What changed

  • Ignore npm semantic-version major updates by default while leaving security updates unaffected.
  • Group development dependency minor and patch updates only.
  • Reduce the npm version-update PR limit from 10 to 5.
  • Group GitHub Actions minor and patch updates.

Why

The initial Dependabot run mixed incompatible React, Vite, TypeScript, and Babel major upgrades across this pnpm monorepo. That created noisy PRs and broke the intentional React 18/19 compatibility matrix.

Validation

  • Parsed .github/dependabot.yml as YAML
  • Asserted the global major-update ignore and PR limit
  • Ran git diff --check

Privacy and compatibility

No runtime, production bundle, observed data, or package API changes.

P1 Badge Do not suppress major security updates

When an npm advisory can only be remediated by crossing a major-version boundary, this wildcard ignore condition also excludes that version from Dependabot's security-update job, so no remediation PR will be opened despite the commit's stated goal of leaving security updates unaffected. Dependabot's ignore rules are not scoped only to scheduled version updates; remove this global rule or enforce the routine-major policy through a mechanism that distinguishes version updates from security updates.
