The stale workflow currently closes inactive issues 14 days after they are
marked stale, and inactive PRs 14 days after theirs. Auto-closing is no longer
wanted: stale items should stay open so they remain visible and triageable.

Changes

  • days-before-issue-close: 14 -> -1
  • days-before-pr-close: 14 -> -1

-1 is the documented actions/stale value for "never close", with a comment
noting that.

  • Reworded stale-issue-message and stale-pr-message. Both previously stated
    the item "will be closed in 14 days if no further activity occurs", which is
    no longer true. They now say it will not be closed automatically, keeping the
    existing "please add a label or comment" / "comment or remove the stale label"
    guidance.

Unchanged

days-before-issue-stale: 30 and days-before-pr-stale: 14 (items are still
labelled stale), the actions/stale@v9 version, the stale labels, the exempt
label lists, the cron schedule, and operations-per-run: 30.

Sets both close thresholds to -1, actions/stale's documented "never
close" value, so issues and PRs are still labelled stale after
inactivity but are never closed automatically.

Rewords the stale issue and PR messages accordingly, dropping the
"closed in 14 days" notice that no longer applies.
