fix(ci): remove inert placeholder dependabot.yml#27
Merged
Conversation
This file is GitHub's unedited template. Its only entry is the literal
placeholder:
- package-ecosystem: "" # See documentation for possible values
An empty package-ecosystem fails Dependabot's schema validation and GitHub
rejects the WHOLE file, so this config has never done anything. Deleting the
stub entry alone is not an option -- that would leave `updates: []`, which is
also invalid -- so the file goes.
Nothing that works today is lost: the config is provably inert. If Dependabot
is wanted here later, add a real entry with a groups: block, matching the 338
estate repos that already have a valid config.

Removing just the stub entry would leave
updates: []— also invalid. Since the placeholder is the entire file, the file goes.Nothing that currently works is lost: the config is provably inert. Deleting it removes dead config rot and is trivially reversible from history.
