1-29: Consider adding version constraints for dependency updates.While the current configuration is valid and follows best practices, consider adding version constraints using
allowrules to control the scope of updates:package-ecosystem: gomod directory: "/" schedule: interval: daily + allow: + - dependency-type: "direct" + - dependency-type: "indirect" + update-type: "security"This would help manage the volume of updates while ensuring security patches are always included.

4-9: LGTM! Correct schema usage for gomod configuration.
The change from directories to directory aligns with the official Dependabot schema. The daily update schedule and pull request limit of 3 are reasonable settings for managing Go dependencies.
26-29: LGTM! Appropriate configuration for Docker updates.
The daily update schedule for Docker dependencies is a good security practice, ensuring timely updates for container images.
Line range hint 13-23: Verify the impact of increased update frequency.
The change from weekly to daily updates for GitHub Actions is good for security. The grouping strategy with exclusions for critical build actions (setup-go and goreleaser-action) is well-designed.
Let's check the current GitHub Actions usage and potential update frequency:
✅ Verification successful
Daily GitHub Actions updates are safe to proceed with
The analysis shows a well-maintained workflow with:
- All actions pinned to specific commit hashes
- Critical build actions (
setup-go) already excluded from grouping - No recent Dependabot PRs for actions, indicating stable dependencies
- Moderate number of action dependencies (~15 unique actions)
The increased frequency from weekly to daily is unlikely to cause disruption given the current setup and update history.
