Merged
Conversation
Adds an ignore block to the `github-actions` ecosystem entry so Dependabot only opens PRs for major version bumps (e.g., `v1` → `v2`), skipping minor and patch updates.

Dependabot was opening PRs for minor and patch updates to GitHub Actions (e.g.,
MetaMask/action-is-release@v2.2.0). Since we use floating major tags (e.g.,MetaMask/action-is-release@v2), minor and patch bumps are automatically picked up and don't need separate PRs. This adds anignoreblock to skipsemver-minorandsemver-patchupdates, so Dependabot will only open PRs for major version bumps (e.g.,v2→v3).Note
Low Risk
CI automation config only; no runtime or application code changes.
Overview
Dependabot for the
github-actionsecosystem now ignores minor and patch version updates via a newignoreblock ondependency-name: '*'.PRs will only be opened for major bumps (e.g.
@v2→@v3), which matches workflows that pin floating major tags likeMetaMask/action-checkout-and-setup@v3so routine patch/minor action releases do not generate redundant upgrade PRs.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit a2c7274. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
