 ## [Unreleased]
 
 ### Added
-
+- Phase 2 of the inactivity-unassign bot:Automatically detects stale open pull requests (no commit activity for 21+ days), comments with a helpful InactivityBot message, closes the stale PR, and unassigns the contributor from the linked issue.
 - Added **str**() to CustomFixedFee and updated examples and tests accordingly.
 - Added a github template for good first issues
 - Added `.github/workflows/bot-assignment-check.yml` to limit non-maintainers to 2 concurrent issue assignments.
