Pull request overview

This PR updates the Dependabot configuration to reduce notification frequency and add a cooldown period as a supply chain security measure, similar to the approach taken by CPython (#141866).

Changes:

  • Reduces update check interval from weekly (every Monday) to monthly for both npm and github-actions ecosystems.
  • Adds a 14-day cooldown to both ecosystems, delaying updates for newly released packages to avoid the highest-risk window after a release (supply chain attack mitigation).
