Problem

On 2026-10-04 two agents filed the wayfinder map #936 and its children #937-#942 through the os-backlog CLI.
Neither agent could apply the labels that plugins/os-backlog/references/wayfinder-conventions.md names.
The conventions file names the labels but gives no command to apply them.
Result: #936 has no wayfinder:map label and #937-#942 have no wayfinder:task label, so a frontier query by label does not find them.
Older map issues on the tracker carry wayfinder:map, so the label probably exists and only the CLI path is missing.

Observed

os-backlog issue-create --label wayfinder:map (and wayfinder:task) fails with "unknown label". The CLI validates --label against the scope label list (plugin/*, project/cc-os).
os-backlog help lists no command that adds a label to an existing issue. issue-edit takes only --body-file and --title.

Reproduce

n/a: design gap; the CLI has no label path for wayfinder labels.

Approach

Outcome wanted: an agent can file a map and its children with the wayfinder labels through the os-backlog CLI alone, and #936-#942 get their labels.

Origin

Trigger: filing wayfinder map #936 and children #937-#942 on 2026-10-04.
Improvised this session: none
Chain: no label in #936-#942 <- CLI rejects wayfinder labels and has no add-label command <- DESIGN (plugins/os-backlog/references/wayfinder-conventions.md names labels with no command)
Root candidate: none
Where: plugins/os-backlog (CLI issue-create label validation, issue-edit)

## Problem On 2026-10-04 two agents filed the wayfinder map #936 and its children #937-#942 through the os-backlog CLI. Neither agent could apply the labels that `plugins/os-backlog/references/wayfinder-conventions.md` names. The conventions file names the labels but gives no command to apply them.
