Clear stuck claude-triaging labels #74

name: Clear stuck claude-triaging labels
# Removes the `claude-triaging` lifecycle label from issues where it's been
# applied for >30 minutes. The label is the "I'm on this" signal for the
# triage routine; under normal flow the routine swaps it for `claude-triaged`
# at the end of the run (1-3 min). Anything older means the routine errored
# mid-run and orphaned the label.
#
# Without this sweep, orphaned `claude-triaging` labels stay forever and
# poison the "is anyone working on this?" signal for humans.
