Summary

Adds a cooldown block to every Dependabot update entry in .github/dependabot.yml:

  • semver-major-days: 14
  • semver-minor-days: 7
  • semver-patch-days: 3
  • default-days: 7 (for ecosystems without SemVer, e.g. GitHub Actions and git submodules)

Dependabot will wait this long after a new version is published before opening a version-update PR. This reduces the chance of pulling in a compromised or broken release before the community has time to notice.

Security updates are not delayed — Dependabot still opens those immediately.

Test plan

  • YAML loads cleanly
  • Every updates entry has the cooldown keys above
  • Dependabot config check on this PR (GitHub validates dependabot.yml automatically)
