| # Daily refresh of the Hacktoberfest 2026 open-PR cleanup tracker. | |
| # Ticks off any tracked pull request that has since been merged/closed, and | |
| # rewrites the "Automated statistics" section (open issue/PR counts + the top | |
| # three `awaiting reviews` directories). The job fails on purpose once | |
| # Hacktoberfest 2026 has begun (>= 2026-10-01), which is the signal to retire it. | |
