Summary

Adds .github/dependabot.yml so this repo's pinned GitHub Action SHAs
get bumped automatically once a week.

All action updates are grouped into one weekly PR (not one PR per
action) to keep the noise down, and Dependabot waits 7 days after a
release before opening the bump
(cooldown). The 7-day cooldown is
aligned with the org's pinact min_age: 7 policy — so by the time
the Dependabot PR lands, the SHA is already old enough for the security
gate to accept it. The bot opens the PR; the org-wide security gate
(pinact + denylist + deny-packages + osv-scan) runs on it; a human
merges.

Why

GitHub Action SHAs that were safe when pinned can drift out of date —
missing security patches, bug fixes, or new features. Dependabot keeps
them current. Combined with the org-wide validation workflow (which
blocks compromised SHAs from landing), the bumps are safe by
construction.

Closes huggingface/tracking-issues#513


Note

Low Risk
Only adds Dependabot configuration; no runtime, auth, or application code changes.

Overview
Introduces Dependabot for the github-actions ecosystem so pinned uses: SHAs in workflows can be refreshed on a weekly schedule.

Updates are grouped into a single weekly PR (patterns: ["*"]) instead of one PR per action. A 7-day cooldown after release delays opening bumps, intended to line up with org pinact min_age: 7 so proposed SHAs are more likely to pass the security gate when the PR is opened.
