Description

Adds a groups entry to the github-actions ecosystem in .github/dependabot.yml so all GitHub Actions version updates are consolidated into a single pull request.

The github-actions ecosystem had no groups, so it inherited Dependabot's default open-pull-requests-limit: 5. With ~15 actions across the workflows, Dependabot fills its 5 open-PR slots and then stops opening new bumps — which is why action updates stopped appearing.

Reproduced in a fork by enabling Dependabot version updates and forcing runs (Insights → Dependency graph → Dependabot → Check for updates):

  • Before: Dependabot opened exactly 5 individual github-actions PRs and stopped. A deliberately-outdated actions/checkout never got a PR — it was cut off by the 5-PR cap.
  • After this change: the individual PRs were superseded by a single grouped PR containing all 15 outstanding action updates (checkout, docker/login-action, setup-buildx-action, configure-aws-credentials, etc.).

Closes: #11007

Code review checklist

  • UI/UX backwards compatible: Test it works for the new design (enabled by default). And test it works in the old design, enable can_view_old_navigation permission to see the old design. Test it has appropriate design for RTL languages.
  • Readable: Concise, well named, follows the style guide
  • Documented: Configuration and user documentation on cht-docs
  • Tested: Unit and/or e2e where appropriate
  • Internationalised: All user facing text
  • Backwards compatible: Works with existing data and configuration or includes a migration. Any breaking changes documented in the release notes.
  • AI disclosure: Please disclose use of AI per the guidelines.
