Hey @lightstrike, great work on the labels CRUD! A couple of design thoughts before we merge: 1. Remove We think 2. Labels should be referenced by name, not ID Throughout the CLI, labels should be shown and set by name, not UUID:
This keeps things consistent with how the CLI handles teams (by key), assignees (by name/me), statuses (by name), etc. — always human-readable identifiers, never raw UUIDs, unless unavoidable (e.g. parent-child relationships between labels and group labels) We'll push these changes directly to your branch. |
- Remove `labels read` command and `issueLabel` query (low value — you'd only know the UUID after listing, and listing already shows everything) - Add labels to IssueSummary, SearchSummary, and IssueDetail as name-only (no UUIDs) via nested LabelConnection - Add labels column to issue list/search table output - Update --labels doc to say "names" not "names or UUIDs" - Remove LabelDetail and LabelParentRef types (no longer needed)

When creating an issue with --team and --labels, resolve_label_ids now fetches both team-scoped and workspace-wide labels. Previously workspace labels were invisible when a team filter was active. Adds online test for labels with spaces in names.
- labels list now shows the parent label name column - labels update supports --clear-parent to remove parent relationship - labels create/update with --parent auto-promotes the parent to a group (Linear requires is_group=true before a label can have children) - Adds online test for parent set/list/clear lifecycle
- labels create: add --group flag to create a group label
- labels update: add --group/--group false to promote/demote
(demoting fails if label still has children)
- labels list: show group column ("yes" or empty)
- Remove auto-promotion of parent labels to groups
- Test covers full lifecycle: create group, add child, list,
clear parent, demote group
- Remove id column (labels are referenced by name, not UUID) - Rename group → is_label_group, parent → parent_label for clarity - Sort output: groups first with children underneath, then standalone labels
Label names aren't globally unique — two different teams can have the same label name. UUIDs are needed for --parent, update, and delete.
- SDK: add comment_update/resolve/unresolve, issue_batch_update, issue_vcs_branch_search, issue_label_create/update/delete - CLI: add labels CRUD, issues batch-update/find-branch, comments update/resolve/unresolve, estimate flags - Top-level: split Labels into its own row, update Issues and Comments rows with new subcommands
Clearer intent: --make-label-group promotes a label to a group, --clear-label-group demotes it back. No ambiguous boolean parameter.
…ear-parent-label-group All label group flags are now fully explicit and self-documenting: --parent-label-group, --clear-parent-label-group, --make-label-group, --clear-label-group

labels now serializes as ["Bug", "Feature"] instead of the
GraphQL-leaking { nodes: [{ name: "Bug" }, ...] } structure.

- Fix issue tests using --parent-label-group instead of --parent (labels flag was incorrectly applied to issue parent operations during rename) - Add exponential backoff to retry_with_backoff (0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 10s cap) - Add settle() helper for post-creation eventual consistency delays - Add run_lineark_with_retry() for transient "conflict on insert" errors - Apply settle() after create_test_team() for API propagation - Apply run_lineark_with_retry to all project creation calls - Increase retry count for search-dependent unarchive test
