Use supported vulnerability-scan commands.
lint-vuln is not defined in Makefile or .bingo/Variables.mk. The lint target only runs golangci-lint and lint-repo; it does not run govulncheck. Therefore, make lint-vuln fails, and the make lint integration described below is incorrect.
Define lint-vuln and invoke govulncheck, or replace these references with the supported direct command govulncheck -show color,verbose ./.... Update the workflow text to state that make lint and govulncheck run separately unless the target is added as a lint dependency.

@vparfonov, I verified #3475.
It defines lint-vuln and adds it as a lint dependency. This resolves the command and workflow mismatch after #3475 merges.
#3475 is still open. Keep this thread open until that PR merges, or make this PR depend on #3475.

Move patch-updates after the specific groups.
Dependabot assigns an update to the first matching group. The * pattern captures patch updates before aws-sdk, k8s-ecosystem, and the other specific groups can match them. This prevents those updates from using their documented group names.

Remove the indirect allow rule.
Dependabot does not reject this configuration, but security is not a valid SemVer value for allow.update-types. Dependabot discards it, so the indirect rule does not restrict indirect version updates. Security updates use a separate path and remain eligible.

Document the actual Dependabot scope.
The configuration allows version updates for both direct and indirect dependencies. It does not limit indirect version updates to security updates. allow.update-types: ["security"] would also be invalid; supported values are semantic-version update types, and they do not control security updates. ignore rules can still exclude dependencies from security updates.

rebase-strategy: "auto" enables automatic rebasing. It does not document that a failed rebase closes and recreates the pull request. Replace both scenarios with manual conflict-resolution steps. (Dependabot options reference)

In @.github/DEPENDABOT.md around lines 82 - 83, Update the rebase-failure
documentation near the rebase-strategy guidance to remove the unsupported claim
that Dependabot closes and recreates the pull request, and replace it with
supported manual conflict-resolution steps. Keep the automatic rebase behavior
accurately described.

Remove the obsolete @dependabot close entry.
Current GitHub documentation no longer supports @dependabot close. The older command only prevented recreation of the same pull request; it did not suppress all updates for the dependency. Maintainers may issue an unsupported command if this row remains. Use the existing @dependabot ignore this dependency command for dependency-wide suppression.
Suggested fix
-| `@dependabot close` | Close the PR and ignore future updates |📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Update the Dependabot settings path.
The documented path omits Advanced Security. GitHub UI variants place it under either Security and quality or Security.
