What this PR does

Changes the Dependabot commit prefix from feat to fix. Action pins in the reusable workflows run in callers' CI, so a bump only reaches them through a release; with release-please, feat made every weekly bump a minor release listed under Added. fix makes it a patch listed under Fixed.

Changes

Reviewer notes

Action pins in the reusable workflows run in callers' CI, so a bump
reaches them only through a release. feat made every weekly bump a
minor release and put it under Added; fix makes it a patch under Fixed.
A major bump that raises a requirement can still be retitled to feat
before merging.

What changed in this PR

Updates Dependabot’s commit message prefix so dependency pin bumps are released as patches (and categorized under “Fixed”) instead of triggering minor releases under “Added”.

Changes:

  • Switch Dependabot commit prefix from feat to fix
  • Add inline guidance on when to retitle a bump to feat (requirement-raising changes)
File Description

Comment thread .github/dependabot.yml Resolved
The Dependabot comment now points at release-please-config.json for how
a fix commit is released, rather than stating it as a general rule.
