## Description
This PR introduces an automated stale issue management reflex script. The script identifies issues that have been inactive for more than 14 days and marks them as `stale` with a nudge to the author. If no further activity occurs for another 7 days, the issue is automatically closed.

The script is "actor-aware" and will not mark an issue as stale if the last comment was from the community, ensuring we don't block users when we are the bottleneck. It also exempts issues labeled `help-wanted` or `🔒Maintainers only`.

## Why is this recommended?
The repository currently has at least 1,000 open issues, many of which appear to be stale. This massive backlog masks the true health of the project and increases the mental load for maintainers. High latency for community issues (46.6h) suggests that follow-up is a bottleneck. Automating the closure of inactive issues will allow maintainers to focus on active, high-priority items.

## Target Metric
`open_issues`

## Expected Improvement
A reduction of `open_issues` by approximately 20-30% (200-300 issues) within the first 30 days of operation.
