fix(stale): never auto-close — label only (days-before-close: -1)#43
Conversation
This universe never closes/dismisses/deletes an issue or PR — every request is preserved and evolved. Set the stale close window to -1 so the workflow labels but never closes; the 60-day informational `stale` label is unchanged. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

How can I continue?After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews. How do review limits work?CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability. For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

With days-before-close: -1, actions/stale@v10 documents this input as “never close stale issues or pull requests,” but this workflow still posts the unchanged stale issue/PR messages above saying “Will close in 14 days.” In the weekly stale workflow, every newly stale issue or PR will now receive a false auto-close warning even though the new policy is label-only, so the closure text should be removed or updated when disabling close.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
The stale workflow auto-closed issues/PRs, violating this universe's absolute doctrine: we never close, dismiss, or delete — if it was ever asked for it was wanted.
This sets the close window to
-1(actions/stalenever-close), preserving the informationalstalelabel but never closing. Surgical, reversible, single-file.
