Adds open-pull-requests-limit to the Dependabot blocks in this repository
that did not have one.

Why. Without an explicit limit, Dependabot defaults to 5 open PRs per
ecosystem. Across the estate that produced a large, permanently-refreshing
backlog that costs more to triage than the updates are worth. An estate-wide
audit found 3,024 uncapped blocks across 1,429 config files.

The cap applied here follows the per-ecosystem doctrine already recorded in
rsr-template-repo, not a single flat number: github-actions 2, cargo 0,
mix/npm/pip 3.

How this commit was built. The change was made with git plumbing against
origin/<default branch>, not by staging a working tree. The branch therefore
contains exactly one commit touching exactly one file, and carries none of the
unrelated local state present in this checkout. A per-repository assertion
required git diff --name-only <base> <commit> to equal the expected path set
exactly, or the branch was never created.

Repositories whose HEAD already differed from the base on this file were
skipped, not overwritten, so no unpushed local work is discarded or
silently folded into this PR.

This PR is opened as a draft on purpose. It is part of a bulk campaign and
is not requesting a merge. Review and merge at your discretion.

Adds `open-pull-requests-limit` to Dependabot update blocks that had no
cap, following the estate per-ecosystem cap doctrine (task #37).
No other line in the file is touched.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Limited the number of simultaneously open automated GitHub Actions update pull requests to two.
    • Added weekly automated dependency update checks for Maven packages.

Walkthrough

The Dependabot configuration limits GitHub Actions pull requests to two and adds weekly Maven dependency updates.

Changes

Dependabot configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update source configuration
.github/dependabot.yml
The GitHub Actions update block sets open-pull-requests-limit: 2. A Maven update block uses a weekly schedule.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6bda8

This change caps GitHub Actions update pull requests but also adds a weekly Maven update source that has no Maven manifest to scan. The ineffective Dependabot configuration should be removed or corrected before relying on it.

Explanation

The description explains the purpose, scope, implementation method, and draft status. However, it does not follow the repository template and omits the required Summary, Changes, RSR Quality Checklist, Testing, and Screenshots sections. It also provides no actual test command output.

Resolution

Rewrite the description using the repository template. Include the required section headings, list the exact Dependabot changes, complete the applicable checklist items, record actual test commands and output, and add screenshots or terminal output when applicable. Mark non-applicable items explicitly if required by the repository process.

Remove the Maven update block.

The repository contains no pom.xml at / or in any Maven module. Dependabot cannot process this block with directory: "/".
