ci(dependabot): comment on a major bump once, not on every push - #153
Merged
Conversation
The step had no event filter, so it ran on `synchronize` as well as `opened`, and Dependabot pushes a rebase moments after opening a pull request. Three of the five majors opened on 2026-09-01 carry the comment twice, and a long-lived pull request would collect one per rebase for as long as it stayed open. The auto-merge step above it stays on every event on purpose: `gh pr merge --auto` is idempotent, so re-running it re-arms a pull request whose auto-merge has been cleared.

The major-bump comment step has no event filter, so it runs on every push Dependabot makes to a branch it has already opened, not only when the pull request opens. Three of the five major bumps opened on Sep 1 carry the comment twice, and one left open would collect another on each rebase. This limits the step to the opening event.
Closes #152.
