All nine Dependabot ecosystems now batch their updates into one grouped PR each
(`groups: { <name>: { patterns: ["*"] } }`) instead of one PR per dependency.
A routine refresh previously fanned out into a dozen-plus PRs (the Maven batch
alone opened 12), each running the full nine-language CI matrix (~55 checks) and
clogging the runner queue ahead of release and feature runs. Grouping collapses
that to one PR per ecosystem.
Trade-off: a single broken update blocks its whole group until excluded — fine
for routine maintenance bumps. Security updates are unaffected (they are not
grouped and continue to arrive individually).
