Pull Request Overview

Although Codacy analysis indicates the PR is up to standards, the current implementation fails to meet its primary objective. The use of an unsupported cooldown key in .github/dependabot.yml will result in a configuration error in the GitHub Dependabot dashboard, potentially disabling dependency updates entirely.

There is no native GitHub Dependabot configuration to delay package updates by a specific number of days. To align with the security intent of reducing exposure to immediate package releases, you should consider changing the update frequency to weekly or investigating third-party automation tools, as the current approach is invalid.

About this PR

• The proposed 'cooldown' property is not supported by the official GitHub Dependabot v2 schema. This will prevent the configuration from being parsed correctly and fails the acceptance criteria for a 7-day delay.

Test suggestions

• Verify dependabot.yml schema validity against GitHub's official specification

_{🔴 HIGH RISK}

The cooldown property is not a valid Dependabot configuration option. Using unsupported keys will result in a validation error in the GitHub repository's 'Insights -> Dependency Graph -> Dependabot' section, which may prevent any updates from being processed. To achieve a delay, consider changing the schedule.interval to weekly or specifying a specific day for updates to limit immediate exposure.
