Dependabot version-update pull requests continue to use the three-day cooldown built into Dependabot, without repository-specific configuration that duplicates the default. ## Changed: Cooldown configuration GitHub Actions and Python dependency updates continue to run at `0 9 * * 1,3,5` in `Europe/Oslo` with their existing labels, and each dependency update remains an independent pull request. --- <details> <summary>Technical details</summary> - Removed the explicit `cooldown.default-days: 3` mappings and their inline Zizmor suppressions from `.github/dependabot.yml`; Dependabot's documented default preserves the same version-update behavior. - Added `.github/linters/zizmor.yaml` to disable only `dependabot-cooldown`: Zizmor 1.25.2 requires an explicit cooldown mapping even when configured with a three-day threshold, so it cannot represent Dependabot's equivalent implicit default. Super-Linter invokes this configuration path directly. - Documented the three-day default and the reason version updates wait in the dependency-update requirement and design and in the GitHub Actions standard. Security updates continue to bypass the cooldown. - Validation: strict offline Zizmor collection using Super-Linter's configuration path for the Dependabot file and the full repository reports no findings; YAML parsing confirms the two update entries retain their schedules and labels and contain neither cooldown nor grouping configuration; documentation-index and link verification, Zensical build, and all 87 Pester tests pass. - Implementation plan progress: all six steps in #173 are complete. - The topic branch is named `remove-dependabot-cooldown` rather than `<type>/<issue>-<slug>` because the required one-time session rename occurred before the delivery Task existed; the Copilot app cannot rename it again or retain a slash. - Issue convergence sweep: searched open MSXOrg/docs issues for `cooldown`; #173 is the only delivery issue fully satisfied by this diff. | Changed surface | Standards checked | Framework docs checked | Result | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `.github/dependabot.yml` | Dependabot scheduling, labels, and independent-update configuration | Dependency Updates design | Aligned | | `.github/linters/zizmor.yaml` | Zizmor rule configuration and Super-Linter configuration path | None (no framework-specific docs) | Aligned | | `src/docs/Capabilities/dependency-updates/**` | Markdown; Dependency Updates spec and design | Dependency Updates capability | Fixed in this PR | | `src/docs/Coding-Standards/GitHub-Actions.md` | Markdown; GitHub Actions standard | Dependency Updates capability | Fixed in this PR | </details> <details> <summary>Relevant issues (or links)</summary> - Resolves #173 ### Related work - References #168 </details> --------- Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Dependency updates now arrive as separate pull requests, making each update independently reviewable and releasable. Dependabot checks run at 09:00 Europe/Oslo on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and version updates wait three days after release before being proposed.
Changed: Dependency update cadence and review scope
Each dependency update now has its own pull request rather than being bundled with other minor or patch updates. This keeps release attribution and rollback scope clear for maintainers.
Version-update checks run on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 09:00 Europe/Oslo. A three-day cooldown remains in place before Dependabot proposes a newly published version. Security updates continue to bypass the schedule and cooldown.
