ci(dependabot): approve non-major updates to unblock auto-merge#403
Merged
Conversation
The next-branch ruleset requires 1 approving review. Dependabot PRs never get one, so auto-merge stayed BLOCKED indefinitely. Approve non-major (patch + minor) updates with the app token before enabling auto-merge; the app identity differs from the PR author, so the approval satisfies the rule.

Problem
Non-major dependabot PRs on
nexthad auto-merge enabled but satBLOCKEDforever. Thenext protectionruleset requiresrequired_approving_review_count: 1; dependabot PRs never receive a review, so auto-merge never fires.Fix
Add an approve step (app token) for non-major (patch + minor) updates before enabling auto-merge. The app identity (
aidd-bot) differs from the PR author (dependabot[bot]), so the approval counts toward the required review.Targets
