Adds a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow that runs daily to close open PRs whose head branch matches a test-release-staging-* prefix and have been open for more than 7 days, then immediately deletes the branch. Also removes orphaned staging branches with no associated open PR. PRs are matched by head branch name only — never by title — so manually opened PRs are never affected. Covers both the main and v4-lts release pipelines since both use the same test-release-staging-<BuildId> naming convention. Branch prefix is driven by the TEST_BRANCH_PREFIXES repository variable (Settings → Actions → Variables) with a hardcoded fallback default, so naming conventions can be updated without a code change. Supports manual dry-run via workflow_dispatch. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
Adds a pull_request trigger scoped to changes to this workflow file. When triggered by a PR, DRY_RUN is forced to true so the workflow validates detection logic without modifying any branches or PRs. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Pull request overview
Adds a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow to automatically close and delete stale “test release” PRs/branches created by the release pipeline, and to remove orphaned staging branches with no associated open PR.
Changes:
- Introduces a daily (and manually-dispatchable) cleanup workflow with a dry-run mode.
- Closes stale PRs whose head branch matches configured test-release prefixes and deletes their branches.
- Deletes stale orphaned branches matching the same prefixes.
- Filter PRs by PR author (msal-js-release-automation), head repository (must match this repo), in addition to head branch prefix — prevents accidental closure of manually opened or fork PRs - Add TEST_PR_AUTHOR repo variable (default: msal-js-release-automation) so the author guard can be updated without a code change - Add set -euo pipefail to both run steps so auth/API failures fail fast instead of silently skipping cleanup - Use committer.date instead of author.date for branch staleness checks to avoid false-positives from cherry-picks with old author dates - URL-encode branch names before interpolating into GitHub API paths to handle branches containing forward slashes Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
