Dependabot PRs should not be blocked by the code freeze workflow since they are routine dependency updates that don't carry the same risk as feature work.
Changes
github.event.pull_request.user.login != 'dependabot[bot]'andgithub.event.issue.user.login != 'dependabot[bot]'conditions to the "Block pull request" step/thawto unblock previously-frozen dependabot PRs: Added a new step that dismisses the blocking review when/thawis commented on a dependabot PR during active freeze, instead of showing the "sorry, code freeze is still in place" messageThis handles both the forward-looking case (new dependabot PRs won't be frozen) and the backward-compatible case (existing dependabot PRs that were frozen before this change can be thawed with
/thaw).
