Conversation
The stale workflow applies a 'stale' label that had been deleted from the repo's label set, leaving stale items unfilterable and breaking the documented rescue path (surfaced when issue #58 was auto-marked stale with no permanent opt-out). - Add 'pinned' to exempt-issue-labels and introduce exempt-pr-labels (PRs previously had no exemption mechanism) - Mention the pinned rescue path in the stale-issue message - Document that the stale and pinned labels must exist in the repo's label set The stale (#ededed) and pinned (#5319e7) labels were recreated directly in the repo's label registry via gh label create. Fixes #113 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
