Summary
Dependabot is currently opening ~20 individual PRs per update cycle, creating significant maintenance overhead. This adds:
Expected reduction: ~20 PRs → ~7 PRs per cycle (~65% fewer).
Security updates are unaffected — they bypass cooldown and grouping, so CVE patches still get immediate, dedicated PRs.
Follows the same pattern used in strands-agents/harness-sdk.
