Summary

Add allow: [{ dependency-type: "all" }] to the bundler Dependabot config so transitive (indirect) gem dependencies are tracked alongside direct ones.

By default Dependabot only watches gems listed in the Gemfile. Transitives like mustermann, parallel, ruby2_keywords, etc. were invisible and had to be hand-bumped. With this change they'll ride along in the weekly grouped gems PR.

versioning-strategy: lockfile-only is preserved, so the Gemfile itself is still never modified — only Gemfile.lock gets updated.

Test plan

  • After merge, the next weekly Dependabot run picks up pending transitive bumps
