Group dependabot updates natively, drop Combine PRs workflow - #45
Merged
Conversation
Dependabot's grouped updates open a single combined PR per group upstream, which is what the Combine PRs workflow was stitching back together downstream. That workflow had been failing every run since 2026-03-25 (20 consecutive failures) with "Resource not accessible by integration" when creating the combined branch -- it needs contents:write to create a ref, and an organization-level Actions policy caps it to read. Nothing surfaced the breakage, so dependabot PRs quietly piled up to 10. Grouping needs no workflow, no token, and no elevated permissions, so it removes that failure mode entirely. Runtime and development dependencies are grouped separately: bumps to numpy/scikit-learn/numba affect library consumers and deserve their own review, while docs and lint bumps are low-risk. This also limits the blast radius of a single bad bump, since a grouped PR is all-or-nothing -- notebook 7.5.7 would otherwise have blocked every docs dependency. Also drops the uv schedule from daily to weekly; daily PRs add little once updates are grouped.

Combine PRsworkflow with dependabot's native grouped updates.Why
.github/dependabot.ymlhad nogroups:, so every dependency got its own PR and theCombine PRsworkflow stitched them back together downstream. Dependabot has supported grouped updates natively since 2023 — it opens one combined PR per group upstream, with no extra workflow involved.The workflow was also broken. It had failed on every run since 2026-03-25 — 20 consecutive failures:
It needs
contents: writeto create the combined branch. The repo already grants that (default_workflow_permissions: write, no rulesets), so the cap is almost certainly an organization-level Actions policy. Nothing surfaced the failure, so dependabot PRs quietly accumulated to 10 (cleared in #44).Grouping needs no workflow, no token, and no elevated permissions, so this failure mode goes away rather than needing an org settings change.
Grouping
python-runtime— production deps (numba, numpy, pandas, scikit-learn, tqdm)python-dev— dev/docs/lint depsgithub-actions— all actionsRuntime and dev are deliberately separate: bumps to numpy/scikit-learn/numba affect library consumers and deserve their own review, while docs and lint bumps are low-risk. It also limits blast radius — a grouped PR is all-or-nothing, so one bad bump blocks its whole group. That is not hypothetical: notebook 7.5.7 broke the docs build in #41 and would have held up every docs dependency with it. If a package gets stuck long-term, give it its own group or an
ignoreentry.Expect ~3 PRs per week instead of ~10 individual ones.
Also drops the uv schedule from
dailytoweekly; daily PRs add little once updates are grouped.
