ci: rework Dependabot into two-stream (security-first langs + grouped versions)#331
Merged
Conversation
…versions) Languages (gomod, pip) → SECURITY-ONLY: open-pull-requests-limit 0 disables routine version bumps, leaving only merge-first security-advisory PRs (fix(deps), priority: high). Docker + GitHub Actions → grouped minor/patch version PRs with majors opening their own PR; github-actions also tracks security advisories. Preserves the simple-container-com/actions batch group so a major bump of our own shared-actions repo stays one PR, not ~21. Signed-off-by: Dmitrii Creed <creeed22@gmail.com>
