Issue Labels and Triage Workflow
This document describes the labels used across issue templates and how issues are triaged in the Lily Frontend repository.
Label
Description
When to Apply
bug
Something isn't working
Reproducible defects, regressions, or broken behavior
enhancement
New feature or request
New functionality, improvements, or capability additions
documentation
Improvements or additions to documentation
Docs-only changes, missing guides, or clarification needs
accessibility
Barrier affecting people with disabilities
WCAG violations, screen reader issues, keyboard navigation gaps
good first issue
Good for newcomers
Well-scoped tasks with clear acceptance criteria and minimal context needed
help wanted
Extra attention is needed
Stalled issues, complex problems needing fresh perspectives
dependencies
Pull requests that update a dependency file
Automated or manual dep updates (Dependabot, npm audit)
javascript
Pull requests that update javascript code
Auto-applied by labeler for JS/TS file changes
duplicate
This issue or pull request already exists
Exact duplicate of an existing open or closed issue
invalid
This doesn't seem right
Spam, off-topic, or fundamentally unactionable reports
question
Further information is requested
Needs clarification from the author before triage can proceed
wontfix
This will not be worked on
Out of scope, deprecated surface, or intentionally unsupported
New issues should receive at least one category label (bug, enhancement, documentation) within 48 hours.
Bounty issues are tagged via the title pattern [Bounty: $XX] and do not require a separate bounty label.
Good first issues must have complete acceptance criteria and linked reference files before the label is applied.
Assignment is self-service: comment /claim #NNN on the issue and open a draft PR within 7 days to retain the claim.
Stale claims are released if no PR activity occurs within 14 days of the claim comment.
Priority is signaled by bounty amount when applicable; non-bounty issues are prioritized by maintainer discretion and help wanted status.
