The `ubuntu-slim` runner is lighter weight, being a container rather than using a whole VM, and having only one vCPU, less RAM, and a 15 minute time limit. It's not suitable for most of our CI jobs in GitPython, but it should work well for our `pre-commit` checks. (If it doesn't, that's reason to suspect they might be better removed from `pre-commit` and run in a different way.) - https://github.blog/changelog/2026-01-22-1-vcpu-linux-runner-now-generally-available-in-github-actions/ - https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/ubuntu-slim/ubuntu-slim-Readme.md
- Add `pre-commit` as an ecosystem for Dependabot version updates, now that it is available as a beta ecosystem. Enable beta ecosystems to allow this. - Group the updates and use a monthly cadence to avoid getting swamped by frequent automated PRs. - It would be valuable in the future to Use a 7-day cooldown period rather than taking new versions immediately once released. (This may also be of value to developers who use `pre-commit` locally.) However, this doesn't do that, since the Dependabot ecosystem for `pre-commit` does not currently support `cooldown`. - Use a less busy style (less unnecessary quoting) than was being used in `dependabot.yml` before, since this new stanza is more elaborate than before. Apply that style to the existing stanzas for consistency.

Pull request overview
Adjusts CI configuration to make the pre-commit lint job run on a lighter runner and enables Dependabot updates for pre-commit hook versions, keeping hook tooling (e.g., ruff) current without relying on external integrations.
Changes:
- Switch
lintworkflow job runner fromubuntu-latesttoubuntu-slim. - Enable Dependabot beta ecosystems and add grouped monthly updates for
pre-commithooks. - Minor YAML normalization in Dependabot config (remove unnecessary quoting).

On CI, the
pre-commitjob has two shortcomings:pre-commitat all (since some developers may runpre-commitlocally).ruff. (There is an external integration that can keep pre-commit hooks up to date on GitHub, but it requires providing access to the repository to an external service. This is sometimes a tradeoff worth making, but it's one we've avoided doing here for this purpose, I think rightly.)These have both become easier to address recently:
ubuntu-slimrunner is available. Running it on that should work as well and be as fast, and give an indication that we're doing too much inpre-commitif that is ever not the case. It also frees up anubuntu-latestrunner, potentially making CI finish slightly earlier in some PRs where there have been a lot of pushes.pre-commitas a beta ecosystem, so it can keep them up to date. I've tested this in my fork; the resulting grouped PR looks like EliahKagan#5. It's not ideal that the ecosystem is still in beta, but I think it's worth using--and if it turns out to have bugs I haven't yet observed, then this is an oppportunity for me to report them.This PR uses the
ubuntu-slimrunner to runpre-commiton CI, and enables Dependabot version updates forpre-commithooks.
