Full details: Linked Issues checkExplanation The PR namespaces both backport labels, adds legacy aliases, updates workflow handling for both label spellings, preserves label history, and documents the decision to leave the top-level release label unchanged. The transitional legacy-label support is consistent with the PR objective and does not prevent compliance with issue Full details: Out of Scope Changes checkExplanation The additional template, stale-workflow, documentation, contributing-guide, and contract-test changes all support the backport-label migration and workflow transition.

In @.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md:
- Line 11: Update the backport guidance in the pull request template to
distinguish the labels: use kind/backport for fixes targeting the newest
previous release branch, and kind/backport-previous for fixes targeting the
second-newest release-X.Y branch.
In @.github/workflows/backport.yaml:
- Line 57: Update the concurrency contract test in release-freeze-contract.bats
to recognize all four excluded label names in the backport group expression,
adding assertions for kind/backport and kind/backport-previous while preserving
coverage of the two legacy labels.
In @.github/workflows/stale.yaml:
- Around line 41-43: Add the legacy backport and backport-previous labels to the
exempt-pr-labels configuration in the stale workflow, preserving the existing
exemptions and formatting.
In `@docs/release.md`:
- Line 374: Update the gh pr list search query in the backport troubleshooting
command to use OR semantics via label:"kind/backport","kind/backport-previous",

GitHub issue search syntax multiple label qualifiers space OR label official documentation
💡 Result:
When searching for GitHub issues using labels, the syntax for multiple labels depends on whether you intend to use a logical AND or a logical OR operation [1][2]. Logical AND To find issues that have both labels (e.g., an issue that is marked as both "bug" and "priority"), use separate label qualifiers separated by spaces [3][1]. Example: label:"bug" label:"priority" [3] Logical OR To find issues that have at least one of the specified labels (e.g., an issue marked as either "bug" or "wip"), use a comma-separated list of values within a single label qualifier [1][2]. Example: label:"bug","wip" [1] These syntax rules apply to the GitHub search bar and when using the GitHub CLI with the --search argument [1][2]. Top Results: [3][1][4][2]

Use OR semantics in the troubleshooting query.
The current query selects only pull requests with both labels. Use label:"kind/backport","kind/backport-previous" to select pull requests with either label.

The labels.yml header declares that names follow the Kubernetes scheme, but backport and backport-previous were top-level, violating it. Rename them to kind/backport and kind/backport-previous, grouped under the kind/ section, and carry the old names as aliases so EndBug/label-sync renames in place without dropping history on already-tagged issues and PRs. Update the label literals in backport.yaml in lockstep (the if filter and the label-detection script). pr-labeler.yaml's 'backport' entry is a Conventional-Commit scope-to-area mapping, not a label reference, so it is left unchanged. The top-level release label is a functional trigger keyed by name in several workflows; renaming it is a wider cross-workflow change out of scope here, so it is left as-is intentionally.

The initial rename missed several literal consumers of the old label names beyond labels.yml and backport.yaml: - stale.yaml exempt-pr-labels still listed backport,backport-previous. actions/stale matches label names exactly and does not resolve label-sync aliases, so after the rename a kind/backport PR would lose its stale exemption and get auto-closed after inactivity. This is the one behavioural regression; the rest are documentation drift. - PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md told contributors to apply the backport label. - release.md label-target table and the gh pr list --search commands referenced the old names (the searches would silently return nothing). - contributing.md claimed a backport label is auto-applied on the [Backport] prefix; pr-labeler only adds area/release, so the line was already stale and is corrected while renaming. Historical narrative in release.md and the backport scope-to-area doc rows (a Conventional-Commit scope, not the label) are left as-is. Signed-off-by: IvanHunters <[email protected]>
…abels The guard from #3569 appends -label to the concurrency group for any labeled event that is not a backport label, so a backport label never cancels a run already in flight. It enumerated the two legacy names only, so once the labels are namespaced a kind/backport event takes the -label branch and the guard stops covering the case it exists for. Both spellings are listed for the same reason the trigger lists both: the org-level dosubot still applies the legacy names.

The dual acceptance exists so the rename can land in any order relative to disabling dosubot's PR labelling, not because two spellings are wanted long term. Naming the deletion sites keeps that from becoming permanent by default. Assisted-By: Claude <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Myasnikov Daniil <[email protected]>
The concurrency-group key and prepare's `if:` gate now name four labels rather than two, and release-freeze-contract.bats pinned the pair on both sides — as a literal and as an exact count. Every namespaced name appended to the workflow therefore reported as a widening, which is the right default: the count exists because the literal is a substring check and an appended exclusion satisfies it unchanged. Here the appended names are not a widening. `kind/backport` and `kind/backport-previous` are genuine backport requests, so they belong on the same side of the concurrency split as the legacy pair, and the gate has to admit them or the rename stops the bot firing. Both counts go to four and both literals name all four operands, so a half-finished rename still reports. Marked TRANSITIONAL at each site, matching the comment in backport.yaml: when dosubot's PR labelling is switched off and the legacy arms are dropped, these go back to the pair in the same pass.

…#3844) Takes over #3433 and finishes it. Closes #2585. The rename itself is IvanHunters' work, replayed here on current main with his commits intact. What was blocking it was my own review, and this fixes that plus one thing that appeared on main afterwards. ## What was blocking it The gate in `backport.yaml` matched `kind/backport` only after the rename. The `aliases:` in `labels.yml` migrate labels already attached to issues and pull requests, but they do not change what an external applier does going forward, and the org-level dosubot still applies the legacy names. So the bot would have quietly stopped firing for the share of backports it labels. Both spellings are now accepted, in the `if:` gate and in the JS step that reads them. ## What appeared afterwards #3569 landed while #3433 sat, and it added a concurrency guard that appends `-label` to the group for any labeled event that is not a backport label, so a backport label never cancels a run already in flight. That guard enumerated the two legacy names, so once the labels are namespaced a `kind/backport` event takes the `-label` branch and the guard stops covering the case it exists for. Extended to the new names. ## The dual acceptance is transitional and says so Accepting two spellings is a bridge, not a design. The plan is to switch dosubot's pull request labelling off and leave the in-repo labeler as the only applier, at which point the legacy arms can go. The comment in the workflow names all three deletion sites so that cleanup is mechanical: the `if:` gate, the JS step, and the concurrency group. Landing this before or after dosubot is switched off both work, which is the point. ## Checks `actionlint` clean on the workflow. There is no bats coverage for this gate on main; #3813 is what adds `hack/pr-labeler-contract.bats`, so the two are worth landing in that order. ### Release note ```release-note NONE ``` <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **Workflow Improvements** - Backport automation now supports standardized `kind/backport` and `kind/backport-previous` labels while maintaining compatibility with legacy labels during the transition. - Stale pull request handling and backport detection now follow the standardized labeling scheme. - **Documentation** - Updated contribution and release documentation with the new labels, labeling requirements, and troubleshooting guidance. - **Tests** - Expanded validation to cover both standardized and legacy backport labels. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
