ci: skip commitlint for dependabot PRs - #13
Merged
Conversation
Dependabot's auto-generated commit bodies (dependency tables, changelog links) routinely exceed the 100-char body-max-line-length rule from @commitlint/config-conventional, failing the check on every dependabot PR. commitlint is not a required status check, so skipping it for this actor is safe.

Summary
body-max-line-lengthrule from@commitlint/config-conventional, causing thecommitlintjob to fail on every dependabot PR (chore(deps): bump actions/checkout from 6.0.2 to 7.0.1 #10, chore(deps): bump the minor-and-patch group across 1 directory with 8 updates #11).commitlintjob when the PR author isdependabot[bot]. Verifiedcommitlintis not part of any required status check (repo or org ruleset), so this doesn't weaken branch protection.Test plan
