🩹[Patch]: Configure Dependabot for daily schedule with 7-day cooldown

[MariusStorhaug]

Improves dependency management by configuring Dependabot to check daily while preventing excessive update noise through a 7-day cooldown period. This ensures timely security updates while reducing PR churn.

• Related to PSModule workflow standardization

Dependabot configuration

Changed the update schedule from weekly to daily with a 7-day cooldown period. This provides faster detection of security vulnerabilities while avoiding duplicate PRs for the same dependency within a week.

schedule:
  interval: daily
cooldown:
  default-days: 7

Release configuration cleanup

Removed the deprecated .github/release.yml file as release notes are now managed through the Auto-Release action's automated process.

Action pinning

Pinned all GitHub Actions to specific commit SHAs for improved security and reproducibility:

• actions/checkout@de0fac2e4500dabe0009e67214ff5f5447ce83dd (v6.0.2)
• actions/upload-artifact@b7c566a772e6b6bfb58ed0dc250532a479d7789f (v6.0.0)

The cooldown configuration option does not exist in Dependabot's configuration schema. As of January 2025, Dependabot does not support a cooldown feature for delaying updates after dependency releases. The valid configuration options for controlling update frequency are schedule.interval (with values like daily, weekly, monthly) and open-pull-requests-limit. Consider removing this unsupported configuration or using alternative approaches like schedule.interval: weekly to achieve a similar effect of less frequent updates.
