Summary of Changes

Hello @Harvester57, 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 refines the automated dependency update strategy by configuring Dependabot to be more conservative with Python dependency updates. The intent is to reduce potential breaking changes by only allowing minor and patch version bumps to be automatically proposed, while major version updates will require manual intervention.

Highlights

• Dependabot Configuration: I've updated the .github/dependabot.yml file to specify update-types for both pip-dev-dependencies and pip-prod-dependencies. This change limits Dependabot to only propose pull requests for minor and patch version updates, preventing automatic major version upgrades.

Code Review

This pull request updates the dependabot.yml configuration to limit dependency updates to minor and patch versions for pip dependencies.

My review points out a potential issue with the chosen implementation. Using update-types within a dependency group will still allow pull requests for major versions to be created individually, which may not be the intended behavior. I've suggested an alternative approach using a global ignore rule to suppress major version updates entirely, which is likely the desired outcome and results in a cleaner configuration.

[gemini-code-assist]

Using update-types within a group will filter which updates are included in the grouped pull request, but it will not prevent Dependabot from creating separate PRs for updates that don't match (i.e., major version updates).

If your goal is to completely stop receiving PRs for major version updates, the recommended approach is to use a top-level ignore rule for the pip package ecosystem. This would apply to all pip dependencies.

Here is an example of how you could configure this:

- package-ecosystem: "pip"
  directory: "/"
  # ... other settings ...
  ignore:
    - dependency-name: "*"
      update-types: ["version-update:semver-major"]
  groups:
    pip-dev-dependencies:
      dependency-type: "development"
      patterns: ["*"]
    pip-prod-dependencies:
      dependency-type: "production"
      patterns: ["*"]

With this setup, you would remove the update-types sections you've added here from the groups, as the ignore rule would handle blocking major updates for you globally.
