Not sure what this is doing, but I trust it is correct 👍

@langleyd Errr, ok it failed to run: https://github.com/element-hq/compound/actions/runs/11176351416/job/31069524078

Also, looking at that run, I wonder, do we actually want to sync labels with Compound? E.g. things like Rust: Expert don't particularly seem useful on this repo.

@pixlwave Looks like GH gives a 404 for insufficient privileges, so I'm guessing the ELEMENT_BOT_TOKEN could be invalid. I can have IT make sure it's up to date.

sync-labels merges labels with those on the element-meta repo and the local labels.yml file. It means we can maintain common labels across repos from a single place(element-meta), like the T- O- S- A- if we want to have common process/consistency. There are defo some in meta that need to be cleaned up(like old teams), but at least it can be done in one place.

Our plan with these two PR was to have the web ones sent to our triage board to be triaged in the same was as our other issues.

As you mention, it comes at the expense of some extraneous labels, but they can just be ignored? WDYT?

Right, got it. I guess I had assumed things like team and A- labels wouldn't be common, but makes sense to me, thanks for explaining.
