Research direction

Read .github/actions/check-wip-cap/check-wip-cap.mjs and locate HOLD_LABELS matching; compare it with pr-merge's case-insensitive escalation behavior. Update the comparison so hold labels match regardless of casing, then check the action's existing tests or run its available validation. Done when differently cased hold labels are excluded from the countable WIP total.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

priority: low

Low, from the #8475 review: HOLD_LABELS in .github/actions/check-wip-cap/check-wip-cap.mjs matches label names case-sensitively, while pr-merge's escalate matches them ignoring case. A hold label added with different casing (e.g. Needs-Human) would keep a held PR in the countable WIP total. Harmless with today's lowercase defaults; compare case-insensitively to match escalate.
