Dependabot was emitting commits with `deps:` / `deps-dev:` as the type prefix, which violates commitlint's type-enum (only the conventional types are allowed). The lint job in CI runs against every commit in the PR range, so all 17 open dependabot PRs were blocked at the "Commit message lint" check. - .github/dependabot.yml: switch all three ecosystems (nuget, github- actions, npm) to `prefix: chore` with `include: scope`. Dependabot now emits `chore(deps): ...` for production deps and `chore(deps-dev): ...` for dev deps. - .commitlintrc.json: add `deps-dev` to scope-enum (we already had `deps`). Both scopes validated with `npx commitlint`. After merge, comment `@dependabot recreate` on each open dependabot PR to regenerate them with the corrected commit messages. Closes #238

Editing PR titles wouldn't help — the lint job (
.github/workflows/ci.yml:614-617) runscommitlint --from=base.sha --to=head.sha, validating every commit in the range. Closing and reopening 17 PRs by hand is wasteful churn.Test plan
