SOURCE SUMMARY

As a repository administrator, you can now configure the runner type, optional custom label, and optional runner group for Dependabot version and security updates. This extends the runner configuration already…

WHY IT MATTERS

Safety and security updates can change how a system should be evaluated, deployed, or governed even when headline capability is unchanged. The useful signal is whether the work introduces a concrete framework, evidence base, control, or reporting standard that can be applied in practice.

WHAT TO VERIFY

Check the scope of the evaluation or policy, who defined the criteria, the underlying evidence, known limitations, whether results were independently reviewed, and which safeguards are actually deployed versus proposed.
