Linear returns a GraphQL error "duplicate label name" when a label with the same name already exists in a team. Previously this surfaced as a 500 to the dashboard user. Now createLabel catches that specific error, fetches the team's labels, and returns the existing one by name — making the operation idempotent and the PM-wizard bulk-create banner safe to retry.
