-# To get started with Dependabot version updates, you'll need to specify which
-# package ecosystems to update and where the package manifests are located.
-# Please see the documentation for all configuration options:
+# Dependabot configuration.
 # https://docs.github.com/code-security/dependabot/dependabot-version-updates/configuration-options-for-the-dependabot.yml-file
+#
+# Routine version updates are batched into a single weekly PR. Security
+# advisories are handled by GitHub's separate Dependabot security-updates
+# feature (Settings → Code security & analysis), which bypasses this schedule
+# and opens individual PRs immediately when a vulnerability is matched.
