Walkthrough

Adds a new GitHub Actions workflow that runs on pushes to Lib/** or manual dispatch, clones RustPython and CPython with sparse-checkout, runs a Python-based scripts/update_lib todo update, and edits a specified GitHub issue with the generated body.

Poem

🐰 I hopped through repos, clipped and neat,
Wrote a body, ran the script on repeat,
An issue updated with a cheerful thump—
Libraries tracked with a joyful jump! ✨

9-9: Consider adding workflow_dispatch inputs for flexibility.

The linked issue (#7061) mentions supporting configurable target issue ID and CPython version as workflow inputs. Adding optional inputs with defaults matching the current env vars would let maintainers trigger ad-hoc runs against a different issue or version without a code change.

Suggested change

   workflow_dispatch:
+    inputs:
+      python_version:
+        description: "CPython tag to compare against"
+        required: false
+        default: "v3.14.3"
+      issue_id:
+        description: "GitHub issue number to update"
+        required: false
+        default: "6839"

Then reference them as:

env:
  PYTHON_VERSION: ${{ inputs.python_version || 'v3.14.3' }}
  ISSUE_ID: ${{ inputs.issue_id || '6839' }}

43-47: Timezone is implicit — fine for display, just noting it's UTC.

GitHub Actions runners default to UTC. If the displayed timestamp should be explicit, you could use date -u or append UTC, but this is a nit.

---

81-82: No setup-python action — relies on system Python.

The ubuntu-latest runner ships Python 3.x, but its version can change when GitHub updates the image. If scripts/update_lib requires a specific minimum Python version or you want reproducibility, consider adding actions/setup-python. Otherwise this is fine for simplicity. Based on learnings, the maintainer prefers keeping workflows simple.
