chore(ci): auto-merge Dependabot patch-level bumps#42
Merged
Conversation
Add a workflow that auto-merges Dependabot PRs classified as `version-update:semver-patch`. Minor and major updates still require human review — those are the ones that realistically carry breaking-change risk (Spring 4.x, Jedis 7.x, etc.). Merge is gated by `--auto`, which waits for the repo's required status checks (CI + CodeQL) to pass before completing. Without the branch protection recently added on main, this wouldn't be safe — a failing patch bump would merge immediately. Reduces the weekly Dependabot manual-merge grind without opening a hole for anything higher-risk than a point release.

.github/workflows/dependabot-auto-merge.yml— auto-merges Dependabot PRs classified asversion-update:semver-patch. Minor and major bumps still require human review.Why
Cuts the weekly Dependabot manual-merge grind. Patch-level bumps carry vanishingly low breaking-change risk, and merge is gated by
--auto, which waits for the repo's required status checks (CI + CodeQL) to pass before completing.Safe only because branch protection on
mainwith required status checks was added recently — without it, a failing patch bump would merge immediately.Scope of auto-merge
