## Labels

Dex manages labels on GitHub issues (using the configured prefix, default `dex`):

| Label | Meaning |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------- |
| `dex` | Base label identifying dex-managed issues |
| `dex:pending` | Task not yet started |
| `dex:in-progress` | Task started but not completed |
| `dex:completed` | Task completed and verified |
| `dex:priority-N` | Task priority level |

Non-dex labels are preserved during sync updates. If you add labels like `bug`, `enhancement`, or custom team labels to a dex-managed issue, sync will not remove them.
