Description
Updates the stale and closure messages for issues and pull requests to request substantive, actionable context rather than a statement that an item is merely still relevant.
The new guidance also distinguishes when contributors should reopen the existing item from when they should create a new linked issue or pull request because the scope, reproduction, branch, or implementation has materially changed.
Testing
git diff --checkNo CLI or runtime tests were run because this change only updates messages in the stale workflow configuration.
