Add issue triage workflow

Add an agentic workflow for automated issue triage of
modelcontextprotocol/csharp-sdk. The workflow runs daily (scheduled)
or on-demand (workflow_dispatch) and produces a BLUF (Bottom Line Up
Front) triage report published as a rolling GitHub issue.

Skill (.github/skills/issue-triage/):

  The issue-triage skill is a standalone, workflow-agnostic procedure
  that generates a prioritized triage report.

Workflow (.github/workflows/issue-triage.md):

  The workflow orchestrates the skill with trend analysis and
  publishing:

  - Invokes the skill to generate the base triage report
  - Performs trend analysis by gathering prior triage reports from
    7/14/28-day windows, comparing metrics, and inserting a Trends
    section into the report
  - Surfaces maintainer guidance from comments on prior report issues
  - Publishes via safe-outputs: update-issue on an existing open
    report issue (with fallback to create-issue), or noop for Action
    Summary mode
  - Handles the create-issue/update-issue title-prefix asymmetry
  - Uses the select-copilot-pat action to rotate AUDIT_PAT secrets

 Generate a comprehensive, prioritized issue triage report for the `modelcontextprotocol/csharp-sdk` repository. The C# SDK is **Tier 1** ([tracking issue](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol/issues/2261)), so apply the Tier 1 SLA thresholds (for triage, P0 resolution, and other applicable timelines) as defined in the live Tier 1 requirements fetched from `sdk-tiers.mdx` in Step 1. **Triage** means the issue has at least one type label (`bug`, `enhancement`, `question`, `documentation`) or status label (`needs confirmation`, `needs repro`, `ready for work`, `good first issue`, `help wanted`).

+**Exclude** any issue labeled `automation` from the triage data set. These are workflow-generated issues (e.g., triage reports, tier audits) and are not part of the SDK issue backlog.
+
+### Step 3: Fetch Recently Closed Issues
+
+Fetch issues closed in `modelcontextprotocol/csharp-sdk` within the last 28 days (anchor: `closed_at` timestamp). **Exclude** issues labeled `automation`.
+
+For each closed issue, capture:
+- Number, title
+- All labels (type, status, priority)
+- Closed date and close reason (`completed` vs `not_planned`)
+- Whether the issue has a linked pull request
+
+Quantify closures across three sliding windows:
+
+| Window | Breakdown |
+|--------|-----------|
+| **7 days** | Total closed, by type label (bug, enhancement, question, documentation, unlabeled), by close reason (completed vs not planned), count with linked PR |
+| **14 days** | Same breakdown |
+| **28 days** | Same breakdown |
+
+This data provides a resolution velocity snapshot — how quickly the backlog is being worked down and what kinds of issues are being resolved.
+
+### Step 4: Fetch Recent Pull Requests
+
+Fetch open **and** recently closed/merged pull requests from `modelcontextprotocol/csharp-sdk`. Include PRs that are open or that were merged or updated within the last 28 days (anchor: `merged_at` for merged PRs, `updated_at` for open PRs). For each PR, capture:
+- Number, title, body (description), state (open, closed, merged)
+- Changed file paths (from the PR's file list)

+- Merge date (if merged)

+
+#### Semantic matching for unlinked relationships
+
+Beyond explicit link detection, perform semantic matching to find potential PR-issue relationships that are not captured by "Fixes/Closes/Resolves" references:
+
+1. **Title/description keyword overlap:** Compare each open issue's title and first 500 characters of its body against each PR's title and description. Look for shared domain-specific terms, error messages, class/method names, or feature descriptions.
+2. **Changed file paths:** If an issue mentions specific files, classes, or components (e.g., "SseResponseStreamTransport", "McpClient"), check whether any PR modifies files related to those components.
+3. **Thematic alignment:** Match issues and PRs that address the same theme (e.g., an issue about OAuth token refresh and a PR touching OAuth middleware).
+
+Classify each match with a confidence tier:
+
+| Confidence | Criteria | Recommended action |
+|------------|----------|--------------------|
+| **Explicit link** | PR body contains "Fixes #N", "Closes #N", "Resolves #N", or GitHub metadata links them | "Close — resolved by PR #N" or "Link to PR #N" |
+| **High confidence** | Strong keyword overlap in title + body AND relevant file paths changed | "Possibly resolved by PR #N — verify and link" |
+| **Medium confidence** | Thematic alignment or partial keyword overlap | "Possibly related to PR #N — review for relevance" |
+
+Do not report low-confidence matches. Only explicit links justify recommending "Close — resolved by PR." Semantic matches should use "possibly related" or "possibly resolved" language and recommend manual verification.
+
+Use this data during the deep-dive review (Step 7) to enrich issue assessments with PR context.
