chore(dependabot): raise semver-patch cooldown to 5 days

Patch is the only update class that auto-merges with no human
involved, yet carried the shortest cooldown (1 day, a third of
GitHub's 3-day default). Soak time should scale with how little
scrutiny a bump receives, not with how breaking semver claims it is.

Costs nothing in security terms: cooldown never applies to Dependabot
security updates, which still fire immediately.

Propagated from simplify9/.github (dependabot-templates).

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary

Updates .github/dependabot.yml to increase semver-patch cooldowns from 1 day to 5 days for NuGet, Docker, and GitHub Actions dependencies. Security updates remain immediate.

Risk

risk:low

Security-sensitive areas

Dependabot update timing changed. Security updates are excluded from the cooldown and are not delayed.

Test coverage impact

No runtime or test-code changes. Configuration validation is sufficient.

Operational concerns

The change affects dependency update timing only. No migration or deployment changes are required. Rollback by restoring the cooldown values from 5 days to 1 day.

Walkthrough
