commit-message.prefix already spells the full conventional-commit prefix (chore(deps) / chore(ci)), and include: scope made dependabot append its own scope on top. Every dependabot PR landed as chore(deps)(deps): ..., which the PR-hygiene title lint rejects with 'Unknown scope deps)(deps'. Both open dependabot PRs had that check red. Drops include: scope from both ecosystems and leaves a note so it is not re-added.

Problem
Every dependabot PR fails the
semantic PR titlecheck:.github/dependabot.ymlsetscommit-message.prefix: "chore(deps)"(whichalready contains the scope) and
include: scope, so dependabot appends asecond
(deps)of its own. Same for the github-actions ecosystem withchore(ci).The check is not a required status, so these PRs were merged red (#100, #65).
That trains everyone to ignore a red check on the one PR class nobody reads
closely, which is the wrong habit for a dependency-update stream.
Fix
Drop
include: scopefrom both ecosystems and keep the explicit prefixes.Next dependabot PR titles become
chore(deps): ...andchore(ci): ...,both of which the title lint accepts.
A comment above
updates:records whyinclude: scopemust not come back.Verification
No code paths touched. The two open dependabot PRs were retitled by hand to
the post-fix shape (
chore(deps): bump the go-deps group with 5 updates,chore(ci): bump the actions group with 4 updates) and the title check wentgreen on both, which is the same string this config will now produce.
