Summary
Reduces how many version-update PRs Dependabot opens without weakening security updates.
Closes #52
weekly→monthlyfor Go, npm and GitHub Actions.go-minor-patch,npm-minor-patch,actions-minor-patch). Major updates keep their own PR. This also keeps the CodeQLinit,autobuildandanalyzebumps together; today they arrive split (chore(ci): bump github/codeql-action/autobuild from 3.36.2 to 4.36.2 #35–chore(ci): bump github/codeql-action/analyze from 3.36.2 to 4.36.2 #37) and each one fails CI alone.dependencies,javascript,goandgithub-actionsnow exist in the repo, created alongside this PR. This stops the "labels could not be found" comments on Dependabot PRs.Architecture summary
Only
.github/dependabot.ymlchanges. There is no application code, CI workflow or Docker change.Security considerations
Security updates are unaffected. According to the Dependabot options reference:
update-typesonly affects version updates, not security updates.Dependabot security updates are enabled for the repo, so security PRs still open as soon as an advisory is known. The cooldown also lowers the risk of picking up a broken or malicious release in its first days.
Testing evidence
git diff --checkis clean.Known limitations
node:24,golang:1.26,postgres:16) aren't managed by Dependabot and stay pinned to the versions chosen in the Dockerfiles and Compose file.Follow-up issues
