Pull request overview
This PR fixes a bug in the stale issue processing logic where bot comments were incorrectly being counted as user activity, preventing stale issues from being properly closed. The change updates the comment filter to exclude bot comments rather than only including user comments, ensuring that only genuine user activity prevents stale issue closure.
Key Changes
- Modified comment filtering logic to exclude bot comments instead of only including user types
- Added test coverage to verify bot comments don't prevent stale issue closure
- Updated existing test to correctly reflect bot user type

The test description 'An issue that should un-stale' contradicts the test's purpose, which is to verify that bot comments do NOT cause issues to un-stale. Consider renaming to 'An issue that should remain stale'.

Description:
I was noticing that several of the places where I had instrumented the stale action it seemed like some of the pr's were having the label's appropriately applied but the action was never coming back around and closing them after the determined stale period.
I ran a small version of this as part of a small script and saw that the output indicated that the github actions comment was a 'Bot' type.
I had previously created this change set here, #1177 but given all the changes i thought to just start a new.
