Summary
Adds
.github/dependabot.ymlso this repo's pinned GitHub Action SHAsget bumped automatically once a week.
All action updates are grouped into one weekly PR (not one PR per
action) to keep the noise down, and Dependabot waits 7 days after a
release before opening the bump (cooldown). The 7-day cooldown is
aligned with the org's pinact
min_age: 7policy — so by the timethe Dependabot PR lands, the SHA is already old enough for the security
gate to accept it. The bot opens the PR; the org-wide security gate
(pinact + denylist + deny-packages + osv-scan) runs on it; a human
merges.
Why
GitHub Action SHAs that were safe when pinned can drift out of date —
missing security patches, bug fixes, or new features. Dependabot keeps
them current. Combined with the org-wide validation workflow (which
blocks compromised SHAs from landing), the bumps are safe by
construction.
