From c04dc49ded87133d7ccc24100620f1dc4d383d78 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rich Megginson Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 09:27:14 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] ci: ensure dependabot updates do not invoke ci tests [citest_skip] dependabot updates are DoSing our ci tests - we have a limited number of github action jobs and a dependabot update can eat up all of those for several hours, causing problems for "real" PRs that we need testing for immediately. Instead, tell these updates to skip ci testing, and we will manually trigger specific roles/tests as needed when there is a dependabot update. see https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/reference/supply-chain-security/dependabot-options-reference#prefix for more information.
