Summary

  • Add open-pull-requests-limit: 5 to the github-actions Dependabot configuration to satisfy the zizmor dependabot-cooldown audit
  • Limit set to 5 per user guidance (solo maintainer)

Context

The super-linter upgrade from 8.3.2 to 8.5.0 (PR #78) introduced a stricter zizmor security audit that enforces Dependabot rate limiting. Without this setting, Dependabot can create unlimited PRs simultaneously, overwhelming maintainers and CI resources.

Error: warning[dependabot-cooldown]: insufficient cooldown in Dependabot updates at .github/dependabot.yml:10:5

Set limit to 5 (solo maintainer). Fixes dependabot-cooldown warning
from zizmor security audit introduced by super-linter 8.5.0 upgrade.
The open-pull-requests-limit alone is insufficient. Zizmor requires
the cooldown block with default-days to pass the dependabot-cooldown
audit. Applied zizmor's recommended auto-fix (default-days: 7).
