Description
Currently labels should match the regular expression /^[a-z0-9_]+$/ and must not start with an underscore which is fine when your configuration is small. If your configuration grows you will want to put some structure in your labels and the allowed set of characters; a-z, 0-9 and _ is a bit too limiting.

Research direction
Locate the label validation entry point and inspect how labels are parsed and tested. Define the expanded allowed character set and confirm that validation still rejects labels beginning with an underscore; add or update focused tests so the accepted and rejected forms are explicit.
