📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The .github/labeler.yml configuration file is simplified by renaming the "Needs review" label to "Work in progress" while removing all other label definitions (Hardware, Framework, BSP, GitHub Actions, GitHub, Desktop, Patches, Documentation). The broad file-match rule (any-glob-to-any-file: '**') is preserved for the retained label.

Poem

🐰 One label hops ahead with mighty care,
While seven others fade into thin air,
"Work in progress" claims the stage so grand,
A simpler labeling across the land! ✨

Parhaps we add both labels by default - Work in progress and Needs review. When WIP is removed, its ready for human review?
