Problem

The os-backlog CLI has no command to add or remove a label on an existing issue. Agents cannot apply ready-for-agent, or remove it, through the CLI.

Observed

On 2026-09-30, agents called Backlog::Issues#add_label from an ad hoc Ruby script to apply ready-for-agent.
On 2026-10-01, an agent also scripted label removal through Backlog::ForgejoBackend#remove_label, and scripted blocking edges through client.repo(owner, name).issues.add_dependency.
os-backlog help lists no command for labels on an issue or for dependencies.

Reproduce

os-backlog help

No label-add, label-remove, or dependency command appears.

Approach

Add label-add and label-remove commands that call the existing backend methods. Dependency edges are a separate gap and are noted only as evidence.

Required work:

Add the label commands to the CLI — check: present label-add in plugins/os-backlog/lib/backlog/**/*.rb

Acceptance criteria

Given an open issue, when os-backlog label-add N LABEL runs, then the issue carries LABEL.
Given an issue with LABEL, when os-backlog label-remove N LABEL runs, then the issue no longer carries LABEL.

Owner sketch

class Backlog::CLI
  def label_add(number, label)
  end

  def label_remove(number, label)
  end
end

Origin

Trigger: applying ready-for-agent on 2026-09-30 and 2026-10-01
Improvised this session: Ruby script calling Backlog::Issues#add_label, Backlog::ForgejoBackend#remove_label, and Forgejo add_dependency
Chain: agents script label edits ← CLI has no label command ← DESIGN (plugins/os-backlog CLI command set)

Mechanism: the os-backlog CLI lacks a label/comment surface. Related, not folded: #943 (issue-create --label rejects wayfinder labels).

Occurrence: Add a label verb to the os-backlog CLI
Seen: plugins/os-backlog/bin/os-backlog (no label verb; only categorize and ensure-labels)
Run: 313ee80d-b132-4de6-a01d-e1a57fbd3450
Adds: agents cannot apply the waiting label, so #1429 and #1430 stay blocked in comments only. A label verb must refuse next (ADR-0042).
