Summary

This PR adds the missing actions: write permission to the stale job in the issue-management-stale-action.yml workflow.

Context

The actions/stale action requires the actions: write permission to delete its old cache before saving a new one. Without this permission, the action may not function properly or may encounter permission errors during execution.

Changes

Added actions: write permission to the permissions block of the stale job in .github/workflows/issue-management-stale-action.yml:

stale:
  permissions:
    contents: read
    actions: write  # because actions/stale deletes its old cache before saving new one
    issues: write  # for actions/stale to close stale issues
    pull-requests: write  # for actions/stale to close stale PRs

The permission is positioned after contents: read and before issues: write and pull-requests: write, following the standard ordering convention. A trailing comment has been added to match the style of the existing permission comments.

Fixes #[issue_number]

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Add missing actions/stale permission</issue_title>
<issue_description>Check if any workflow jobs are using actions/stale.

If so, make sure that the permissions block for that job contains

actions: write

If any of the other permissions lines have trailing comments, then add a trailing comment for this one too:

actions: write # because actions/stale deletes its old cache before saving new one

Place this new permission in a specific order within the permissions, directly before both:

issues: write
pull-requests: write

(which implicitly means after contents: read)</issue_description>
