When an issue is opened or edited:

1. **Analyze the issue** that triggered this workflow (available in `github.event.issue`)
2. **Classify the issue** based on its title and body content
3. **Apply appropriate labels** using the `add_labels` tool
4. If uncertain, add the `needs-triage` label for human review
2. **Check if the author is a community member** — if `author_association` is `NONE`, `FIRST_TIME_CONTRIBUTOR`, `FIRST_TIMER`, or `CONTRIBUTOR`, and the author is **not** a bot (`user.type != "Bot"` and login does not end with `[bot]`), include `community` in the labels to apply

Step 2 hard-codes the full community/bot criteria inline, but the same rule is repeated later under “### Community Label”. Keeping the criteria in two places risks them drifting; consider making step 2 reference the “Community Label” rule (or otherwise centralize the criteria) and keep the detailed condition in only one section.

The bot check uses user.type and “login” without specifying the JSON path. To avoid ambiguity (and to match step 1’s github.event.issue reference), spell these out as github.event.issue.user.type and github.event.issue.user.login (and similarly github.event.issue.author_association).
