Subject: [PATCH] Fixes malformed string input for stale announce workflow
 (#95823)

## About The Pull Request
Fixes https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/actions/runs/24643489491
Fixes https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/actions/runs/24058690318

Storing the string as environment variable removes the need to runtime
decode the value which causes double slashes // to be decoded as a
single slash / which breaks the json string
