CI: stale-issue bot with good-first-issue and high-complexity exemptions #147

Description

@samjay8

Context

The backlog is growing quickly (50+ open issues); without a stale policy, abandoned or already-fixed issues will linger and mislead contributors.

Task

Add a stale workflow (actions/stale) that marks issues/PRs with no activity for 90 days as stale with a comment, closes them 14 days later, and exempts labeled items (good first issue, tracking, high-complexity).

Stop

Do not set aggressive timeouts. Do not auto-close anything in its first two weeks of activity.

Acceptance

  • The workflow file is present and the exemption labels are configured.
  • A dry-run (or review of the config) confirms exempt labels are respected.
