Dependabot has been stripping upper/lower bounds from internal
`langchain-*` deps in partner `pyproject.toml` files (e.g. #37288
reduced `langchain-core>=1.3.2,<2.0.0` to bare `langchain-core`). Locks
down the config so bumps preserve existing specifiers, and restores the
bounds it already mangled across the monorepo.
## Changes
- Add `versioning-strategy: increase` to every `uv` ecosystem block in
`.github/dependabot.yml` so future bumps move the lower bound in place
instead of rewriting the constraint.
- Ignore workspace-internal packages (`langchain-core`, `langchain`,
`langchain-classic`, `langchain-text-splitters`, `langchain-tests`,
`langchain-model-profiles`) on every `uv` block — these are editable
installs from local paths and their published constraints are
hand-curated for release, not Dependabot's to bump.
- Restore stripped bounds across all `libs/` packages — runtime
`dependencies` and every dep group (`test`, `dev`, `test_integration`,
`typing`, `lint`) — to `>=1.4.0,<2.0.0` for `langchain-core` and
`>=1.0.0,<2.0.0` for the other internal packages.
## Summary
- Changes Dependabot schedule from `weekly` to `monthly` across all 4
update entries to reduce PR noise while keeping dependencies current
- Adds `update-types` split (major vs minor+patch) to all dependency
groups so breaking changes arrive in separate PRs from safe updates
## Why
Weekly cadence generates excessive PRs in a monorepo this size. Monthly
is the recommended cadence for non-security version updates (security
updates are handled separately by GitHub). The update-type split ensures
major (breaking) bumps don't get mixed with safe minor/patch updates,
making review easier and safer.
## Test plan
- [x] Verify Dependabot parses the updated config without errors (check
Settings > Code security > Dependabot)
- [x] Confirm next scheduled run produces grouped PRs split by update
type
