git repository [5] If none of these are present or valid, the command will fail because it cannot determine which repository to target [2].

Citations:


Provide the target repository to gh label commands.

This workflow does not check out a repository or set GH_REPO. Both gh label create and gh label edit omit --repo, so they cannot resolve $GITHUB_REPOSITORY from the preceding gh api commands. Add --repo "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" to both commands. Suppressed errors can otherwise leave synchronisation incomplete while the job succeeds.

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.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Abort when the repository-label list request fails.

Line 58 continues after a failed or partial gh api request because the script does not enable set -e or check the assignment status. existing can then be empty. If one canonical label is absent, its create succeeds while creates for existing labels fail. Lines 101-104 then exit successfully, and the workflow does not repair metadata drift for existing labels.

Proposed fix
-          existing=$(gh api "repos/$GITHUB_REPOSITORY/labels" --paginate \
-                       --jq '.[] | [.name, .color, (.description // "")] | `@tsv`')
+          if ! existing=$(gh api "repos/$GITHUB_REPOSITORY/labels" --paginate \
+                              --jq '.[] | [.name, .color, (.description // "")] | `@tsv`'); then
+            echo "failed to list repository labels"
+            exit 1
+          fi
