Daily checks produce patch PRs that supersede the previous day's PR (patches fixing bugs introduced by earlier patches), creating churn for maintainers. Switch github-actions, gomod and docker ecosystems to a weekly schedule on Sunday 23:00 Europe/Amsterdam. Assisted by AI

What
Switch Dependabot from daily to weekly (Sunday 23:00 Europe/Amsterdam) for the
github-actions,gomod, anddockerecosystems.Why
Daily checks frequently open a patch PR that supersedes the previous day's PR — e.g. a patch that fixes a bug introduced by an earlier patch. This churn creates needless review work for maintainers. Once a week keeps dependencies current with far fewer redundant PRs.
Why it's safe
We don't run dependabot on our release branches (v5.4, v6.2), we only patch vulnerabilities there. CVE checking will continue to run nightly.
Notes
day: sunday+time: "23:00".pipecosystem was alreadyweekly(and has PRs disabled), so it's left unchanged.
