.github/workflows/stale.yml:24
- It appears the original any-of-labels setting was removed when introducing exempt-all-assignees. Without re-adding any-of-labels, the bot may no longer filter by 'need info', 'Waiting for response', or 'stale' before marking issues. Consider restoring the any-of-labels configuration if that filtering is still required.
