7 days should be enough when most malicious packages are patched within 24 hours.

Pull Request Overview

This PR attempts to implement a 7-day delay for Dependabot updates to mitigate risks from malicious packages. However, the implementation is currently non-functional because it uses an invalid configuration key (cooldown).

GitHub Dependabot does not natively support a 'cooldown' or 'delay' parameter in the dependabot.yml schema. Applying this change will result in a validation error within the repository's Dependabot dashboard, and the setting will be ignored, meaning the PR fails to meet its primary security objective.

About this PR

  • GitHub Dependabot does not natively support a 'cooldown' or 'delay' feature in the configuration file. This implementation will likely cause a validation error in the GitHub repository's Dependabot dashboard and the setting will be ignored, failing to provide the intended security buffer.

Test suggestions

  • Verify that the .github/dependabot.yml file adheres to the official GitHub Dependabot configuration schema.
