Improve AI issue triage prompts to detect unfilled templates
- Add explicit detection of unmodified template text and placeholders - Add detection of meaningless/spam-like titles - Add 'Invalid' assessment category for spam/test issues - Add label recommendations (waiting-for-reply, invalid) - Strengthen 'Missing Details' criteria with specific examples - Add guidance to be specific about which sections need actual content This addresses issues like #2029 where template text was not replaced with actual information but was not flagged as missing details.
