Automatically triage issues when they are created or reopened
The Issue Triage workflow runs when issues are created or reopened to analyze content, check related items, set issue type, add labels, detect duplicates, and post structured triage reports.

The workflow reads the issue discussion, searches open and recent closed issues, and consults repository documentation when it helps clarify expected behavior or contribution requirements.
This workflow triggers automatically when issues are created or reopened—you cannot start it manually.
The workflow includes an allowed set of type, priority, duplicate, spam, and information-request labels. Ensure those labels exist in the target repository, or edit the list and priority definitions to match the repository's conventions.
After editing, run gh aw compile and commit both the Markdown workflow and its generated lock file to the default branch.
