feat(labels): estate label tooling + auto-triage for new issues - #64
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughAdds a generated label taxonomy, a jq issue classifier, an issue triage workflow, and a label synchronisation workflow. The automation preserves existing classifications, respects frozen labels, enforces tier limits, and applies only repository-defined labels. ChangesIssue label automation
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~30 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new automation can apply conflicting labels during concurrent updates, label protected issues despite their opt-out status, and report successful synchronization when required data or API reads fail. These bounded correctness and operational risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Honour status:do-not-automate as a complete classifier opt-out.
An issue with status:do-not-automate and a title such as fix: ... still emits bug. The triage workflow then applies that label. The canonical label definition states that bots and sweeps must not touch this issue.

Fail the job when synchronisation inputs cannot be read.
The gh api/base64 -d pipeline can fail, but || true suppresses the failure and permits an empty-payload exit. The existing=$(gh api ...) assignment can also fail without stopping the script because errexit is disabled and its status is unchecked. The job can therefore succeed without reading its inputs and leave label drift undetected.

The workflow can therefore report success without synchronising labels. Treat only a confirmed missing file as a no-op; fail on read, decode, or existing-label API errors.

Scope token permissions to the triage job.
issues: write is required for gh issue edit, and contents: read is required for the classifier fetches. Define these permissions under jobs.triage and document their purpose. Workflow-level permissions also apply to any future job added to this workflow.

Protect the label read/write window.
The workflow reads HAVE once, but it has no per-issue concurrency control. If a human or another run adds a max-1 label before Line [114], this run still uses the stale snapshot and can add a second label in that tier. Serialise runs per repository and issue, then re-read the labels immediately before editing. Skip the edit if the label set changed or a conflicting tier is now occupied.

The || HAVE='[]' fallback treats an API error as “the issue has no labels”. If the issue already has a canonical max-1 label, the classifier can return a conflicting label and Line [114] can apply it. Keep the workflow green, but skip classification when existing labels cannot be read.

GitHub CLI gh label create existing label duplicate error behaviour documentation source
💡 Result:
When using the GitHub CLI command gh label create to create a label that already exists in the repository, the command will fail and return an HTTP 422 error ("Validation Failed: Label.name already exists") by default [1][2][3]. To avoid this error and make the command idempotent (e.g., for use in CI/CD scripts), you can use the --force flag [4][3]. When --force is provided, the command will update the existing label's color and description instead of failing [4][5][6]. Summary of behavior: - Default: The command exits with an error if the label name is already in use [1][3]. - With --force: The command updates the existing label, allowing the process to continue successfully [3][6].

Serialise overlapping synchronisation runs.
gh label create fails with HTTP 422 when another run has already created the label. Because existing is read only once, the losing run can reach Lines 101–103 with no successful mutation and exit with failure. Add a workflow-level concurrency group with cancel-in-progress: false.
