Hi iboB,
What you're seeing is a feature of GitHub that automatically detects conventional commit messages. When you use a format like test: in your commit message, GitHub interprets it as a scope and generates a label based on that prefix.
This behavior is often linked to projects that follow the Conventional Commits specification, which helps in organizing commits and generating changelogs. The labels you see in the UI are dynamically generated from the commit prefixes and are not tied to issue labels in your repository.
While GitHub doesn't have specific documentation on this feature, you can learn more about Conventional Commits and how it's used in release management here.
