Pull request overview
This PR moves Dependabot auto-approval/auto-merge behavior out of the pull request checks workflow and into a new scheduled workflow, while also removing the repository’s workflow CODEOWNERS restriction.
Changes:
- Removed the reusable
dependabot-auto-approve-and-mergejob from the PR checks workflow. - Added a new scheduled workflow to auto-approve and enable auto-merge for dependency update PRs.
- Deleted
.github/CODEOWNERS, which previously restricted approvals for workflow changes.

.github/CODEOWNERS:1
- Deleting the CODEOWNERS rule for
.github/workflows/removes the existing restriction that only the administrators team can approve workflow changes. This weakens controls around GitHub Actions modifications (a common escalation vector). Please keep a CODEOWNERS entry (either restore this file or move the rule to the standard CODEOWNERS location) so workflow changes continue to require the intended owners.
