chore: Update CHANGELOG.md

* Unify issue lifecycle labeling and sweep into a single system

Consolidate issue triage, stale detection, and lifecycle enforcement into
two components: a Claude-powered triage workflow and a unified sweep script.

Triage workflow changes:
- Add issue_comment trigger so Claude can re-evaluate lifecycle labels when
  someone responds to a needs-repro/needs-info issue
- Add concurrency group per issue with cancel-in-progress to avoid pile-up
- Filter out bot comments to prevent sweep/dedupe triggering re-triage
- Hardcode allowed label whitelist to prevent label sprawl (was discovering
  labels via gh label list, leading to junk variants like 'needs repro' vs
  'needs-repro')
- Replace MCP GitHub server with gh CLI — simpler, no Docker dependency,
  chaining is caught by the action so permissions are equivalent
- Add lifecycle labels (needs-repro, needs-info) for bugs missing info
- Add invalid label for off-topic issues (Claude API, billing, etc.)
- Add anti-patterns to prevent false positives (don't require specific
  format, model behavior issues don't need traditional repro, etc.)

Sweep script changes:
- Absorb stale issue detection (was separate stale-issue-manager workflow)
- Mark issues as stale after 14 days of inactivity
- Skip assigned issues (team is working on it internally)
- Skip enhancements with 10+ thumbs up (community wants it)
- Add invalid label with 3-day timeout
- Add autoclose label support to drain 200+ legacy issues
- Drop needs-votes (stale handles inactive enhancements)
- Unify close messages into a single template with per-label reasons
- Run 2x daily instead of once

Delete stale-issue-manager.yml — its logic is now in sweep.ts.

## Test plan

Dry-run sweep locally:
GITHUB_TOKEN=$(gh auth token) GITHUB_REPOSITORY_OWNER=anthropics   GITHUB_REPOSITORY_NAME=claude-code bun run scripts/sweep.ts --dry-run

Triage workflow will be tested by opening a test issue after merge.

+            ALLOWED LABELS — you may ONLY use labels from this list. Never invent new labels.
 
-            1. First, fetch the list of labels available in this repository by running: `gh label list`. Run exactly this command with nothing else.
+            Type: bug, enhancement, question, documentation, duplicate, invalid
+            Lifecycle: needs-repro, needs-info

-            2. Next, use the GitHub tools to get context about the issue:
-               - You have access to these tools:
-                 - mcp__github__get_issue: Use this to retrieve the current issue's details including title, description, and existing labels
-                 - mcp__github__get_issue_comments: Use this to read any discussion or additional context provided in the comments
-                 - mcp__github__update_issue: Use this to apply labels to the issue (do not use this for commenting)
-                 - mcp__github__search_issues: Use this to find similar issues that might provide context for proper categorization and to identify potential duplicate issues
-                 - mcp__github__list_issues: Use this to understand patterns in how other issues are labeled
-               - Start by using mcp__github__get_issue to get the issue details
+            TOOLS:
+            - `gh issue view NUMBER`: Read the issue title, body, and labels
+            - `gh issue view NUMBER --comments`: Read the conversation
+            - `gh search issues QUERY`: Find similar or duplicate issues
+            - `gh issue edit NUMBER --add-label` / `--remove-label`: Add or remove labels
 
-            3. Analyze the issue content, considering:
-               - The issue title and description
-               - The type of issue (bug report, feature request, question, etc.)
-               - Technical areas mentioned
-               - Severity or priority indicators
-               - User impact
-               - Components affected
+            TASK:
 
-            4. Select appropriate labels from the available labels list provided above:
-               - Choose labels that accurately reflect the issue's nature
-               - Be specific but comprehensive
-               - Select priority labels if you can determine urgency (high-priority, med-priority, or low-priority)
-               - Consider platform labels (android, ios) if applicable
-               - If you find similar issues using mcp__github__search_issues, consider using a "duplicate" label if appropriate. Only do so if the issue is a duplicate of another OPEN issue.
+            1. Run `gh issue view ${{ github.event.issue.number }}` to read the issue details.
+            2. Run `gh issue view ${{ github.event.issue.number }} --comments` to read the conversation.
 
-            5. Apply the selected labels:
-               - Use mcp__github__update_issue to apply your selected labels
-               - DO NOT post any comments explaining your decision
-               - DO NOT communicate directly with users
-               - If no labels are clearly applicable, do not apply any labels
+            **If EVENT is "issues" (new issue):**
 
-            IMPORTANT GUIDELINES:
-            - Be thorough in your analysis
-            - Only select labels from the provided list above
+            3. First, check if this issue is actually about Claude Code (the CLI/IDE tool). Issues about the Claude API, claude.ai, the Claude app, Anthropic billing, or other Anthropic products should be labeled `invalid`. If invalid, apply only that label and stop.
+
+            4. Analyze and apply category labels:
+               - Type (bug, enhancement, question, etc.)
+               - Technical areas and platform
+               - Check for duplicates with `gh search issues`. Only mark as duplicate of OPEN issues.
+
+            5. Evaluate lifecycle labels:
+               - `needs-repro` (bugs only, 7 days): Bug reports without clear steps to reproduce. A good repro has specific, followable steps that someone else could use to see the same issue.
+                 Do NOT apply if the user already provided error messages, logs, file paths, or a description of what they did. Don't require a specific format — narrative descriptions count.
+                 For model behavior issues (e.g. "Claude does X when it should do Y"), don't require traditional repro steps — examples and patterns are sufficient.
+               - `needs-info` (bugs only, 7 days): The issue needs something from the community before it can progress — e.g. error messages, versions, environment details, or answers to follow-up questions. Don't apply to questions or enhancements.
+                 Do NOT apply if the user already provided version, environment, and error details. If the issue just needs engineering investigation, that's not `needs-info`.
+
+               Issues with these labels are automatically closed after the timeout if there's no response.
+               The goal is to avoid issues lingering without a clear next step.
+
+            6. Apply all selected labels:
+               `gh issue edit ${{ github.event.issue.number }} --add-label "label1" --add-label "label2"`
+
+            **If EVENT is "issue_comment" (comment on existing issue):**
+
+            3. Evaluate lifecycle labels based on the full conversation:
+               - If the issue has `needs-repro` or `needs-info` and the missing information has now been provided, remove the label:
+                 `gh issue edit ${{ github.event.issue.number }} --remove-label "needs-repro"`
+               - If the issue doesn't have lifecycle labels but clearly needs them (e.g., a maintainer asked for repro steps or more details), add the appropriate label.
+               - Comments like "+1", "me too", "same here", or emoji reactions are NOT the missing information. Only remove labels when substantive details are actually provided.
+               - Do NOT add or remove category labels (bug, enhancement, etc.) on comment events.
+
+            GUIDELINES:
+            - ONLY use labels from the ALLOWED LABELS list above — never create or guess label names
             - DO NOT post any comments to the issue
-            - Your ONLY action should be to apply labels using mcp__github__update_issue
+            - Be conservative with lifecycle labels — only apply when clearly warranted
+            - Only apply lifecycle labels (`needs-repro`, `needs-info`) to bugs — never to questions or enhancements
+            - When in doubt, don't apply a lifecycle label — false positives are worse than missing labels
             - It's okay to not add any labels if none are clearly applicable

+# Settings Examples
+
+Example Claude Code settings files, primarily intended for organization-wide deployments. Use these are starting points — adjust them to fit your needs.
+
+These may be applied at any level of the [settings hierarchy](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings#settings-files), though certain properties only take effect if specified in enterprise settings (e.g. `strictKnownMarketplaces`, `allowManagedHooksOnly`, `allowManagedPermissionRulesOnly`).
+
+
+## Configuration Examples
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> These examples are community-maintained snippets which may be unsupported or incorrect. You are responsible for the correctness of your own settings configuration.
+
+| Setting | [`settings-lax.json`](./settings-lax.json) | [`settings-strict.json`](./settings-strict.json) | [`settings-bash-sandbox.json`](./settings-bash-sandbox.json) |
+|---------|:---:|:---:|:---:|
+| Disable `--dangerously-skip-permissions` | ✅ | ✅ | |
+| Block plugin marketplaces | ✅ | ✅ | |
+| Block user and project-defined permission `allow` / `ask` / `deny` | | ✅ | ✅ |
+| Block user and project-defined hooks | | ✅ | |
+| Deny web fetch and search tools | | ✅ | |
+| Bash tool requires approval | | ✅ | |
+| Bash tool must run inside of sandbox | | | ✅ |
+
+## Tips
+- Consider merging snippets of the above examples to reach your desired configuration
+- Settings files must be valid JSON
+- Before deploying configuration files to your organization, test them locally by applying to `managed-settings.json`, `settings.json` or `settings.local.json`
+- The `sandbox` property only applies to the `Bash` tool; it does not apply to other tools (like Read, Write, WebSearch, WebFetch, MCPs), hooks, or internal commands
+
+## Full Documentation

+See https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings for complete documentation on all available managed settings.
