Conversation
Both first runs on 2026-10-31 failed with Dependabot::OutOfDisk after 34 minutes. Dependabot clones with --recurse-submodules, and TechEngine carries TechAPI as its own submodule, so the clone loops until the disk is full; dependabot.yml has no setting that stops the recursion. The TechEngine pin and the pinned action SHAs are bumped by hand instead. Refs #297

What
Removes
.github/dependabot.yml. The README now says the TechEngine pin and the pinned action SHAs are bumped by hand.Why
Dependabot cannot clone this repo. Both first runs on 2026-10-31 failed with
Dependabot::OutOfDiskafter 34 minutes (gitsubmodule, github-actions).Dependabot always clones with
--recurse-submodules. TechEngine carries TechAPI as its own submodule, so the clone loops through TechAPI → TechEngine → TechAPI … until the runner's disk is full.dependabot.ymlhas no setting that stops the recursion. Each scheduled attempt would burn about half an hour of runner time and still open nothing.A bump stays a normal PR into
develop. WhenTechEnginemoves, pr-checks runs the full engine validator and a smoke dump.Closes #297
