Summary of Changes

Hello @felixpalmer, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request aims to optimize the dependency update workflow by instructing Dependabot to disregard patch-level version updates. The primary goal is to decrease notification fatigue and allow maintainers to focus on more impactful dependency changes, such as minor and major version bumps, without being overwhelmed by frequent, small updates.

Highlights

• Dependabot Configuration: Configured Dependabot to ignore all patch version updates across all dependencies.
• Notification Reduction: Implemented a change to significantly reduce the number of Dependabot pull requests and notifications by filtering out minor, non-breaking updates.

Code Review

This pull request aims to reduce notifications from Dependabot by ignoring all patch-level updates. While this will reduce the number of pull requests, it introduces a critical security risk. The proposed configuration will cause Dependabot to ignore security fixes that are released as patch versions, potentially leaving the project exposed to known vulnerabilities. I have added a critical comment explaining the risk and recommending the removal of this change.

This change introduces a significant security risk. By ignoring all patch-level updates (version-update:semver-patch) for all dependencies (*), you will also be ignoring security updates that are released as patch versions. The Dependabot documentation states that ignore rules apply to both version updates and security updates. This could leave your project vulnerable to known exploits.

It is highly recommended to remove this configuration. If the goal is to reduce the number of pull requests from Dependabot, consider using update grouping instead to combine multiple updates into a single pull request.
