Research direction
Examine the current GitHub Actions workflows in `.github/workflows/` for existing labeling logic (e.g., labeler.yml). Identify a way to detect if a PR modifies only files under `tests/` directory. Consider using `paths` filter in labeler action or writing a custom GitHub Action script. Check existing PRs for similar label additions. Coordinate with maintainers if needed.
