Subject: [PATCH] ci: scope labeler concurrency group to the PR (#25236)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Problem

The labeler workflow has been silently skipping labels on some PRs. The
runs show up as `cancelled` rather than `success`.

Root cause is the concurrency config:

```yaml
concurrency:
  group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}
  cancel-in-progress: true
```

The workflow triggers on `pull_request_target`, and for that event
`github.ref` resolves to the **base branch** (`refs/heads/main`), not
the PR head ref. So every labeler run across **all** open PRs lands in
the same concurrency group (`labeler-refs/heads/main`), and
`cancel-in-progress: true` kills whichever run is in flight as soon as
another PR triggers the workflow.

When several PRs are created or updated within seconds of each other,
the earlier runs get cancelled before they finish labeling. Example from
recent runs:

- `sbx-policy-recipes` (cancelled) ← cancelled by `remove-api-header`
(success) seconds later
- `sbx-linux-keychain` (cancelled) ← cancelled by `storage-drivers`
(success) seconds later

## Fix

Key the concurrency group on the PR number instead, falling back to
`github.ref` for non-PR contexts, so each PR gets its own group and runs
no longer cancel each other.

```yaml
group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.event.pull_request.number || github.ref }}
```

> [!NOTE]
> A separate, rarer class of labeler failures (genuine `failure` status)
was caused by transient GitHub infrastructure errors downloading the
pinned action tarball at the "Set up job" step. Those are not addressed
here as they only need a re-run.
