How did the label "shiny" even happen? Was it canonized in a guide, in-game dialogue, or interview? Was it in the code somewhere? Did fans/wikis make it up and GF just rolled with it?

It came from the fandom from the effect and sound that a shiny makes when it enters the field, and GF eventually rolled with it and made it the official term

>A Shiny Pokémon (Japanese: 光るポケモン Shiny Pokémon), previously officially known as alternate coloration or rare coloration (Japanese: 色違い differently colored), and called Color Pokémon in Pokémon Stadium 2, is a specific Pokémon with different coloration to what is usual for its species. It is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species.
>The term "Shiny Pokémon" was first created by fans to refer to the sparkling sound effect and animation made at the start of an encounter with one in the games. Eventually, this term fell into official usage in Generation IV, used on promotional material promoting Shiny event Pokémon. The term Shiny Pokémon was first used in-game in Pokémon Black and White in Nimbasa City.

Well you aren't wrong, in the lore of the game it's a magikarp that evolved wrong due to team rockets strange radio wave.
That's why it's magikarp colored.

What the ass is this bullshit? They're still called 色違い, 光るポケモン are the Shining Pokemon from the TCG.

Completely different terms in nip, but English fans confused them as referring to the same thing since consistent game-to-TCG translations have never been a thing.

Have you not looked at the dex for one? It literally says shiny, along with in B2/W2 an NPC says shiny when referring to a shiny Pokemon
