🔵 Needs a closer look

The exclusion pattern targets the wrong path, so sample manifests remain in scope.

Attempts to exclude .NET samples from Dependabot NuGet scans to prevent timeouts.

Changes:

• Adds an exclusion rule for the .NET samples directory.

Suppressed comments (1)

.github/dependabot.yml:16

• exclude-paths patterns are resolved relative to the configured directory (dotnet/). This therefore targets dotnet/dotnet/samples/** and does not exclude the repository's dotnet/samples/**, so the timeout-causing manifests remain in scope. Use samples/** here (or change the base directory).

      - "dotnet/samples/**"

Overview

The PR takes a focused approach by excluding the sample subtree while retaining production projects, tests, and central package versions in the NuGet update job. Existing grouping, cooldown, CI coverage, and central package management constrain update volume and validate resulting dependency changes. However, the new glob is rooted incorrectly, so all sample manifests remain in scope and the Dependabot timeout this change is meant to resolve can continue blocking NuGet updates.
