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 automated issue labelling based on titles, tags and keywords.
  • Added workflows to apply labels to newly opened, reopened or manually selected issues.
  • Added automatic synchronisation of repository labels with the canonical label set.
  • Added safeguards to preserve protected labels and avoid duplicate or conflicting labels.
  • Added support for consistent label categories, priorities, statuses and scopes.

Walkthrough

Adds a canonical GitHub label taxonomy, a jq issue classifier, and two GitHub Actions workflows. The workflows classify issue labels and synchronise repository labels without checkout actions.

Changes

Issue labelling automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Label taxonomy and classifier rules
.github/labels.json, .github/label-classifier.json
Defines 38 labels across six tiers, frozen labels, matching rules, tier limits, allowed types, and precedence values.
Issue classifier
.github/scripts/classify-issue.jq
Normalises titles, matches bracket tags, prefixes, and keywords, preserves existing labels, enforces tier limits, and emits classified labels.
Issue triage workflow
.github/workflows/label-triage.yml
Classifies newly opened, reopened, or manually selected issues and applies valid labels through the GitHub API.
Label synchronisation workflow
.github/workflows/labels.yml
Creates missing canonical labels, updates non-frozen label metadata, skips existing frozen labels, and reports operation counts.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9437f

The new automation can apply conflicting labels when reads fail or race with human edits, apply taxonomy changes from unmerged branches, and report synchronization success while labels remain incomplete. These bounded correctness and operational risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Pull Request Overview

While the PR is technically 'up to standards' according to Codacy, it introduces high-risk logic in a JQ-based classifier without the accompanying test suite or generation scripts mentioned in the PR description and file headers. A functional bug was identified in the bracket logic that prevents correct triage when multiple tags are present in an issue title. The absence of the promised tests/test-classifier-parity.py and scripts/gen-classifier-json.py is a significant oversight that prevents verification of the complex regex logic. It is recommended to include these missing files and address the parsing bug before merging.

About this PR

  • The PR references tests/test-classifier-parity.py and scripts/gen-classifier-json.py as essential tools for verification and taxonomy generation, but these files are not present in the current diff. Without these, maintaining the complex label-classifier.json and verifying JQ logic is unsustainable.

Test suggestions

  • Classification of issues via conventional commit prefixes (e.g., 'feat:', 'fix:')
  • Classification of issues via bracketed tags (e.g., '[p0]', '[estate]')
  • Area detection via keyword matching (e.g., 'workflow' mapping to 'cicd')
  • Tier enforcement: ensures only one 'type' or 'priority' label is suggested if the issue already has one
  • Silent failure mode: classifier returns empty set when no mandatory 'type' is identified
  • Label sync: creation of missing labels with correct colors and descriptions
  • Label sync: skipping update or deletion of labels marked as 'frozen'
  • Automated logic verification for .github/scripts/classify-issue.jq
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Classification of issues via conventional commit prefixes (e.g., 'feat:', 'fix:')
2. Classification of issues via bracketed tags (e.g., '[p0]', '[estate]')
3. Area detection via keyword matching (e.g., 'workflow' mapping to 'cicd')
4. Tier enforcement: ensures only one 'type' or 'priority' label is suggested if the issue already has one
5. Silent failure mode: classifier returns empty set when no mandatory 'type' is identified
6. Label sync: creation of missing labels with correct colors and descriptions
7. Label sync: skipping update or deletion of labels marked as 'frozen'
8. Automated logic verification for .github/scripts/classify-issue.jq

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

The bracket function strips only the first leading tag. In titles with multiple tags like [estate] [fix]: ..., the second tag remains in the string and prevents prefixrule from matching. Consider updating bracket to recursively strip all leading tags or adjusting the prefixrule regex to allow preceding bracketed content.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

Suggestion: This JQ script implements complex classification logic including asymmetric boundary checks and tier enforcement. Given the dense nature of the logic and the missing Python test suite, consider adding a local test runner to verify behavior against known issue titles. You can use jq in a bash script to test .github/scripts/classify-issue.jq against various title inputs.

GitHub Actions concurrency default multiple workflow runs concurrency group cancel-in-progress documentation

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, the concurrency keyword is used to ensure that only a specific number of workflow runs or jobs run concurrently within a defined concurrency group [1][2]. When you configure a concurrency group, the default behavior for handling pending runs and cancellation is as follows: Default Pending Behavior: By default, a concurrency group allows only one running job or workflow and at most one pending job or workflow [3][4]. If a new run is triggered while another is already running, the new run enters a pending state [1][5]. If a run is already in the pending state, that existing pending run is canceled and replaced by the newest run [1][3][4]. Cancel-in-progress Behavior: - cancel-in-progress: false (Default): Only pending runs are subject to replacement (as described above). Currently running jobs or workflows are not canceled [1][6]. - cancel-in-progress: true: Any currently running job or workflow in the same concurrency group will be canceled when a new run is triggered, in addition to any existing pending runs being replaced [1][5]. Recent Updates to Queuing: As of May 2026, you can now enable larger queues for concurrency groups by setting queue: max [4]. When queue: max is used, the system allows up to 100 jobs or workflow runs to wait in the concurrency group instead of the default behavior of limiting to a single pending run [1][4]. Once the queue is full, any additional runs are canceled [1][5][2]. Note that queue: max cannot be used in combination with cancel-in-progress: true, as these settings represent conflicting strategies for handling concurrent runs [1][5]. To implement these settings in your workflow YAML, use the following structure: concurrency: group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }} cancel-in-progress: true Always ensure that your concurrency group names are unique if you wish to prevent accidental cancellation of runs across different workflows within the same repository [1][6].

Citations:


Serialise label synchronisation runs.

Without concurrency, overlapping runs can read existing once and apply definitions from different $GITHUB_SHA values. An older run can finish last and restore stale label colours or descriptions. Add a workflow-level concurrency group for label synchronisation, with queued or cancelled older runs.

Restrict automatic synchronisation to the default branch.

push has no branch filter, so a push to any branch that changes .github/labels.json can run sync. The job reads that branch's file at $GITHUB_SHA and mutates repository-wide labels. This can apply an unmerged feature-branch taxonomy to labels used by .github/workflows/label-triage.yml. Restrict push to main, or guard jobs.sync for main. Keep workflow_dispatch for deliberate repair runs.

Fail the workflow when label synchronisation fails.

set -uo pipefail does not enable fail-fast handling. The fetch errors are suppressed, and an empty or malformed payload can be treated as a missing file. The create and edit commands also continue after failure, so the workflow can finish successfully with missing or stale labels. label-triage.yml then skips classified labels that the repository does not define. Distinguish missing files from fetch, decode, parse, and API errors, validate the payload, and exit non-zero when synchronisation fails.

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.

Do not treat a failed label read as an empty label set.

When gh issue view --json labels fails, HAVE='[]' disables the classifier's max-one tier protection. A matching title can then add a conflicting label beside an existing human label. Exit successfully when the label read fails. Set HAVE='[]' only after a successful empty response.

In @.github/workflows/label-triage.yml around lines 82 - 84, Update the
label-read logic around HAVE and gh issue view so a failed label query exits
successfully rather than treating the issue as having no labels. Assign
HAVE='[]' only when the command succeeds with an empty response, preserving
existing labels and max-one tier protection on read failure.

Re-check max-1 labels before applying classification.

If a human adds a max-1 label after HAVE is read, the classifier can add a second label in that tier. Serialise triage runs per issue and validate the tiers immediately before gh issue edit. Use a conditional write where the GitHub API supports one.

update; preserve the existing label filtering and argument-array handling.
