From 06e82410e4141b425b4cc3cdb5893de0fc2eed6c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 17:21:07 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix: exempt the half-state patrol's anchor from the stale bot Add `tracking` to `exempt-issue-labels` in `.github/workflows/stale.yml` with a comment explaining why: the patrol's anchor issue carries `tracking` as its only label and stays alive solely through the patrol's own heartbeat, so without this exemption a dead patrol's anchor is marked stale at 60 days and closed 14 days later -- removing the one artifact whose job is to make that death visible.
