The issue form only applies labels for web-form submissions; contributors filing via API/CLI or from a fork lack the triage/write needed to set labels, so their proposals landed unlabeled and never auto-added to the Silo v1 project. Add an issues:opened workflow that stamps v1-proposed on any [v1]-titled issue via the repo GITHUB_TOKEN, regardless of filer permission. Also drop epic from the proposal template's auto-labels: a fresh proposal is a candidate, not yet a tracked epic. epic-ness (better: the Epic issue type) is applied at acceptance/lock alongside v1 + milestone.
