Dependabot
Enable GitHub Dependabot dependabot_security_updates at the repo level.
Enable GitHub Dependabot .github/dependabot.yml for scheduled update PRs.
Status in this repository#
Both items are done. .github/dependabot.yml exists and registers one
cargo entry per Cargo workspace (/fhir, /fhir-store, /fhir-loco, and
each of the six database ports), plus a github-actions entry at the root —
because this is a nine-workspace monorepo (see AGENTS.md) and Dependabot
scopes cargo to a single directory's own lockfile, one entry per workspace
is required for full coverage. Alerts and automated security fixes
(dependabot_security_updates) are enabled as a repository setting.
Scheduled version-update PRs run weekly (Mondays) at GitHub's default cap of
5 open PRs per directory — raised from an initial open-pull-requests-limit: 0 after the first hour with default limits opened 47 PRs, many major
version bumps each triggering a port's full live-database CI, which does not
suit a repository that upgrades deliberately under an MSRV floor
(rust-msrv-n-minus-2). The dtolnay/rust-toolchain action pin is excluded
from automated bumps because that ref is the Rust toolchain version itself,
not an action revision — it moves by hand alongside a recomputed MSRV.
