[FEATURE] GitHub Action to auto-close issues reporting HTTP 500 errors during an outage

Preflight Checklist

Problem Statement

Not related to Claude Code directly. More of a GitHub Action for this repo. People here are opening lots of repeated issues on this repo when a Claude outage is happening, which isn't a bug in Claude Code, but an issue with the service.

Proposed Solution

Create a GitHub Action bot that automatically closes issues that include HTTP 500 error messages if there's an active outage.

Alternative Solutions

No real alternative solutions, just something to cut through the noise of issues reported because of outages that aren't related to Claude Code issues.

Priority

Low - Nice to have

Use Case Example

1. Claude starts having an outage.
2. Users start repeatedly reporting the outage here as if it's a Claude Code client bug.
3. The GitHub Action automatically checks if an API error is reported, and then checks if there's an active outage from the Atlassian StatusPage API, then closes the issue automatically with a message saying that this is an issue with the Claude API, not with Claude Code, and to check the Claude status page.

Additional Context

Repeated issues being filed: issues between 22764 and 22843

Could also create a pinned issue or update the template to indicate that 500 errors are typically caused by outages and are not a bug in Claude Code.
