What

Dependabot should only open a PR when a Dependabot alert (vulnerability) can be fixed — not to keep dependencies up to date.

  • Set open-pull-requests-limit: 0 for the gradle and github-actions ecosystems in .github/dependabot.yml. This turns off routine version-update PRs. Per GitHub's docs, security-update PRs are not subject to this limit, so they are still opened for alerts.
  • Removed the groups and ignore blocks. Groups only applied to version updates, and the ignore rules (androidx.core:core-ktx > 1.16.0, okhttp3 >= 5.0.0) could otherwise suppress a security fix. If a security fix needs one of those versions, the PR will now open and may fail CI because of the AGP 8.9.2 limitation, which surfaces the vulnerability instead of hiding it.
  • The Gradle dependency graph submission workflow is unchanged; Gradle alerts depend on it.

Before / after merging

  • Make sure Dependabot security updates is enabled under Settings → Advanced Security. That is what opens the security PRs; if it is off, there will be no Dependabot PRs at all.
  • Already-open Dependabot version-update PRs are not closed automatically and need to be closed manually.

Set open-pull-requests-limit to 0 for both ecosystems so version update PRs
are no longer opened. Security update PRs are not subject to that limit and
keep being raised for Dependabot alerts.

Drop the version-update-only groups and ignore rules; the ignore rules could
otherwise suppress a security fix.

Walkthrough

The Dependabot configuration now documents its security-update behavior and sets the open-pull-request limit to zero for Gradle and GitHub Actions. It also removes Gradle dependency groups and version ignores.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 47f01

A future OkHttp security update requiring 5.5.0 could be opened but fail the Android checks until the project supports compileSdk 37. No such update is currently established, so the risk is bounded.

CodeQL Analyze (java-kotlin) and SonarCloud are red here because of main, not because of this change (which only touches .github/dependabot.yml). main has not built since the AGP 9.4.1 bump, so both checks fail at Gradle configuration on main as well (head 3397a9e).

The fix is in #92, where every check is green. Once it lands I'll merge main into this branch so these checks re-run.
