+# Weekly dependency PRs, tuned for quiet: one grouped PR per ecosystem lane,
+# minor+patch only. Majors never auto-PR — React, Vite, TypeScript, js-yaml
+# and friends are migrations with real blast radius (js-yaml majors touch the
+# round-trip contract), so they get done deliberately, parity sweep included.
+# Electron still matters most here: it ships a Chromium, so a stale Electron
+# is a stale browser; minors/patches arrive weekly via the dev-tooling group.
