Summary

  • Group all npm, pip, and GitHub Actions updates by ecosystem, including major updates
  • Increase the default cooldown to 14 days for each configured ecosystem

The delay follows the supply-chain hardening pattern used by python/cpython-devcontainers and avoids the highest-risk window immediately after a new dependency release.

Validation

  • Parsed the YAML configuration successfully
  • Verified every configured ecosystem uses a wildcard group
  • Verified every npm, pip, and GitHub Actions entry has cooldown.default-days: 14
  • git diff --check

Delay dependency updates beyond the highest-risk window immediately after release.
