The path-ignore pattern references 'LICENSE' but the actual file in the repository is named 'LICENSE.md'. This mismatch means changes to LICENSE.md will not be properly ignored and will trigger the CI workflow unnecessarily. The pattern should be updated to 'LICENSE.md' to match the actual filename.

The directory path for the github-actions package ecosystem should be "/" not "/.github/". GitHub Actions workflows are typically located in .github/workflows, but Dependabot expects the directory to be set to "/" to monitor all GitHub Actions in the repository. This incorrect path will prevent Dependabot from detecting and updating GitHub Actions dependencies.

The type: field is not a valid top-level field in GitHub issue form syntax. GitHub issue forms only support name, description, title, labels, assignees, and body at the top level. This field should be removed as it will cause the issue template to fail validation.

The validation field max_length is not a valid validation option for input elements in GitHub issue forms. Input elements only support the required validation option. If you want to enforce character limits, this should be mentioned in the description or placeholder text instead, as GitHub issue forms do not provide native max length validation for input fields.

Awkward sentence structure. The phrase "Ensure your commit message should follow" contains redundant auxiliary verbs. It should be either "Ensure your commit message follows" or "Your commit message should follow" to improve clarity and grammatical correctness.

The title field uses {{summary}} interpolation syntax, but GitHub issue forms do not support variable interpolation in the title field. The title field must be a static string. Users can edit the title after the issue is created, but you cannot programmatically insert values from form fields into it. Consider using a static title like "[Question] " and let users complete it, or remove the variable placeholder.
