feat: support optional pull request label creation#345
Merged
Conversation
Add opt-in support for creating missing pull request labels before PR creation while leaving existing labels unchanged. Resolve label existence through the repository label list so GitHub-supported special characters such as / work correctly, deduplicate parsed CSV values, and tolerate concurrent label creation races. Also validate every boolean input consistently, document the new create_missing_labels option and permission requirements, and extend the shell test suite to cover label creation flows plus invalid boolean input values.

feat: support optional pull request label creation
Add opt-in support for creating missing pull request labels before PR
creation while leaving existing labels unchanged. Resolve label existence
through the repository label list so GitHub-supported special characters
such as / work correctly, deduplicate parsed CSV values, and tolerate
concurrent label creation races.
Also validate every boolean input consistently, document the new
create_missing_labels option and permission requirements, and extend the
shell test suite to cover label creation flows plus invalid boolean
input values.
