Adds three ecosystem blocks so Dependabot also tracks: - Top-level Dockerfile base image - .devcontainer/Dockerfile base image - Devcontainer features in .devcontainer/devcontainer.json Weekly cadence to avoid PR churn; labels keep these distinguishable from gomod/actions PRs.

dockerecosystem entry for/.devcontainer/Dockerfileon a weekly schedule with devcontainer-related labeling. - Add a

Problem
.github/dependabot.ymltracksgomodandgithub-actionsbut not:Dockerfile(release image base).devcontainer/Dockerfile(developer environment base).devcontainer/devcontainer.jsonfeaturesSo base image and devcontainer feature updates are invisible to Dependabot.
Changes
Adds three ecosystem blocks:
docker/dockerdocker/.devcontainerdocker,devcontainerdevcontainers/devcontainerWeekly (not daily) to avoid PR churn on slow-moving base images. All use the existing
deps:/ci:commit prefixes so release-please continues to classify them correctly.Notes
toolchaindirective ingo.modis still not covered (Dependabot product gap, dependabot-core#8454). That bump remains manual.
