Dependabot's default pull request titles (Bump actions/checkout from 6 to 7) are not Conventional Commits. Since pull requests are squash-merged, that title becomes the commit subject release-please parses — and a subject it cannot parse is skipped silently: no changelog entry, no version bump.

prefix: chore plus include: scope produces dependabot's canonical form, chore(deps): bump … / chore(deps-dev): …. chore is already documented in the README's type table, bumps patch, and renders under Miscellaneous Chores, so dependency updates stay visible in the release notes.

The two dependabot pull requests already open (#35, #36) were retitled by hand — a config change does not rewrite existing ones.

Dependabot's default titles are not Conventional Commits, so release-please
skips those merges: no changelog entry and no version bump.
