Dependabot npm group missing match criteria
Medium Severity
The npm-minor-patch group in .github/dependabot.yml defines only update-types and no dependency selector like patterns or dependency-type. Dependabot group rules require match criteria, so this block can fail validation and prevent expected npm grouping behavior, reducing or blocking automated dependency update flow.

Improve GH Actions and Dependabot
Note
Low Risk
CI/config-only changes with least-privilege permission tightening; low risk aside from potential workflow permission/checkout regressions.
Overview
Adds a new
.github/dependabot.ymlto automatically open weekly update PRs for GitHub Actions and npm dependencies, with grouping, labels/assignee, commit message prefixes, and a 7-day cooldown.Hardens GitHub Actions workflows by defaulting
permissionsto none and granting only job-level minimums; also disables credential persistence inactions/checkoutfor thebuild-lintworkflow.Written by Cursor Bugbot for commit afabc2f. This will update automatically on new commits. Configure here.
