Summary

Dependabot now waits 7 days after a release before proposing it, for every ecosystem (cooldown.default-days: 7). GitHub's default cooldown is 3 days; the longer wait gives a broken or compromised release time to be yanked before it reaches a pull request. Security updates are not affected. Only the cooldown blocks are added; schedules, groups, limits, ignores and commit prefixes stay as they are.

The pre-commit hooks passed on the changed file; the full make target was not run, CI covers it.


Pull request checklist

  • I am targeting the master branch
  • I have rebased this branch on top of the destination branch
  • I have executed make check locally before creating the commit and it has run successfully
  • I have run make ansible-syntax-check locally and it has passed
  • Every commit message follows
    Conventional Commits with a scope
    (type(scope): subject), and its type matches whether the change ships (feat/fix only for
    what changes the playbook)
  • I have performed a self-review of my own code
  • There are no WIP commits in this PR
  • I ran the validation commands for every area touched (see the AGENTS.md validation matrix)

Type of changes

  • 🐛 Bug fix
  • ✨ New feature
  • 🔧 Refactoring
  • 📜 Docs
  • 🧰 CI / tooling / infra
  • Other (describe in Summary)

GitHub applies a 3-day cooldown by default. A week gives a broken or compromised release more time to be yanked before Dependabot proposes it. Security updates are not affected.
