The cooldown configuration option is not a valid Dependabot configuration setting. According to the GitHub Dependabot documentation (https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/dependabot/dependabot-version-updates/configuration-options-for-the-dependabot.yml-file), the valid configuration options for the schedule section are interval, day, time, and timezone. The cooldown option does not exist in the official Dependabot configuration schema.
If the goal is to delay updates after a dependency release, this cannot be achieved through Dependabot's native configuration. Consider alternative approaches such as:
- Using a weekly schedule (the original configuration) to naturally provide time between updates
- Implementing custom workflows with delay logic
- Using label-based filtering to manually control when updates are merged

This PR includes multiple workflow updates that pin GitHub Actions to specific commit SHAs, but these changes are not mentioned in the PR description. The PR description only mentions changes to the Dependabot configuration. Consider either:
- Updating the PR description to document all changes including the workflow updates
- Splitting these changes into a separate PR focused on dependency updates
The undocumented changes include pinning actions/checkout, super-linter/super-linter, and PSModule/Auto-Release to specific versions.
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.
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.
Release configuration cleanup
Removed the deprecated
.github/release.ymlfile 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:
