Pull request overview
Updates the GitHub automation script that pings stale issues/PRs so it only considers items explicitly labeled as waiting on the author, reducing unnecessary pings across the repo.
Changes:
- Filters the scan to only open issues/PRs labeled
waiting-for-author. - Renames/splits label constants into
TRIGGER_LABELandPINGED_LABEL, and updates tests accordingly. - Adjusts test helpers to default mock issues to include the trigger label (reflecting the API pre-filter).
