Summary

Lets Dependabot label all its pull requests, security updates included, with the organisation's label type: dependencies only, instead of its own labels (dependencies plus an ecosystem label).

In .github/dependabot.yml:

  • Remove target-branch: main from every entry (2 entries). main is the default branch, so version updates still target it.
  • Replace the header comment about target-branch with one that explains why no entry sets it.
  • There are no ignore rules, so security updates change only in their labels.

Nothing else changes: compared as data (keys sorted), the new file equals the old one minus target-branch plus labels on every entry.

Closes #145

Light lane: CI configuration only (Dependabot), no secrets, permissions or release workflow touched, so the reviewer subagents were skipped; I reviewed the diff myself.

Verification

  • yq parses the new .github/dependabot.yml; every updates entry has labels: ["type: dependencies"]; no target-branch is left.
  • Semantic diff against the default branch (yq -o=json 'sort_keys(..)'): only the intended change.
  • CI: all checks pass (CI passed green).

Summary by Sourcery

Ensure all Dependabot pull requests receive the organization’s dependency label and use the default branch configuration.

Enhancements:

  • Configure all Dependabot update entries to use the organization’s type: dependencies label, including security updates.
  • Remove redundant target-branch settings so Dependabot uses the default branch and applies entry-specific options consistently.

Remove `target-branch` from every Dependabot entry: it names the default
branch anyway, and while it is set, GitHub doesn't apply an entry's
options, labels included, to security updates. Security update pull
requests then get `type: dependencies` instead of Dependabot's own
labels. The `ignore` rules now also apply to security updates, as
intended.

Reviewer's Guide

Configuration

Remove target-branch: main and update the comment so Dependabot applies each entry’s labels to security updates while version updates still target the default branch.

# Requirement Status Notes
1 No entry or group sets target-branch. ✅ Met Neither update entry nor its groups set target-branch.
2 Every updates entry sets labels: ["type: dependencies"]. ✅ Met Both update entries have the required label.
3 Nothing else in the file changes, apart from the comment. ✅ Met The diff removes the two requested target-branch settings and updates the header comment; it shows no other changes.
4 Dependabot pull requests opened afterwards, including security updates, carry only type: dependencies. 👀 Check by hand (external system) After merging, check that Dependabot-created version and security update pull requests carry only the type: dependencies label.
