Summary of ChangesHello @plumpy, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed! This pull request streamlines the dependency update process by reconfiguring Dependabot to consolidate multiple daily pull requests into single weekly ones for both Go modules and GitHub Actions. The change aims to reduce PR noise and enhance efficiency in dependency management by presenting all updates in a single, manageable batch, while also expanding the list of excluded paths for Go module updates.

Code Review
This pull request updates the Dependabot configuration to group Go module and GitHub Actions updates into weekly pull requests, which will help reduce notification noise. The change to the gomod configuration also expands the list of excluded paths. While the grouping is a good improvement, the new exclude-paths use broad directory exclusions (hack, integration) which could unintentionally prevent important dependencies from being updated. I've added a comment with a recommendation to use more specific paths to mitigate this risk.

Using broad directory exclusions like hack and integration can be risky as it might unintentionally prevent Dependabot from updating Go modules that should be kept up-to-date. For instance, this change broadens the exclusion from integration/examples to the entire integration directory, and adds a new exclusion for hack. This will cause Dependabot to ignore all go.mod files within these directories, such as hack/tools/go.mod and potentially important integration test helpers. This could lead to stale dependencies. It is recommended to use more specific paths for exclusion to avoid this, for example hack/tools or integration/examples.
