Fix: Increase tolerance in isDateMoreRecentThan to 30s

[shamoon]

Description:

This increases the "tolerance" of checking updated_at vs. markedStaleOn from 15 to 30 seconds. See linked thread but for us recently stalebot has been marking issues stale and then un-marking them because of its own actions, seemingly just because the timestamps are > 15s:

  [#11353] Found this pull request last updated at: 2025-12-23T03:32:45Z
  ...
  [#11353] Pull request marked stale on: 2025-12-23T03:32:17Z

  ...
  [#11353] Pull request has been updated since it was marked stale: true
  [#11353] Pull request has been commented on: false
  [#11353] Remove the stale label since the pull request has been updated and the workflow should remove the stale label when updated

Of course I do not know exactly what the ideal tolerance would be but 30 seconds seems relatively as "safe" as 15. Nor do I know the underlying reason the tolerance is no longer sufficient, perhaps there has been drift in the GH API over time.

Of course alternatively this could be made configurable, but Im not sure how widespread this really is to warrant that.

Related issue:
See #1184 (it would close this in my case but Im not 100% certain if OP there has the same exact cause).

Pull request overview

This PR addresses an issue where the stale bot incorrectly un-marks issues/PRs as stale immediately after marking them stale due to timestamp comparison discrepancies between updated_at and markedStaleOn timestamps.

Key changes:

• Increases the tolerance for date comparison in isDateMoreRecentThan from 15 seconds to 30 seconds
• Updates associated comments to reflect the new 30-second tolerance value

I also verified that there are no events in between these two timestamps:

Happy to close this in favor of #1311 depending on wishes of the maintainers. Sorry for all the noise!
