GitHub Actions / Close PRs for issues without help wanted

Workflow execution policy warning (evaluate mode)

On November 2, 2026, GitHub will restrict `pull_request_target` on public repositories by default. To continue allowing the event trigger, configure an Actions policy. Learn more: https://gh.io/securely-using-pull_request_target#default-policy-for-pull_request_target
# docs-internal mirrors workflows to github/docs, so enforce this rule only in the public repo.
