### Step 1: Fetch recent template PRs

- List the last 50 merged PRs in `microsoft/vscode-python-tools-extension-template`.
- If there are no merged PRs, stop.
- List merged PRs in `microsoft/vscode-python-tools-extension-template` that were merged in the **last 48 hours**. Ignore any PRs merged before that window.
- If there are no recently merged PRs, stop.

### Step 2: For each merged PR, detect missing changes

```

**IMPORTANT**: When referencing a template PR anywhere in the issue (title, body, or comments), always use the **full URL** (e.g., `https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python-tools-extension-template/pull/123`), never the shorthand `#123` or `microsoft/vscode-python-tools-extension-template#123`, to avoid confusion with this repository's own issues and PRs.

### Step 4: Handle edge cases

- **CI/workflow files** (`.github/workflows/`, Azure Pipelines): These are often shared — still assess relevance.
- **Large refactors**: Flag differing files and summarize in the issue body.
- **Dependency updates** (`requirements.in`, `requirements.txt`, `package.json`): Only consider shared dependencies, not tool-specific ones.
- **No unsynced changes found**: Do nothing — do not create any issues.
- **Already-open issues**: Before creating a new issue, search for existing open issues in this repository with the same title pattern (`Template Sync: <title>`). If one already exists for the same template PR, skip it to avoid duplicates.
- **Duplicate prevention**: Before creating a new issue, search for existing issues **and** pull requests in this repository — both **open and closed** — with the same title pattern (`Template Sync: <title>`) or that reference the same template PR number. If a matching issue or PR already exists, skip it to avoid duplicates.
