Add stale PR bot - remind contributors after 7 days of no activity #163

Description

@Ayush-Patel-56

Problem

PRs sometimes sit open for weeks with no updates. Maintainers have to chase people manually.

What should happen

A workflow that runs on a schedule, checks open PRs, and posts a reminder if there has been no push or comment in 7 days:

  • After 7 days: post a check-in comment asking if it is still in progress
  • After 14 days: add a stale label

Implementation notes

GitHub has a first-party actions/stale action that handles most of this. Add it as a new workflow file in .github/workflows/
