Marion Kamoike-Bouguet developed an automated workflow for the strapi/strapi repository to actively close stale issues, enhancing repository hygiene and reducing manual maintenance. Leveraging GitHub Actions and YAML, Marion transitioned the existing close_stale_issues.yml workflow from a dry-run mode to active operation, enabling the system to automatically close issues labeled 'stale-q1-q2-2024'. This approach streamlined backlog management by removing outdated issues without manual intervention, demonstrating practical application of CI/CD principles. The work focused on automation and maintainability, reflecting a targeted engineering effort to improve project workflows through infrastructure-as-code and continuous integration best practices within a live open-source environment.
