chore(dependabot): automate only minors and patches - #18
Merged
Conversation
Majors are coordinated upgrades taken by hand: one unusable major (typescript 7, blocked by typescript-eslint's peer range) otherwise holds a whole group PR hostage. 0.x packages get an explicit minor guard, since for them a minor is a breaking release.

Dependabot now proposes only minor and patch updates; majors are taken by hand as coordinated upgrades.
The trigger: the weekly
development-dependenciesgroup PRs bundled three harmless patches with five majors (typescript 7.0.2, stylelint 17, eslint-plugin-unicorn 72, jasmine 6, globals 17), so the whole PR went red and nothing landed. TypeScript 7 in particular is not adoptable anywhere — the latesttypescript-eslint(8.66.0) still declarespeer typescript >=4.8.4 <6.1.0.dependency-name: "*"rule ignores every semver-major, which makes the previous per-package major ignores (astro, @astrojs/, @babel/, eslint, react, react-dom, …) redundant — removedNote: an ignore rule also suppresses a security update whose only fix is a major. Those still surface as Dependabot alerts and are handled by hand.
