chore: drop Dependabot version-update config for security-only policy#228
Merged
Conversation
Remove .github/dependabot.yml so Dependabot no longer opens weekly version-bump PRs across the Go modules and GitHub Actions. CVE coverage is retained via Dependabot *security* updates, which are controlled by the repo security settings, not this file.

What
Remove
.github/dependabot.yml, switching the repo to a security-onlyDependabot policy.
Why
The weekly version-update scans (5 Go module dirs + GitHub Actions) generate a
steady stream of routine bump PRs that require manual review/verify each week.
We want to keep CVE coverage without the routine noise.
file — removing it stops them.
settings toggle, independent of this file, and are unaffected by this change.
Follow-up (repo admin, web UI)
Confirm Settings → Code security → Dependabot security updates is enabled so
vulnerability patches keep flowing. (The scoped CI token cannot read or change
that setting.)
Note
CI-config-only change — no buildable code touched, so
just verify(cpworkerbuild + Go tests) is not applicable here.
