Auto-merge major GitHub Actions bumps - #35

Conversation
Action major bumps are routine pin moves already gated by actionlint, zizmor, and CI. Holding them for manual review only added latency: setup-python v7, stale v11, and setup-uv v9 sat for nine days with all checks green. Majors in other ecosystems still require manual review.

Allows Dependabot to auto-merge
github-actionsmajor bumps, while every other ecosystem keeps requiring manual review for majors.fetch-metadatareportspackage-ecosystem: github_actionsfor these PRs (verified in the run log for #34).Why
Action majors are pin moves gated by actionlint, zizmor, and the full CI matrix. Holding them back only added latency — praw-dev/asyncpraw#404 (
setup-pythonv7) and #34 (setup-pythonv7,stalev11,setup-uvv9) sat nine days with every check green, and none carried a breaking change that affects these workflows:setup-pythonv7 removed thepip-installinput, which is not used here.setup-uvv9 flippedprune-cachetofalse, which only matters when caching is enabled; it is not.stalev11 is an ESM migration with no documented input changes.Python-ecosystem majors are a different risk profile and still stop for review.
