+# Daily sweep: marks inactive issues/PRs as stale and eventually closes
+# them. The `keep` label opts an item out entirely; `good first issue`
+# and `bug` are also exempt for issues. opendecree/decree#162.
+#
+# Tuning happens here per-repo so each project can adjust independently
+# if traffic patterns diverge.
