December 23-29, 2024 in Darker: Dependabot strategy discussion and merge permissions

[github-actions[bot]]

We had an important discussion about Dependabot strategy (#788) leading to a decision to disable version updates while keeping security updates enabled. The change aims to maintain compatibility with user environments that may have version constraints on shared dependencies. The discussion highlighted our need to support the oldest possible non-vulnerable versions of dependencies.

Several formatting-related discussions continued, including the reasons behind Darker's chunk-based reformatting behavior (#785). The explanation outlined how the current algorithm works with diff chunks and why implementing syntax-aware reformatting would require extensive changes. We also clarified the distinction between HEAD and :WORKTREE: when using revision ranges (#778), explaining why format-in-place is only allowed when comparing old revisions to the working tree.
