This updates stale PR triage timing so inactive PRs are marked stale after 14 days instead of 30. It also updates the post-stale grace period to 14 days, resulting in a 28-day total inactivity window before automatic closure.

  • Policy timing update

    • Changed initial stale trigger in .github/policies/pr.stale.yml from noActivitySince: 30 to noActivitySince: 14.
    • Updated the first scheduled search description to reflect the 14-day threshold.
    • Changed stale-close trigger from noActivitySince: 30 to noActivitySince: 14 for already-stale PRs.
  • Lifecycle messaging alignment

    • Updated stale notification copy to say closure happens after 14 additional days once marked stale.
    • Updated close notification and description text from 60/44 days to 28 days total inactivity.
