     * This approach doesn't work with merge commits as these can introduce commits in the chronological order
     * after the fact e.x. a merge done today can add commits dated with yesterday so the result will no longer be

     * <p>
     * We don't use merge commits, but for additional safety we check that no such commits exist in the time period

If the tests are passing, you can merge it right away.

Dependabot will create PRs to update dependencies for several things, and those PRs all look similar, but some are way more delicate than others.
