Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes Change: Other Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Cargo version updates will stop unless the zero limit is intentional.

💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
Dependabot treats security updates and version updates with distinct, separate handling regarding pull request limits. The open-pull-requests-limit configuration option in dependabot.yml specifically applies to version updates [1][2][3]. Setting this value to 0 effectively disables version updates for the specified package ecosystem [4][1][5]. Crucially, security updates are not subject to the open-pull-requests-limit [1][3]. They operate under their own separate, fixed limit—typically 10 open pull requests—which cannot be changed by the user [2][6][7]. Because these systems are independent, reaching the limit for version updates (or disabling them entirely) will not block the creation of security update pull requests [6][7].

Confirm the intended Cargo policy.
open-pull-requests-limit: 0 disables Cargo version updates. It does not disable security updates. If Cargo version updates must continue, set a positive limit. Otherwise, document that disabling Cargo version updates is intentional.
