GitHub introduces standard waiting period before automatic dependency updates

GitHub has made it standard for Dependabot to wait at least three days after a new version is released before opening a pull request for an update. Previously, this "cooldown" period had to be configured manually.

WHY IT MATTERS

This reduces the risk of merging bug fixes or security vulnerabilities before they have been thoroughly tested in production, and makes secure dependency management easier for everyone.
