ci: tag dependabot and release-please PRs with no-auto-update#124
Merged
Conversation
Label bot-generated PRs so vgv-ai-bot's Auto-update PRs feature skips them (the `no-auto-update` label is the per-PR escape hatch documented in vgv-ai-bot GETTING_STARTED.md). - dependabot: add `labels` (dependencies + no-auto-update); the `labels` key overrides dependabot defaults, so `dependencies` is listed explicitly to preserve it - release-please: add `extra-label: no-auto-update`, which appends to the default `autorelease: pending` without overriding it The `no-auto-update` repository label was also created, since Dependabot only applies custom labels that already exist.

Description
Configures the repository so every Dependabot and release-please PR is labeled
no-auto-update. Per vgv-ai-bot GETTING_STARTED.md, that label is the per-PR escape hatch for the bot's Auto-update PRs feature. Labeled PRs are skipped when the base branch moves, so bot-generated PRs won't be churned by auto-update.Changes
.github/dependabot.yaml— addlabels: [dependencies, no-auto-update]. Dependabot'slabelskey overrides its defaults, sodependenciesis listed explicitly to preserve it. (github_actionsintentionally omitted — Dependabot only auto-adds the ecosystem label when multiple ecosystems are configured; with a single ecosystem it's redundant.).release-please-config.json— add"extra-label": "no-auto-update". Unlikelabel,extra-labelappends to the defaultautorelease: pendingrather than overriding it, so release-please's own bookkeeping label is preserved.no-auto-updatelabel (Dependabot only applies custom labels that already exist; it does not create them).Reviewer notes
extra-labelis a release-please schema key (comma-separated string);labelsis not in the release-please schema and would be silently ignored.Type of Change
