Remediation recommended

1. Over-broad grouping '*' 🐞 Bug ⛯ Reliability
Description
Dependabot groups for npm/docker/github-actions use patterns: ['*'], which will combine all
updates for each ecosystem into a single PR. This increases failure blast radius and makes it harder
to isolate which update broke CI or introduced regressions, especially given the number of npm deps
and workflow actions in this repo.
Code

.github/dependabot.yml[R10-29]

+    groups:
+      npm-dependencies:
+        patterns:
+          - "*"
  - package-ecosystem: "docker"
    directory: "/docker-image/Dockerfiles"
    schedule:
      interval: "daily"
+    groups:
+      dockerfile:
+        patterns:
+          - "*"
  - package-ecosystem: "github-actions"
    directory: "/"

Evidence
The Dependabot config explicitly groups all dependencies (pattern *) for npm, docker, and GitHub
Actions. The repo has a non-trivial set of npm dependencies/devDependencies, and the workflows
reference many third-party actions; bundling updates together increases the likelihood that at least
one update in the bundle causes CI failures and complicates pinpointing the culprit.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
Dependabot is configured to group *all* updates for npm, docker, and GitHub Actions via `patterns: ['*']`. This will produce large, multi-change PRs that are harder to review and debug when CI fails.

### Issue Context
The repository uses multiple npm dependencies and a number of third-party GitHub Actions across workflows. Grouping everything together increases the chance that at least one update causes failures and makes it harder to identify the breaking change.

### Fix Focus Areas
