What changed

  • Removes .github/workflows/automerge.yml, which turned on auto-merge for every Dependabot PR.

Why

Under the GitHub charter, only the steward merges. This workflow merged Dependabot PRs with no review, and because it merged with GITHUB_TOKEN, CI never ran on main after those merges. Dependabot still opens PRs; the steward reviews each one and merges it on green CI.

How it was verified

  • One file deleted, nothing else changed: git show --stat 2b188e9.
  • A backup of the removed file is kept outside the repo.
  • CI on this PR also exercises the Actions versions that auto-merge already landed on main.

Evidence commit hashes

  • Base: b25abed (main). Change: 2b188e9.

Checklist

  • CI green (required before merge)
  • Claims traced (no numbers in this change)
  • No secrets
