feat(labels): estate label tooling + auto-triage for new issues - #92
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughAdds a canonical GitHub label taxonomy, a jq issue classifier, an issue triage workflow, and a scheduled label synchronisation workflow. The automation preserves existing classifications, skips frozen labels, and applies only defined labels. ChangesLabel automation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds automatic issue labeling and canonical label synchronization, but concurrent runs may restore stale label metadata, synchronization failures may leave labels outdated while reporting success, and classification can create conflicting labels during concurrent edits; the workflows also grant broader write access than necessary. These bounded correctness and permission risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

label as separate elements in a shell array, then expand that array safely when
calling gh issue edit. Remove the unquoted command substitution while preserving
the existing filtered labels and failure handling.

or edit errors: enable errexit or explicitly check each command, remove the
unconditional `|| true`, validate the payload with a normal `jq -e` invocation
before mapfile/process substitutions, and handle a missing labels file as the
sole intentional no-op case.

GH_REPO once for the job, so both commands have repository context without

GitHub Actions concurrency default multiple workflow runs concurrently cancel-in-progress official documentation
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, the default behavior for concurrency is to allow multiple jobs and workflow runs to execute concurrently [1]. When you use the concurrency keyword to restrict this, the system manages queuing and cancellation based on the cancel-in-progress and queue configurations [2][3]. Default Behavior and Cancellation When you define a concurrency group, GitHub Actions ensures that only one job or workflow run within that group is in progress at a time [2][1]. By default, if a new run is triggered while another is in progress: - The new run enters a pending state [2][1]. - The cancel-in-progress option defaults to false [4]. - With the default configuration (cancel-in-progress: false), the existing pending run is canceled, and the newly queued run replaces it as the pending job [2][5]. The currently running job is allowed to complete [4]. Using cancel-in-progress To change this behavior so that the currently running job is also canceled when a new one is triggered, you must explicitly set cancel-in-progress: true [6][7]. Queuing Behavior As of May 2026, you can also configure concurrency groups to queue multiple runs instead of canceling them [3]. - Default (or queue: single): At most one run can be pending in the group [2][8]. - queue: max: Up to 100 jobs or workflow runs can be pending in the group [2][3]. When the queue is full, any additional runs are canceled [2]. Example Configuration For a standard setup that cancels in-progress runs (common for pull requests), you would use: concurrency: group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }} cancel-in-progress: true To enable larger queuing (e.g., for sequential deployments), you would use: concurrency: group: deploy-group queue: max cancel-in-progress: false

Serialise label synchronisation runs.
This workflow has three triggers but no concurrency group. GitHub Actions can run these triggers concurrently. Each run reads .github/labels.json at its triggering $GITHUB_SHA and updates labels individually. An older run can finish later and restore stale colour or description values. Add a repository-scoped concurrency group with cancel-in-progress: true.

Scope write permission to the synchronisation job.
Set workflow-level permissions to {} and add issues: write and contents: read under jobs.sync.permissions. This preserves the current job access and prevents future jobs from inheriting write access.

GitHub CLI gh label create edit repository selection GH_REPO --repo local git repository context documentation
💡 Result:
The GitHub CLI command gh label create is used to create a new label in a GitHub repository [1][2]. By default, if executed within a local directory that is a git repository linked to GitHub, the command will target that specific repository [3]. To target a different repository, you can use the -R or --repo flag, providing the repository in [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format [1][4]. Syntax: gh label create [flags] Common Options: -c, --color: Specify the label color as a 6-character hex value (with or without the # prefix) [1][5]. If omitted, a random color is selected [1][2]. -d, --description: Add a description for the label [1][5]. -f, --force: Update the label's color and description if the label already exists [1][5]. -R, --repo <[HOST/]OWNER/REPO>: Select a specific repository to target, overriding the default behavior of using the current directory's git repository [1][6][3]. Example: To create a label named "bug" with a specific color and description in a target repository: gh label create bug --description "Something isn't working" --color E99695 --repo OWNER/REPO [1][4]

site:docs.github.com GitHub Actions runner workspace checkout repository not checked out GITHUB_WORKSPACE
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, GITHUB_WORKSPACE is the default working directory on the runner [1][2]. If your repository is not checked out, this directory will be empty or contain only default system files, rather than your project code [3][4]. The actions/checkout action is responsible for cloning your repository and placing its contents into the GITHUB_WORKSPACE [1][2]. If you encounter a situation where your repository code is missing or GITHUB_WORKSPACE appears empty, it is almost always because the actions/checkout step was omitted, skipped, or failed to run [3][4]. To ensure your repository code is available, include the following step at the beginning of your job [4][5]: - uses: actions/checkout@v4 Key points to verify if your code is missing: 1. Ensure the actions/checkout step is present in your workflow YAML [4]. 2. If using conditional steps (e.g., if:...), confirm the checkout step condition evaluates to true [6]. 3. Check the workflow run logs to confirm the checkout step executed successfully without errors. 4. If you are using a Docker container action, ensure you are not overriding the working directory in a way that prevents access to GITHUB_WORKSPACE [7]. Note that some specific scenarios, such as referencing a local action from the same repository using the self-reference syntax (e.g., uses:./.github/actions/my-action), do not strictly require a manual checkout step because the runner environment already contains the repository code at the running commit [8][9]. However, for standard build, test, and deployment tasks, the checkout action is mandatory [3][4].

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.

Re-read labels before applying the classification.
If another actor adds enhancement after HAVE is read, the classifier can miss the existing type label and gh issue edit can add bug for a matching fix: title. This can create conflicting max-1-tier labels.
Read labels again immediately before classification, then classify against that snapshot. Document the remaining read-to-write race as best effort.

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.lockas[]. That lock is keyed by workflow path and refuses any workflow it does not list — astartup_failure, which produces no check run and is therefore silent.gh actions-lockcannot add these: it records action versions, and both workflows deliberately use none.See
