Release-intent gate requires labels that repositories are not guaranteed to have #84

Description

@cratis-direct

verify-release-intent.yml requires exactly one of major, minor, patch or no-release on a pull request, but nothing ensures those four labels actually exist in the repositories that call it. bootstrap-common-workflows.yml propagates workflows and CodeQL config; labels are not in its scope, and there is no other job that reconciles them.

Today the four labels are inconsistent across the organization:

The consequence is that in a repository missing major, a breaking-change pull request cannot satisfy the gate at all. The author has no correct label to apply, and the only ways out are to create a label mid-review or to mislabel the change as minor - which then cuts the wrong version. The gate's error message tells the author to "add exactly one of major, minor or patch", naming a label that is not there.

Since the gate is the reason the labels have to exist, it seems reasonable for this repository to own reconciling them - either as a step in the existing bootstrap workflow or as a small companion that creates any of the four that are missing, with consistent names and descriptions.
