Research direction

Start by reading issue #10 and inspecting how PR labels are assigned, then check the scripts/ and src/harness areas mentioned here, including where unit tests are located. Done means PRs limited to the agreed housekeeping paths receive the Housekeeping label without labeling excluded files such as unit tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

You could confidently add the Housekeeping label to any PR that only touches files in, say, scripts/ or perhaps src/harness (except unit tests, I think they're in there somewhere). That will miss many categories of Housekeeping PRs, like type-annotation-only ones, but there aren't many of them anyway.
