Summary

Add a daily actions/stale@v9 workflow to keep issues and PRs from rotting.

Behavior

  • Runs daily at 08:00 UTC (and on workflow_dispatch).
  • Issues: marked stale after 90 days of inactivity, closed 14 days later.
  • PRs: marked stale after 45 days of inactivity, closed 14 days later.
  • Exempt: draft PRs and anything assigned to a milestone.
  • Close messages say "Reopen if still relevant" so stale closures are cheap to undo and signal nothing.

Thresholds are a starting point — happy to loosen or tighten them if they feel off in practice.

Testing

Workflow can be dry-run via the Run workflow button (workflow_dispatch) before the first scheduled run to preview what it would touch.

Runs daily at 08:00 UTC and marks inactive issues/PRs stale, then
closes them after a grace period:

- Issues: stale after 90 days, closed after 14 more days
- PRs: stale after 45 days, closed after 14 more days
- Draft PRs and items in a milestone are exempt

Closures use 'reopen if still relevant' messaging so they are cheap
to undo.
