Audit Pull Request

This repository enforces changelog, release, and label automation for all PRs and issues.
See the organisation-wide Automation Governance & Release Strategy for contributor rules.

Linked issues

Closes #3530 (constitution v1.3.0–v1.3.1 sign-off review, approved 2026-09-24; the amendments ship in this PR)

Scope of Audit

GitHub label governance for the lightspeedwp organisation, audited against the canonical .github/labels.yml (169 labels, 15 families, snapshot of 2026-09-14):

  • .github/issue-types.yml (25 issue-type mappings) and the 26 type:* labels at audit time
  • .github/label-governance-policy.yml never-delete list (57 labels at audit time)
  • Label documentation (18 files), plus CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md for the gap scan
  • The 11 archived labelling workflows, compared with labeling-unified.yml and scripts/agents/labeling.agent.js
  • Every reference to a label being renamed, merged or retired (T044: 458 references with file and line)
  • Live GitHub label inventory: not yet obtained (FR-006 and SC-001 stay open; task T041)

The branch also carries the specification, plan and tasks for the consolidation phase (User Story 4) and the constitution amendments v1.3.0–v1.3.1.

Label names (FR-011): on this branch the spec, reports and label docs use aiops:* (was ai-ops:*) and spec:* (was openspec:*). The 2026-09-14 snapshot files keep the names they recorded and add a target_name for each label. labels.yml, pr_aiops.md and the automation keep the old names until the Stage 2 configuration PR, which merges only after #3564.

Findings Summary

Two findings; no critical findings.

Detailed Findings

All under .github/reports/audits/2026-09-14-label-audit/:

  • SUMMARY.md: one-page brief with the top five actions
  • 007-audit-report.md: both findings with evidence and recommendations; type:decision line reference (173 in the snapshot); documentation coverage (142 of 169); the FR-011 rename impact (16 renames, 345 old-prefix references by location, and the automation that must change with the rename). Sign-off: incomplete until T041
  • duplicates-analysis.md (T021–T025): 23 candidate pairs. 5 merges approved (including area:agents, area:instructions and area:prompts into aiops:*), 5 proposals need a decision, the rest kept on purpose. 36 labelling gaps. Usage counts wait for T041 and T042
  • workflow-analysis.md (T026–T030): 11 workflows (2 restore, 5 rebuild, 4 retire), 14 automation gaps, a prioritised roadmap and an assessment of the unified agent
  • validation-results.md (T034–T035): quickstart Tests 1–8. Test 1 is partial until T041; Test 5 fails on out-of-date counts in docs/LABEL_INVENTORY.md
  • METHODOLOGY.md, audit-metadata.json, evidence/README.md (index of all 33 evidence files, with the target_name note)
  • Specification (spec.md): FR-001–FR-023 and SC-001–SC-012.
    • 2026-09-24: chore: labels - Add conflict-resolution labels to canonical taxonomy [LABEL-UPDATE-REQUEST] #3554 added (FR-012 imports and colour rule; FR-021 and SC-010 for meta:needs-approval); area:observability stays its own label; the FR-009 gate exempts Stage 0a and the never-delete clean-up; open type:question issues convert to Discussions before the label is deleted (FR-014); FR-022 limits the labelling agent until Stage 3; AI assets live in aiops:* with area:ai as the umbrella.
    • 2026-09-25, rename: label names on this branch switch now; the configuration rename follows after fix: labeling-agent - Keep unmapped labels and honour DRY_RUN #3564; non-canonical openspec: names become gaps for the T043 mapping; spec-number labels move to spec-id:NNN (FR-011).
    • 2026-09-25, deletion review (checklists/destructive-changes.md, 38 of 38 reviewed): deletion scope, closed items, Discussions, snapshots and rollback, approval wording and approved-set commit (FR-016); the full stage order (FR-009); early restriction of Linear's label sync (FR-017); the deletion-run token (FR-018); new FR-023 (resume, repeat, re-read before delete, Linear write log, rate limits, audit log); SC-009 timing; new SC-011 and SC-012.
  • Plan and design (plan.md, research.md, data-model.md, quickstart.md, contracts/): Stages 0b and 0c; research R14–R20; the label mapping gains color, description, change_request and gap; Approval Gate Label and Snapshot Target Name entities; the dry run gains approved_set_commit and executed_at; quickstart Tests 15–17
  • Tasks (tasks.md): 47 of 98 done, including Stage 0c (T040h–T040m). T040b and T054 wait for chore: label-consolidation - Align Decision taxonomy and templates #3534; T040d–T040g wait for fix: labeling-agent - Keep unmapped labels and honour DRY_RUN #3564
  • Docs: docs/LABELING_FAQ.md, docs/LABEL_INVENTORY.md (Decision type; AI table uses aiops:*), docs/ISSUE_TRIAGE_AUTOMATION.md, docs/CODERABBIT_LABELS_ALIGNMENT.md
  • Constitution (.specify/memory/constitution.md): v1.3.1

Changelog

Changed

Test plan

  • Audit criteria documented (spec 008 FR-001–FR-010)
  • Findings validated against source files, with file and line evidence
  • Recommendations provided (audit report, duplicates and workflow reports, summary)
  • No changes needed (audit-only): not applicable. The branch also changes the never-delete list (T055), four label docs and the constitution
  • Live GitHub label inventory (T041) still to run; orphan-label findings pending (needs an organisation-read token)
  • scripts/validation/__tests__/label-audit-evidence.test.js: 10 of 10 pass (frozen snapshot, the 16 FR-011 target names, and the live never-delete list)
  • Quickstart Tests 1–8 recorded in validation-results.md; Test 17 (label names on this branch) passes
  • node scripts/validation/validate-labeling-configs.cjs OK; CI green on the latest commit
  • Up to date with develop (2026-09-25)
  • Review feedback: all CodeRabbit findings fixed (inline threads resolved; the outside-diff FR-011 finding fixed in 73865b84); re-review requested

Checklist

  • Audit scope clearly defined
  • All findings documented with evidence
  • Recommendations are actionable
  • No sensitive data exposed in findings
  • Related issues linked above
  • Changelog entry added (if changes made)

Heads-up: this PR body does not include the sections from its routed template (audit/ → pr_feature.md). Missing: ## Linked issues, ## Changelog. Please copy those sections into the body with real content. The template-routing check now fails on the next push when required sections are missing or left as template boilerplate.

In @.github/reports/audits/2026-09-14-label-audit/007-audit-report.md:
- Around line 84-88: Update the family-count table rows to status: 21, priority:
6, area: 42, meta: 6, and Other families (10): 68; retain the existing type
count and ensure the corrected rows total 169.
- Line 178: Update the audit sign-off bullet to state that only local data
sources were successfully audited and that live GitHub API validation was
unavailable.

In @.github/reports/audits/2026-09-14-label-audit/evidence/all-findings.json:
- Line 73: Update all_findings to include the type:decision finding, either by
adding its finding object or generating the array as the union of every finding
category, so consumers receive the complete audit feed including this HIGH
finding.

In @.github/specs/008-label-audit-consolidation/spec.md:
- Line 161: Update FR-006 and SC-001 to remain incomplete because
github-api-labels.json contains no verified GitHub label inventory; qualify the
“MVP Complete” and “complete visibility” claims accordingly, and do not report
the orphan-label audit as complete until the full repository label set is
obtained.
- Line 163: Update the specification’s normative requirements, including FR-008,
Key Entities, and the Assumptions section, to explicitly classify type:decision
as an immutable canonical label excluded from the 25-label issue-types.yml
mapping set; ensure SC-003 uses the same terminology and prohibits changing it.

Addresses CodeRabbit's outside-diff finding on #3362: the report now
lists the 16 ai-ops/openspec renames, summarises the 345 old-prefix
references from renamed-label-references.json, names the automation
that changes with the rename, and keeps the audit marked incomplete
until the live inventory (T041) exists.

@coderabbitai review

All findings from your three "changes requested" reviews are fixed:

  • Review 1 (5 inline findings) and review 2 (1 inline finding): fixed in a931a22 and 0e1a854d; all threads resolved.

  • Review 3 inline (FR-011 current vs target prefixes): fixed in e30c37b2; thread resolved.

  • Review 3 outside-diff (🟠 Major, FR-011 rename-impact evidence in 007-audit-report.md): fixed in 73865b84. The report has a new "FR-011 Rename Impact" section with:

    • the 16 renames (7 ai-ops:* → aiops:*, 9 openspec:* → spec:*);
    • a summary of the 345 old-prefix references, with file and line for each in evidence/renamed-label-references.json (T044);
    • the automation that must change with the rename.

    The sign-off now reads "Incomplete" until the live label inventory (T041) exists.
