Pull request overview
This PR adds and syncs automated issue/PR template validation across Homebrew’s active public template repositories, using API-fetched trusted code (rather than checked-out PR head code) to safely enforce template completeness.
Changes:
- Introduces
check-issues.ymlandcheck-prs.ymlworkflows to comment/close and later reopen items once templates are complete. - Adds a shared Ruby
check_template.rbvalidator used by both workflows. - Updates the sync action config to distribute (or remove) the template-check workflows/script only for
Homebrew/brew,Homebrew/homebrew-core, andHomebrew/homebrew-cask.

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
- Share issue and pull request template checks across active public template repositories. - Sync `check_template.rb` with the workflows so each target repository validates templates from trusted base-branch code. - Ignore template HTML comments when checking AI disclosure. - Remove stranded template-check files from unsupported target repositories during sync. - Limit syncing to `Homebrew/brew`, `Homebrew/homebrew-core` and `Homebrew/homebrew-cask`.
