Why

The weekly Dependabot group PRs (#434, #436) are red on Lint, Unit tests and the project image. They all fail on the same compile error:

k8s.io/apimachinery@v0.37.1/pkg/util/managedfields/internal/typeconverter.go:51:61:
cannot use typeSchema.Types ([]"sigs.k8s.io/structured-merge-diff/v7/schema".TypeDef)
as []"sigs.k8s.io/structured-merge-diff/v6/schema".TypeDef

sigs.k8s.io/kustomize/{api,kyaml} 0.21.3 bumped kube-openapi to its latest snapshot (20261001230523), which has moved to structured-merge-diff/v7. That is the Kubernetes 1.38 dependency line: k8s.io/apimachinery v0.38.0-alpha.2 pins smd v7, while v0.37.1, which we use, pins v6. Kubernetes 1.38 is still alpha, so we can't move k8s.io/* forward yet.

What

Add a Dependabot ignore for sigs.k8s.io/kustomize/* >= 0.21.3 on the gomod entry. The other bumps in the group should then go through. Remove the ignore when k8s.io/* moves to v0.38; kustomize has to come along in that same PR.

This PR also includes a small, unrelated touch-up to docs/images/config-bi-directional.excalidraw.svg.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Automated dependency updates now skip Kustomize versions 0.21.3 and later. This changes which versions may be included in grouped dependency update requests.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The reviewed change is limited to .github/dependabot.yml. The ignore rule directly addresses the dependency update failure described for issue #436. The separately described SVG touch-up is excluded from review, so this assessment does not treat it as an out-of-scope change.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the failure, root cause, intended Dependabot change, and removal condition. It does not follow the repository template because it omits the Type of Change, Testing, Checklist, Related Issues, Screenshots, and Additional Notes sections.

Resolution

Update the description to include all template sections. Mark the applicable change type and testing results. Complete the checklist, provide the related issue reference, state whether screenshots apply, and add any required notes about the unrelated SVG touch-up or remove that change from the pull request.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #436 directly requests updates to sigs.k8s.io/kustomize/api and sigs.k8s.io/kustomize/kyaml from 0.21.2 to 0.21.3. The reviewed change only adds a Dependabot ignore for sigs.k8s.io/kustomize/* >= 0.21.3; it does not implement either dependency update. The ignore conflicts with the direct issue objective.

Resolution

Update both kustomize modules to 0.21.3 and provide compatible dependency resolution with passing automated checks, or change the linked issue target if the update is intentionally deferred.

Preserve security updates during this compatibility hold.

versions under ignore filters security update PRs as well as normal version updates. A security fix that requires v0.21.3 or later will therefore be hidden. While the current modules remain at v0.21.2, use the three version-update:semver-* ignore types instead; Dependabot does not apply those filters to security updates. (docs.github.com)
