Changes

Configure grouped Dependabot version updates for tracked manifests in this repository.

  • composer (/) · composer-production, composer-development
  • github-actions (/) · github-actions

Validation

  • Parsed and round-tripped Dependabot YAML v2 against the current default-branch manifests.
  • Checked ecosystem directories and reviewed the published file list.
  • Existing registry, security-update, target-branch and ignore policies remain configured.

Dependabot reads the configuration after it lands on the default branch.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Grouped automated dependency updates by ecosystem and dependency type.
    • Added a changelog entry describing the grouped updates.

Dependabot configuration now groups Composer production and development updates separately and groups GitHub Actions updates together. All groups match all dependencies. The continuous-integration label remains configured, and a changelog entry describes the update grouping.

Changes: Dependabot update grouping

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update groups and changelog entry
.github/dependabot.yml, .changelog/group-dependabot-updates.md
Composer updates have separate production and development groups, each matching all dependencies. GitHub Actions updates have a group that matches all dependencies. The existing continuous-integration label remains configured. The changelog describes grouping updates by ecosystem and dependency type.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: Low · up to e8130

A conflicting grouped update may need manual resolution before its dependencies can land. This is a bounded merge risk, but the changelog workflow should be corrected.

I’m a rabbit with a changelog to write,
Composer groups are sorted just right.
Actions updates hop in a queue,
Each group gathers dependencies too.
I nibble a carrot and bound out of sight.

Allow Dependabot to rebase grouped PRs after fragment creation.

The changelog workflow adds a commit without a Dependabot skip marker. If the grouped PR conflicts with the base branch, Dependabot will not rebase it automatically, which can block all updates in that PR.

Update the changelog workflow to allow rebases while preserving reviewed fragment changes.

The existing Changelog caller already runs the shared changelog.yml@v0 lifecycle and this PR leaves that caller and Dependabot’s rebase strategy intact. The suggested behavior would change how the shared workflow authors fragments across all consumers. That needs its own compatibility test for both grouped and individual updates. I’m leaving this thread open for that follow-up.

@coisa That makes sense. The follow-up can test automatic rebasing after fragment creation for both grouped and individual updates, including preservation of reviewed fragment changes.

Would you like me to open a GitHub issue for the follow-up?
