What
Adds
.github/dependabot.ymlenabling weekly, grouped Dependabot version updates.Ecosystems covered: uv (python), cargo (rust), github-actions.
Why
Part of standing up the security fast-patch process (PIN-4). Keeping dependencies close to their latest patched release shrinks the diff and time needed to ship a fix when a security advisory lands. Dependabot security updates (auto patch PRs on advisories) and vulnerability alerts are already enabled on this repo; this adds the routine version-update cadence.
Minor/patch updates are grouped into a single PR per ecosystem to keep review noise low; majors come as individual PRs.
Review notes
Config only — no code changes. First run may open a batch of update PRs; that is expected. Adjust
open-pull-requests-limitorscheduleif the cadence is too noisy.Note
Low Risk
CI/dependency automation config only; no application code or runtime behavior changes.
Overview
Introduces
.github/dependabot.ymlto run weekly Dependabot version updates for uv (Python), Cargo (Rust), and GitHub Actions, complementing existing security alerts and advisory-driven updates (PIN-4).For uv and Cargo, minor and patch bumps are grouped into one PR per ecosystem (cap 10 open update PRs each). GitHub Actions updates are grouped under a single weekly PR. Major version bumps are not grouped and should still arrive as separate PRs.
