Adds dependency automation. Two files, no code changes.

.github/dependabot.yml

  • pip updates grouped into one weekly PR per ecosystem, rather than one per package
  • GitHub Actions updates monthly
  • security updates still arrive immediately, outside the schedule

.github/workflows/dependabot-auto.yml

  • patch and minor Dependabot PRs enable auto-merge once required checks pass
  • major bumps get a comment and wait for a maintainer

Worth a look before merging: routine bumps would land without anyone reading them, with CI as the check. If you would rather keep a person in the loop, drop the second file and keep the grouping, which still cuts the PR noise a lot.

Groups updates into one weekly pull request per ecosystem instead of one per package, and lets patch and minor bumps merge once CI passes. Major bumps get a comment and wait for a maintainer.
