| # discussion quality and encourages opening new issues for new problems. | |
| # | |
| # Triggers: | |
| # - Scheduled: Daily at 2am UTC | |
| # - Manual: Via workflow_dispatch | |
| # | |
| # Behavior: | |
| # - Issues: Locked 90 days after closing | |
| # - PRs: Locked 60 days after closing | |
| # - Only processes closed items | |
| # - Adds explanatory comment before locking | |
| # - Respects exemption labels | |
| # | |
| # Exemptions: | |
| # - Issues with: keep-open, pinned, security labels | |
| # - PRs with: keep-open, pinned labels | |
