Duplicate each updates entry with target-branch: release-1.4 so Dependabot opens dependency-update PRs against the release-1.4 maintenance branch in addition to main. Adds a 'release-1.4' label to the new entries for easy filtering. Signed-off-by: charleswool <charleswool@users.noreply.github.com>

.github/dependabot.ymlso Dependabot opens dependency-update PRs against therelease-1.4maintenance branch in addition tomain.Dependabot only supports a single
target-branchperupdates:entry, so each of the existing ecosystem blocks (github-actions, gomod, docker/, docker/httpserver, docker/.devcontainer) is duplicated withtarget-branch: release-1.4. The sameignorerules are preserved on the release branch (no semver-major/minor gomod bumps; Go pinned at 1.22).A
release-1.4label is added on those entries so the resulting PRs are easy to filter / triage.Why
The
release-1.4branch is an active maintenance line but currently receives no automated dependency/CVE-fix PRs from Dependabot, so security and bug-fix backports have to be done manually. This change keeps it in sync automatically.Notes
main); thetarget-branchfield is what controls where the resulting PRs are opened — so no changes torelease-1.4itself are required.schedule.intervalon therelease-1.4entries can later be relaxed (e.g. monthly) independently.Signed-off-by: charleswool charleswool@users.noreply.github.com
