Overview

This is Phase 1 of the label-prefix-enforcement-2026-08-05 project. This phase MUST be completed TODAY to prevent new label violations.

Status: 🔴 CRITICAL — Blocks Phase 2–5
Priority: Highest
Duration: 2–3 hours
Related Project: label-prefix-enforcement-2026-08-05

What This Phase Does

Stops new label prefix violations by:

  1. Delete defective code in scripts/agents/includes/labeling-agent.js
  2. Update governance documents to reflect fix
  3. Verify that no further bare labels can be created

Root Cause

The labeling agent script applies bare labels (e.g., bug, feature) without required family prefixes (e.g., type:bug, type:feature). This must be removed immediately.

File: scripts/agents/includes/labeling-agent.js

Deliverables

  • Delete defective labeling code from scripts/agents/includes/labeling-agent.js
  • Update .github/labels.yml governance document with fix notes
  • Update CLAUDE.md label creation rules section
  • Test: Verify labeling agent now enforces prefixes only
  • Create PR for Phase 1 completion
  • Merge PR and verify CI green

Timeline

  • Start: 2026-08-21 (after approval)
  • Target Completion: 2026-08-21 (same day, 2–3 hours)
  • Next Phase Unblocks: Phase 2 (fix existing ~100 issues)

Acceptance Criteria

✅ Defective code removed from labeling agent
✅ No bare labels can be created by any script
✅ Governance documents updated
✅ PR created and merged
✅ CI green on main branch

Related Issues

  • Phase 2: #1604 — Fix Existing Label Prefix Violations (24-48 hrs)
  • Phase 3: #1605 — Enforce Label Validation (3-5 days)
  • Audit Report: #1592 — Label Prefix Governance Enforcement

Notes

This is the blocking first step. Do not proceed to Phase 2 until this issue is closed.
