   @skrawcz here's the script to create the labels. Needs write access to run (gh CLI authenticated).

   echo "Done! 40 labels created + 2 renamed."

   After this I can handle the migration to the new labels myself with triage access (#692, #693).

   @skrawcz here's the script to delete the legacy labels. Same deal, needs write access.

   All issues and PRs have already been migrated to the new taxonomy (#692, #693), so these labels are now unused.

   #!/usr/bin/env bash
   REPO="apache/burr"
   
   labels=(
     "invalid"
     "duplicate"
     "launch"
     "exploratory"
     "product direction"
     "design decision"
     "hamilton"
     "AWS"
     "javascript"
     "release-issues"
     "exceptions"
     "triage"
     "bug"
     "documentation"
     "enhancement"
     "question"
     "wontfix"
     "repo hygiene"
     "parallelism"
     "visibility"
     "ui"
     "storage"
     "integrations"
     "visualization"
     "hooks"
     "examples"
     "umbrella"
   )
   
   for label in "${labels[@]}"; do
     echo "Deleting: $label"
     gh label delete "$label" --repo "$REPO" --yes
   done
   
   echo "Done! ${#labels[@]} legacy labels deleted."
