Add workflow that fails when Dependabot updates error#215
Conversation
Dependabot version update failures only surface as a red triangle in the Dependabot tab, which nobody checks. This weekly scheduled workflow fails if any "Dependabot Updates" run concluded with failure, startup_failure, or timed_out in the last 8 days, so a broken ecosystem surfaces as a red scheduled run that emails a human. See maxmind/device-android#61 for the reference implementation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

How can I continue?After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews. How do review limits work?CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability. For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Pull request overview
Adds a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow to detect and surface recent failed “Dependabot Updates” workflow runs by failing a weekly check job, so broken Dependabot updates become visible via standard Actions failure signals.
Changes:
- Introduced a new scheduled workflow (
Dependabot Failure Watcher) running weekly (Wednesday) to query recent “Dependabot Updates” runs. - Treats
failure,startup_failure, andtimed_outconclusions as failures within an 8-day lookback window. - Emits a summarized error list (title/time/URL) and exits non-zero when failures are found.

Add a weekly scheduled workflow that fails when any "Dependabot Updates" run concluded with
failure,startup_failure, ortimed_outin the last 8 days, so a silently-broken Dependabot ecosystem surfaces as a red scheduled run that emails a human instead of only a red triangle in the Dependabot tab that nobody checks.This is a copy of the reference change in maxmind/device-android#61, adjusted to run on Wednesdays and to also treat
timed_outas a failure.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
