23 of 30 repos in the fleet had none. The symptom looks like neglect and is not: aoz-housing had 100 commits in August, features landing daily, and was still on Next 14 / React 18 / Tailwind 3 — because nothing ever OPENED the upgrade PR. Version drift here is the absence of a mechanism. npm directory: /. Minor and patch grouped so the sweep spends one cycle on them; majors stay separate because they deserve reading.

botsmann is one of only three repos in the fleet whose verify runs `prettier --check .`, and prettier checks YAML too — so the new .github/dependabot.yml failed format:check while the identical file passed in the other 22 repos. Worth noting rather than just fixing: the formatter is not the odd one out here. Three of thirty repos have any formatter at all. This repo caught a real inconsistency the other twenty-seven could not have.
botsmann is one of three repos in the fleet whose verify runs `prettier --check .`, and prettier checks YAML — so the same dependabot.yml that passed in 22 other repos failed here on quote style: .prettierrc sets singleQuote, the file used double quotes. The first fix attempt ran prettier WITHOUT the repo's config and reported no changes, which looked like the file was already clean. A formatter run with default settings does not answer whether a repo's formatter is satisfied.

The symptom looks like neglect and isn't. aoz-housing had 100 commits in August — features landing daily — and was still on Next 14, React 18 and Tailwind 3. Not because nobody touched it, but because nothing ever opened the upgrade PR. Version drift here is the absence of a mechanism, not the absence of attention.
Weekly. Minor and patch are grouped into one PR so the auto-merge sweep spends one cycle on them instead of five; majors stay separate because they deserve to be read. GitHub Actions versions are watched too — that is how a
