+# Stale Repository Identifier
+# This GitHub Action implements the repository activity monitoring requirements outlined in the Sovereign Cloud Stack Procedural Standard (SCS-0006).
+# Functionality
+# - Identifies repositories within the SovereignCloudStack organization that have been inactive for 335 or 365 days
+# - Reports stale repositories based on recent pushes, releases, and pull requests
+# - Automatically creates or updates a GitHub issue with the stale repository report
+# - Runs monthly (on the 1st at 01:00 UTC) and can be manually triggered
+#
+# Limitations
+# - The action does not exclude auto-generated PRs (e.g., Renovate, Dependabot)
+# - It does not handle repositories with no remaining codeowners as stale
+#
+# TODO: These limitations must be implemented via post-processing or contributed upstream.
