Labels

Labels are colored tags scoped to a hive (every honeycomb in the hive shares the same catalogue). Use them for triage states the built-in status doesn't cover: regression, needs design, pre-launch, backend-only, etc.

Creating a label

In /{hive}/settings/labels:

Click New label.
Pick a name and a color (hex #RRGGBB).
Save.

You can also create labels from your AI assistant via MCP — see create_label.

Renaming or recoloring

Click the pencil icon on the row in /settings/labels, edit, save. Existing attachments to bichitos are preserved.

Deleting a label

Hit the trash icon. Confirmation dialog warns you that the label will be removed from every bichito it was attached to. The bichitos themselves stay; only the tag goes.

Attaching to a bichito

Three ways:

From the bug detail sidebar — labels picker, click to toggle.
From the inbox bulk action bar — select multiple bichitos, "Add label", pick.
From the AI assistant — attach_label({ bug_id, label_name }) over MCP.

Attach is idempotent: calling on an already-attached label is a no-op.

Filtering by label

In the inbox toolbar, the labels row shows every label in the active hive as a chip. Click a chip to filter; click again to unselect. Multiple selected labels are AND-joined (the bichito must have all of them).

The filter survives in the URL, so saved views can carry label combinations.

Realtime updates

Attaches and detaches fan out over SSE — open the inbox in another tab and you'll see the chip appear/disappear on the row immediately. Same for changes made from MCP, the bug detail sidebar, or bulk actions.

How many labels can I have?

There's no fixed cap, but the practical limit is what fits in the inbox label row without scrolling. Most hives settle around 5–15 active labels. If you find yourself creating dozens, that's a sign two of them probably mean the same thing.
