🤖 Dependabot Auto-Merge Setup

This PR adds automated dependency management with Dependabot and safe auto-merging capabilities.

✨ What's Added

1. Auto-Merge Workflow (.github/workflows/dependabot-auto-merge.yml)

  • 🔒 Safe auto-merging: Only merges patch and minor version updates
  • ⚠️ Manual review required: Major version updates need human approval
  • Test-gated: Waits for all tests to pass before merging
  • 📝 Informative comments: Adds status updates and warnings to PRs

2. Dependabot Configuration (.github/dependabot.yml)

  • 📦 Ruby dependencies: Weekly Bundler updates
  • 🔧 GitHub Actions: Weekly workflow updates
  • 🏷️ Organized: Proper labels, assignees, and commit conventions
  • 📅 Scheduled: Monday mornings to avoid weekend disruptions

🛡️ Safety Features

  • Conservative approach: Only auto-merges low-risk updates (patch/minor)
  • Test requirements: All CI checks must pass before merge
  • Human oversight: Major updates always require manual review
  • Full audit trail: Comments and notifications for transparency

🔄 How It Works

  1. Dependabot opens PR → Workflow triggers
  2. Tests run automatically → Workflow waits for completion
  3. Tests pass?
    • Patch/Minor: Auto-merge enabled
    • ⚠️ Major: Comment added, manual review required
  4. Tests fail? → No merge, manual intervention needed

📋 Configuration Details

  • Update frequency: Weekly (Mondays at 9:00 AM)
  • PR limits: 10 for Ruby deps, 5 for GitHub Actions
  • Labels: dependencies, ruby, github-actions
  • Commit prefixes: chore: for gems, ci: for actions
  • Assignee: @JaclynCodes

This setup will help keep dependencies up-to-date while maintaining code quality and security standards.
