+# This workflow automatically marks issues and pull requests as stale after 90 days of inactivity
+# and closes them after an additional 30 days if no further activity occurs.
+#
+# Key behavior:
+# - After 90 days of no activity:
+#     - Open issues and pull requests are labeled with "lifecycle/stale"
+#     - A comment is posted to notify contributors about the inactivity
+#
+# - After 30 additional days (i.e., 120 days total):
+#     - If still inactive and still labeled "lifecycle/stale", the issue or PR is closed
+#     - A closing comment is posted to explain why it was closed
+#
+# - Activity such as a comment, commit, or label removal during the stale period
+#   will remove the "lifecycle/stale" label and reset the clock
+#
+# - Items with any of the following labels will never be marked stale or closed:
+#     - security
+#     - planned
+#     - priority/critical
+#     - lifecycle/frozen
+#     - verified
