26+ This issue was marked stale because it has been open 60 days with
27+ no activity. Please remove the stale label or comment on this
28+ issue. Otherwise, it will be closed in 15 days.
29+30+ As an open-source project, we rely on community contributions to
31+ address many of the reported issues. Without a proposed fix or
32+ active work towards a solution it is our policy to close inactive
33+ issues. This is documented in CONTRIBUTING.rst
34+35+ **How to keep this issue open:**
36+ * If you are still experiencing this issue and are willing to
37+ investigate a fix, please comment and let us know.
38+ * If you (or someone else) can propose a pull request with a
39+ solution, that would be fantastic.
40+ * Any significant update or active discussion indicating progress
41+ will also prevent closure.
42+43+ We value your input. If you can help provide a fix, we'd be happy
44+ to keep this issue open and support your efforts.

49+ This issue was closed because it has been marked stale for 15 days
50+ with no activity.
51+52+ This open-source project relies on community contributions, and
53+ while we value all feedback, we have a limited capacity to address
54+ every issue without a clear path forward.
55+56+ Currently, this issue hasn't received a proposed fix, and there
57+ hasn't been recent active discussion indicating someone is planning
58+ to work on it. To maintain a manageable backlog and focus our
59+ efforts, we will be closing this issue for now.
60+61+ **This doesn't mean the issue isn't valid or important.** If you or
62+ anyone else in the community is willing to investigate and propose
63+ a solution (e.g., by submitting a pull request), please do.
64+65+ We believe that those who feel a bug is important enough to fix
66+ should ideally be part of the solution. Your contributions are
67+ highly welcome.
68+69+ Thank you for your understanding and potential future
70+ contributions.
