Description

See https://github.com/probot/stale: The stale bot is no longer maintained, the authors recommend switching to https://github.com/actions/stale.

Contributor guide

Research direction
The issue is to replace the deprecated probot/stale bot with the official actions/stale action. Review the official actions/stale documentation to understand configuration options. Then locate the current stale bot configuration in the repository (likely in a .github/config.yml or similar) and create or modify a GitHub Actions workflow file (e.g., .github/workflows/stale.yml) to use the new action with equivalent settings. Test the workflow if possible and submit a pull request.
