[deep-report] Auto-close stale [aw] workflow failure issues older than 3 days #27380

@github-actions

Description

@github-actions

144 [aw] ... failed issues were opened in the past 7 days. Many of these represent transient failures (rate limits, flaky runners, temporary API outages) that resolved on their own. Leaving them open creates tracker congestion, makes it harder to spot genuine regressions, and inflates the open-issue count (currently 48 open). The [aw] failure label pattern is well-defined, making auto-triage straightforward.

An agent should: (1) list all open [aw] ... failed issues older than 3 days, (2) check if the corresponding workflow has since run successfully (indicating the failure was transient), and (3) close those issues with a not_planned resolution and a comment explaining the auto-close rationale. Issues for workflows still failing (e.g., Codex 401, GPU runner) should be left open.

Expected Impact: Expected to close 60–90 stale failure issues, reducing open issue count by ~40% and making the tracker actionable again.

Suggested Agent: Auto-Triage Issues (existing agent, extend its scope) or a new dedicated cleanup agent

Estimated Effort: Quick (< 1 hour) — primarily GitHub API list + close calls with lightweight logic.
