name: Stale issues and PRs

# Daily sweep: marks inactive issues/PRs as stale and eventually closes
# them. The `keep` label opts an item out entirely; `good first issue`
# and `bug` are also exempt for issues. opendecree/decree#162.
# Daily sweep. Issues are marked stale for visibility but are never closed
# automatically — on this project the issue tracker doubles as the roadmap,
# and a parked item is not an abandoned one. Pull requests still auto-close,
# since a stale PR is genuinely abandoned work.
#
# Issue exemptions: anything with a milestone, plus the `keep`,
# `good first issue`, and `bug` labels. opendecree/decree#162, opendecree/decree#1028.
#
# Tuning happens here per-repo so each project can adjust independently
# if traffic patterns diverge.
