"Generate release notes" put every PR in one list, Dependabot bumps
included, because no PR had a label. A new workflow labels each PR from
its title prefix (feat, fix, perf, docs, chore and so on), and
release.yml groups the notes by those labels and leaves out Dependabot.

Like pr-rules.yml, the workflow only reads the title through the API and
never checks out the pull request's code.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Release notes are grouped by enhancement, bug, performance, accessibility, security, documentation, and infrastructure labels. Unmatched changes appear under “Other changes,” while dependency-related and bot-authored changes are excluded.
    • Pull requests are labeled based on recognized title prefixes when opened, edited, or reopened. If a title change maps to a different label, the previous mapped label is removed; unrecognized prefixes do not add a label.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

A new workflow applies labels based on pull request title prefixes. GitHub release-note configuration excludes specified changes and groups the remaining pull requests into categories by label.

Changes

Pull Request Labels and Release Notes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Title-prefix label automation
.github/workflows/label-pr.yml
The workflow runs when a pull request is opened, edited, or reopened. It skips bot-authored pull requests and adds a mapped label from the title prefix if that label is not already present.
Release-note categories
.github/release.yml
The configuration excludes dependency-labeled changes and Dependabot-authored pull requests. It groups labeled pull requests into named categories and places unmatched labels under “Other changes.”

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a83e8

Title edits can leave conflicting release-note labels, and perf pull requests cannot receive their intended category. Resolve those labeling issues before merging unless the release-note impact is explicitly accepted.

Architecture Summary

Architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to a83e8

The changed surface does not map to a changed system, dependency edge, entrypoint, or external dependency.

Changed systems: None identified.

Architecture concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Review details

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in .github/release.yml: Adds comments documenting that GitHub-generated release notes use PR title prefixes for labels.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .github/release.yml: Adds release-note rules that exclude the dependencies label and Dependabot authors, map specified labels to named categories, and assign remaining labels to “Other changes.”
  • observed — Modified behavior in .github/workflows/label-pr.yml: Adds the workflow name, pull_request_target triggers for opened, edited, and reopened PRs, and write permission for pull requests. The comments state that the workflow reads only the title and must not check out or run PR code.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .github/workflows/label-pr.yml: Adds a job that skips bot-authored PRs and runs a pinned actions/github-script action. It maps feat, fix, and perf to enhancement, bug, and performance; maps docs to documentation; and maps test, chore, ci, build, and refactor to infrastructure. It extracts a case-insensitive prefix matching \w+, optionally followed by a parenthesized scope and !, before a colon. When that prefix maps to a label not already on the PR, it adds the label; otherwise it returns without adding one.

14-14: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial

Allow pull_request_target before GitHub enforcement.

paro-studio/web is public, and this workflow depends on pull_request_target to label fork pull requests. If no applicable Actions event policy allows this event, GitHub can block these runs when enforcement begins on November 2, 2026. Configure an applicable policy before that date. The default policy is currently in evaluate mode. (docs.github.com)

site:docs.github.com "add labels to an issue" "does not exist" label create

💡 Result:

GitHub’s docs say the label **must already exist** in the repository to add it to an issue. If it doesn’t, create it first; the REST API provides a separate **Create a label** endpoint. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/tutorials/manage-your-work/add-labels-to-issues?utm_source=openai))

Create the missing performance label.

The workflow maps the perf: title prefix to performance. GitHub requires the label to exist before issues.addLabels can apply it. Until the label exists, matching pull requests will not receive the intended release-note category.

Renaming a PR from feat: to fix: kept enhancement and added bug, so it
could show under New in the release notes. When the title changes, the
label the old title gave it is removed first. Labels added by hand are
left alone.
