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:

• Add labels: ["type: dependencies"] to every updates entry (6: pip, github-actions, three docker entries, helm).
• Remove target-branch: dev from every entry (6 entries). dev is the default branch, so version updates still target it.
• Add a comment that explains why no entry sets target-branch, so that it isn't added again.
• Keep the ignore rules. They now also apply to security updates: the major-version holds on connexion (build: add support for Connexion 3+ #188) and gunicorn, the holds on minor and major updates of the python images and of the chart images, and the skipped example root images and foca-common. That's intended.

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

Closes #775

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).

Declined review findings

• Sourcery: the ignore rules now suppress security updates in held ranges. Intended (see above): those updates need hand-made changes, and Dependabot alerts, code scanning and the CI image scan still surface the advisories.
• Sourcery: version updates would target main instead of dev. Not so: dev is the default branch, which Dependabot targets without target-branch.

Reviewer's Guide

Configuration

Add the organisation’s dependency label to every Dependabot update entry and remove the default-branch target so the entry options also apply to security updates.

#775 ci: let Dependabot label all its pull requests · 3 of 4 met · 1 to check by hand

#	Requirement	Status	Notes
1	No entry or group sets target-branch.	✅ Met
2	Every updates entry sets labels: ["type: dependencies"].	✅ Met	All six entries set the requested label.
3	Nothing else in the file changes, apart from the comment.	✅ Met	The diff removes target-branch, adds the labels, and adds the explanatory comment; the other configuration is unchanged.
4	Dependabot pull requests opened afterwards, security updates included, carry only type: dependencies.	👀 Check by hand (runtime)	Check real Dependabot version and security update pull requests after the change to confirm they carry only type: dependencies.

**Security fixes stay blocked**

When a security advisory’s patched version requires an ignored major or minor update, an attacker can exploit a vulnerable dependency when its advisory’s patched version falls in an ignored major/minor range: Dependabot now applies these `ignore` rules to security updates and opens no remediation PR, so the vulnerable version remains in use.

Keep security fixes eligible despite version-update holds, or add an explicit process to surface and remediate advisories for dependencies covered by these ignores.

Also at `.github/dependabot.yml:69`, `.github/dependabot.yml:106`.

**Dependency updates bypass development checks**

When dependabot opens a version-update PR, dependabot targets `main` instead of `dev`, while CI only runs pull-request checks targeting `dev`, so the updates receive no expected CI checks and bypass the development-branch integration checks.

Set the Dependabot target branch to `dev` for these entries.

Also at `.github/dependabot.yml:14`, `.github/dependabot.yml:58`, `.github/dependabot.yml:69`, `.github/dependabot.yml:84`, `.github/dependabot.yml:93`, `.github/dependabot.yml:106`.

Sourcery assessment

Needs a human reviewer. 2 findings to address first, and if the label configuration is wrong, Dependabot will add the label to generated pull requests, including security-update PRs. Reverting stops future labels but leaves labels on existing PRs; those can be removed manually, and the change does not alter the dependency updates themselves.

Blocking findings: .github/dependabot.yml:25, .github/dependabot.yml:25
