Subject: [PATCH] fix: replace actions/labeler with inline script to eliminate
 rate limiting

actions/labeler@v6 fetches the PR via API on every run, which silently
fails with 'Could not find pull request' when the installation rate
limit is exhausted. Replace it with an inline github-script that reads
the branch name directly from the event payload (zero API calls for
branch-name rules). The .github file-change check for the 'repo' label
is the only rule that needs an API call, and it's skipped when the
branch name already matches.

Also removes .github/labeler.yml which is no longer needed.
