+# Status Update: Projman Plugin - Label Creation Complete
+
+**Date:** 2025-11-21
+**Branch:** feat/projman
+**Status:** ✅ Labels Created & Verified - Ready for Plugin Testing
+
+## Summary
+
+Successfully completed label creation for the Projman plugin! All 43 labels have been created in Gitea and verified working with the MCP server.
+
+## What Was Accomplished
+
+### 1. Label Creation ✅
+- **Created 27 organization labels** in hhl-infra organization
+- **Created 16 repository labels** in claude-code-hhl-toolkit repository
+- **Total: 43 labels** (corrected from initial documentation of 44)
+- All labels created programmatically via Gitea API
+
+### 2. MCP Server Verification ✅
+- Verified MCP server fetches all 27 organization labels
+- Verified MCP server fetches all 16 repository labels
+- Tested label suggestion logic - working correctly
+- Configuration loading from both system and project levels verified
+
+### 3. Documentation ✅
+- Created `create_labels.py` - reusable label creation script
+- Created `LABEL_CREATION_COMPLETE.md` - detailed label documentation
+- Created `test_mcp_labels.py` - comprehensive label fetching test
+- Created this status update
+
+## Label Breakdown
+
+### Organization Labels (27)
+- **Agent:** 2 labels (Human, Claude)
+- **Complexity:** 3 labels (Simple, Medium, Complex)
+- **Efforts:** 5 labels (XS, S, M, L, XL)
+- **Priority:** 4 labels (Low, Medium, High, Critical)
+- **Risk:** 3 labels (Low, Medium, High)
+- **Source:** 4 labels (Development, Staging, Production, Customer)
+- **Type:** 6 labels (Bug, Feature, Refactor, Documentation, Test, Chore)
+
+### Repository Labels (16)
+- **Component:** 9 labels (Backend, Frontend, API, Database, Auth, Deploy, Testing, Docs, Infra)
+- **Tech:** 7 labels (Python, JavaScript, Docker, PostgreSQL, Redis, Vue, FastAPI)
+
+## Test Results
+
+### MCP Server Label Fetching Test
+```
+✅ Organization labels: 27/27 (100%)
+✅ Repository labels: 16/16 (100%)
+✅ Total labels: 43/43 (100%)
+✅ Label suggestions working correctly
+```
+
+### Label Suggestion Examples
+1. **"Fix critical bug in authentication service causing login failures"**
+   - Suggested: Type/Bug, Priority/Critical, Complexity/Medium, Efforts/L, Component/Backend, Component/Auth
+
+2. **"Add new feature to export reports to PDF format"**
+   - Suggested: Type/Feature, Priority/Medium, Complexity/Medium, Efforts/S
+
+3. **"Refactor backend API to extract authentication service"**
+   - Suggested: Type/Refactor, Priority/Medium, Complexity/Medium, Component/Backend, Component/API, Component/Auth
+
+All suggestions are accurate and appropriate! 🎉
+
+## Files Created/Modified
+
+**New Files:**
+- `create_labels.py` - Label creation script (381 lines)
+- `test_mcp_labels.py` - MCP server label test (136 lines)
+- `docs/LABEL_CREATION_COMPLETE.md` - Label documentation
+- `docs/STATUS_UPDATE_2025-11-21.md` - This document
+
+**Commits:**
+1. `73fb576` - feat: create all 43 labels in Gitea (27 org + 16 repo)
+2. `3e571f0` - test: verify MCP server fetches all 43 labels correctly
+
+## Documentation Correction
+
+**Original Documentation:** 44 labels (28 org + 16 repo)
+**Actual Count:** 43 labels (27 org + 16 repo)
+
+**Explanation:** The CREATE_LABELS_GUIDE.md stated 28 organization labels but only listed 27. The math confirms 27 is correct: 2+3+5+4+3+4+6 = 27.
+
+## Configuration Details
+
+**Gitea Configuration:**
+- API URL: `https://gitea.hotserv.cloud/api/v1`
+- Organization: `hhl-infra`
+- Repository: `claude-code-hhl-toolkit`
+- Token: Configured in `~/.config/claude/gitea.env`
+
+**MCP Server:**
+- Location: `mcp-servers/gitea/`
+- Mode: Project mode (single-repo)
+- Config: Hybrid (system + project level)
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Now that labels are created and verified, we can proceed with full plugin testing:
+
+### Immediate Next Steps:
+1. ⏭️ **Test `/sprint-plan` command** - Verify it can create issues with labels
+2. ⏭️ **Test `/labels-sync` command** - Verify it updates labels-reference.md
+3. ⏭️ **Create test issues** - Validate label assignment works in Gitea UI
+4. ⏭️ **Test label suggestions** - Try sprint planning with different contexts
+
+### Full Workflow Testing (After Basic Tests):
+1. Complete sprint planning workflow
+2. Test sprint start and orchestration
+3. Verify sprint status reporting
+4. Test sprint close and lessons learned
+5. Execute complete end-to-end sprint cycle
+
+### Before User Testing:
+- ✅ Phase 1: MCP Servers (Complete)
+- ✅ Phase 2: Commands (Complete)
+- ✅ Phase 3: Agents (Complete)
+- ✅ Labels Created (Complete)
+- ⏭️ Phase 4: Functional Testing (Next)
+
+## Technical Notes
+
+### Gitea API Behavior
+When querying `/repos/{owner}/{repo}/labels`, Gitea returns only repository-specific labels (16 labels). Organization labels don't appear in this endpoint but are still available for issue tagging.
+
+The MCP server correctly handles this by:
+1. Fetching org labels via `/orgs/{owner}/labels` (27 labels)
+2. Fetching repo labels via `/repos/{owner}/{repo}/labels` (16 labels)
+3. Merging both sets for a total of 43 available labels
+
+See `mcp-servers/gitea/mcp_server/tools/labels.py:29` for implementation.
+
+### Label Suggestion Algorithm
+The label suggestion logic uses keyword matching and context analysis to recommend appropriate labels. It correctly:
+- Detects issue type from keywords (bug, feature, refactor, etc.)
+- Infers priority from urgency indicators
+- Identifies affected components from technical terms
+- Suggests tech stack labels based on mentioned technologies
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+- ✅ All 43 labels created successfully (0 errors)
+- ✅ MCP server verified working (100% test pass rate)
+- ✅ Label suggestions tested and accurate
+- ✅ Configuration validated (system + project)
+- ✅ Documentation complete and accurate
+
+## Conclusion
+
+**The label taxonomy is complete and fully functional!** All 43 labels are created in Gitea, the MCP server can fetch them correctly, and the label suggestion system is working beautifully.
+
+We're now ready to move forward with comprehensive plugin testing. The blocking issue from the previous testing session has been resolved.
+
+**Status: Ready for Plugin Functional Testing** 🚀
