Initial setup

[paescuj]

Simple GitHub action for closing issues certain days after they have been marked with a stale label.

This addresses directus/directus#22959. A separate action is required as the currently used one (https://github.com/actions/stale) does not fulfill our needs, see actions/stale#1135 (comment).
In contrast, this action simply uses the labeling date to determine when to close an issue.

The action will be usable as follows:

jobs:
  stale:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: directus/stale-issues-action@vX
        with:
          stale-label: stale
          days-before-close: 7
          close-message: Closing this issue as it has become stale.

---

• The action can be tested locally as follows:

  pnpm build
  env 'INPUT_GITHUB-TOKEN=<my-token>' 'INPUT_GITHUB-REPO=directus/directus' 'INPUT_STALE-LABEL=:detective: Needs More Info' 'INPUT_DAYS-BEFORE-CLOSE=7' 'INPUT_DRY-RUN=true' node dist/index.js
  

  Found 5 issues with stale label
  Issue #22265 (https://github.com/directus/directus/issues/22265) is stale since 3 months and would have been closed (dry-run)
  Issue #22284 (https://github.com/directus/directus/issues/22284) is stale since 3 months and would have been closed (dry-run)
  Issue #22488 (https://github.com/directus/directus/issues/22488) is stale since 2 months and would have been closed (dry-run)
  Issue #22527 (https://github.com/directus/directus/issues/22527) is stale since 2 months and would have been closed (dry-run)
  Issue #23105 (https://github.com/directus/directus/issues/23105) is not yet stale, will become stale in 2 hours

• Included workflows:
  • Rebuild: Builds the action on every commit to main, updating the dist if there are any changes
  • Check: Lint, Typecheck, Test (dry-run action call)
  • Release: Create new version by dispatching this workflow
• Unit test have been added

---

• Ideally, https://github.com/directus/eslint-config should be released first and then the package.json file needs to be adjusted

  stale-issues-action/package.json

  Line 17 in 07eb2e5

  "@directus/eslint-config": "link:../eslint-config",

  or we disable linting for now

Looks like a good setup overall!

I've put some general review throughout the GitHub Actions workflows, but the big thing that's missing here are our unit tests *.test.ts. Especially since the logic is so easy right now, we absolutely need to make sure we've got those in place :)

Good looking tests! 👍

I have a few more pedantic comments that I'll leave to your discretion, otherwise this looks good to me

Oh I suppose we should probably be passing our own checks before we go live as well.

Does somebody with admin want to go put the standard rules on this for the repo / main? :)

Yep, good point! I'll apply the rules.
