Review stale issues and take appropriate action.
1. **Find stale issues** (no activity in 30+ days):
```bash
gh issue list --state open --json number,title,updatedAt,labels --limit 50
```
2. **For each stale issue**, evaluate:
- Is it still relevant?
- Does it need more information?
- Has it been resolved by other changes?
- Should it be closed as stale?
3. **Take action**:
- **Needs info**: Add `needs-info` label and comment asking for updates
- **Likely resolved**: Comment asking if still relevant, add `stale` label
- **Close**: If marked stale for 14+ days with no response, close with comment
4. **Example commands**:
- Add label: `gh issue edit NUMBER --add-label "stale"`
- Comment: `gh issue comment NUMBER --body "message"`
- Close: `gh issue close NUMBER --comment "Closing as stale"`
Be respectful in comments. Don't close issues that are clearly still problems.
Limit to processing 10 issues maximum per run.
