Auto-merge every Dependabot tier (drop semver-major skip)#113
Merged
Conversation
Remove the fetch-metadata step and the semver-major guard from the merge-dependabot job so every tier auto-merges on green - the required checks are the gate, not the version bump. The guard was inert here anyway (this repo's ecosystems are github-actions + docker, no NuGet). Update WORKFLOW.md D8.2, the self-sufficiency prose, the merge-bot flow diagram, and the D8/D9 summary to match. Closes the last policy drift vs the sibling repos.

Pull request overview
This PR aligns the repository's merge-bot behavior and workflow contract documentation with the policy that all Dependabot updates (including semver-major) should auto-merge once required checks are green, removing the previously retained (but in this repo effectively inert) semver-major NuGet exception.
Changes:
- Removed the
dependabot/fetch-metadatastep and theversion-update:semver-majorconditional so the Dependabot merge step always enables auto-merge for qualifying Dependabot PRs. - Updated
WORKFLOW.mdto reflect the "every tier" Dependabot policy, including the D8.2 guarantee text and the automation flow diagram.

Closes #112
Removes the
version-update:semver-majorguard (and the now-unuseddependabot/fetch-metadatastep) from themerge-dependabotjob so every Dependabot tier auto-merges on green - the required checks are the gate, not the version bump. The guard was inert here anyway (this repo's ecosystems aregithub-actions+docker, no NuGet), so it only added a stale "Skip semver-major NuGet bumps" comment and an extra step/token. Brings the policy in line with the sibling repos (LanguageTags, Utilities, homeassistant-purpleair) that already dropped it.Changes
.github/workflows/merge-bot-pull-request.yml: drop the metadata step + theif:guard; the merge step now runs unconditionally on a qualifying Dependabot PR. Comment updated to "Every tier auto-merges, semver-major included".actionlintclean.WORKFLOW.md: update D8.2, the self-sufficiency prose, the D8/D9 summary, and the merge-bot flow diagram (removed the "semver-major nuget?" gate + "wait for human review" node). Mermaid re-rendered clean; markdownlint clean.Note:
Closes #112here targetsdevelop; it will actually fire when this reachesmainvia the promotion PR (per the repo's own issue-closing learning).
