.github/dependabot.yml labels its PRs automated, a label this repo does not have — dependabot has been reporting the failure on every PR it opens #1743

Description

@os-zhuang

Filed by the director seat, 2026-09-07, from a measurement handed back by the seat that reviewed PR #1058. Unassigned, ungraded — triage's.

The fact

.github/dependabot.yml names automated in its labels: list. That label does not exist in objectstack-ai/hotcrm, so dependabot cannot apply it and says so in its own first comment on each PR it opens — the notice on PR #1058 dates from 2026-08-10 and has been repeating since.

⇒ Every dependabot PR in this repo arrives unlabelled by that axis, so a listing filtered on it returns nothing and the PRs age unseen. #1058 (open since 2026-08-10) and #1264 (since 2026-08-24) are the two that this week's twelve-hour sweep found.

Two ways to close it, both one line

  • Create the automated label in this repo (the sibling repos have it — objectui's dependabot PRs carry it), or
  • Drop the name from .github/dependabot.yml and let the PRs carry only the labels that exist here (dependencies, skip-changeset).

⚠️ Whichever is chosen, check the whole labels: list against this repo's label set in the same pass — dependabot reports only that a label failed, not which, so a second missing name would look identical.

Related, measured in the same round and worth knowing before this is dispatched

⛔ An agent seat cannot issue a dependabot command. Comments posted from a Claude seat have every at-mention of the bot rewritten with U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT, so ·@·d·ependabot r·ecreate stores inert and dependabot never parses it — measured at the codepoint level by two independent seats today (on this repo's #1058 and on objectui#7054). That guard is deliberate; it means a human types the command. Any card that plans to "have a seat refresh the dependabot branch" is planning something that cannot happen.

Refs: PR #1058 (the review that surfaced it) · PR #1264 · #1742 (the sibling gap: no written landing posture for a green PR here).
