Dependency update automation should be ecosystem-specific and noise-bounded

Summary#

Several maintenance PRs show that a single dependency bot policy does not fit every package ecosystem. When an ecosystem produces noisy or low-value updates, move it to a purpose-built workflow, batch related upgrades, and reduce cadence so humans review fewer, higher-signal changes.

Problem#

Generic weekly dependency automation can flood repos with low-value PRs, especially for ecosystems like pre-commit hooks or large grouped frontend/backend updates.

Solution#

Disable or narrow the default bot where it performs poorly, add a dedicated workflow for the problematic ecosystem, freeze versions in a controlled updater, and shift broad dependency schedules to monthly or grouped updates.

Failure Modes#

Keeping all ecosystems on the same cadence creates review fatigue and ignored PRs
Automating hook updates without version freezing can introduce churn that is hard to reproduce
Over-grouping unrelated packages can make rollback and root-cause isolation harder

verdict: ok
note: 생태계별 cadence·grouping으로 PR 노이즈를 줄이는 권장은 여전히 유효함
