  • Incorrect field name in safe-outputs configuration. The field should be allowed, not labels. According to the safe-outputs documentation, add-labels uses allowed to restrict to specific labels. The correct syntax is:
safe-outputs:
  add-labels:
    allowed: ["spam", "needs-review"]
  add-labels:
    labels: ["spam", "needs-review"]
