P2 Badge Update stale comments after disabling closure

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.
