Groups Dependabot's security-advisory PRs, which the existing config does not cover.

A groups entry without applies-to defaults to version-updates only. So while minor/patch version updates have been arriving grouped since the last PR merged, security advisories still open one PR per advisory. This adds a second group per ecosystem that sets applies-to: security-updates.

Notes

  • The security groups use patterns: ["*"], so they include major bumps. That is deliberate — declining a security fix on the grounds that it is a major version bump is not a real option.
  • This only affects PRs opened from the merge onward. Security PRs already open are not retroactively grouped and still need merging or closing by hand.
  • Cooldown is untouched. Security updates are driven by Dependabot alerts, so urgent fixes are not delayed by the version-update schedule.

A groups entry without applies-to covers version updates only, so security
advisories were still arriving one PR per advisory. This adds a *-security
group per ecosystem that sets applies-to: security-updates.

The security groups match all patterns and so include major bumps, since
declining a security fix because it is a major is not a real option.

Superseded by the Dependabot consolidation, now merged on the default branch.

That config already includes a <ecosystem>-security group with applies-to: security-updates for every ecosystem in this repo — the exact change this PR proposed. Verified against the live config rather than assumed.

This PR is also based on the pre-consolidation file, so it would conflict rather than apply cleanly.

The reasoning it documented is preserved in the new config's header comments, including the point that a group without applies-to: security-updates covers version updates only, which would leave advisories arriving one PR per advisory.
