Reviewer's guide (collapsed on small PRs)Reviewer's GuideUpdates the existing npm Dependabot configuration to group all dependency bumps into a single scheduled PR and apply a seven-day release cooldown, reducing lockfile conflicts while leaving existing dependency PRs and repository dependencies untouched.

What this does
Adds a
groups:key to the existingnpmupdate entry in.github/dependabot.yml, grouping all npm dependency bumps in this repo into a single Dependabot PR per scheduled run instead of one PR per package. Also adds a 7-daycooldownon newly published versions (waits before proposing a bump to a package that just shipped), matching asemgrepguardrail check that flags configs missing a cooldown.Why
Measured across the wave-av org on 2026-09-07: only 6 of 170 non-archived repos have a
dependabot.ymlat all, and of those, sdk, mcp-server, and adk had a config but nogroups:key — the smallest possible lift on a file that already exists. Org-wide, 61 of 217 open Dependabot PRs (28%) areCONFLICTINGin GitHub's mergeable-state check. Every Dependabot PR rewrites the lockfile, so unrelated single-package PRs are same-hunk-with-each-other by construction — the first one to merge invalidates the lockfile diff in all the others, and ordering can't fix that, only grouping can (bundle the bumps into one lockfile rewrite instead of N races against each other).Grouping is not a hypothesis here — it is already deployed and working in the fleet.
wave-spoke-template's Dependabot config uses this exactgroups: { <name>: { patterns: ["*"] } }shape per ecosystem/directory, and every one of its grouped PRs is clean; its only conflicting PRs predate the groups config being added. This PR models the new block directly on that reference.For this repo specifically at time of writing, one open Dependabot PR is already
CONFLICTING: #81 (ip-addressbump). That predates this change and is a separate cleanup — this PR does not touch it.What this does NOT do
Grouping is forward-looking only. It changes how future Dependabot runs open PRs; it does not retroactively merge, rebase, or de-conflict any PR that already exists. The currently open dependency PRs (#116, #81, #55, #42, #41, #40, #39, #36) are untouched by this change.

Low Risk
Config-only change to
.github/dependabot.yml; no runtime, workflow, or dependency code changes.Overview
Updates Dependabot for npm so future weekly runs open one grouped PR for all dependency bumps (
groups.npm-dependencieswith pattern*) instead of separate PRs per package, reducing lockfile merge conflicts across concurrent updates.Also adds a 7-day cooldown (
cooldown.default-days: 7) so Dependabot waits before proposing upgrades to newly published package versions.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 0d972ba. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
