Conversation
The Graph API version the client talks to is ApiConfig::APIVersion from facebook/php-business-sdk, and Meta ships a new major of that package for every Graph API version, roughly three times a year. Until the constraint is widened, users of this library stay capped at the previous Graph API version, and so far somebody had to notice the release by hand. Dependabot now opens a PR that widens the constraint when a new major is released, for 1.x and, through target-branch, for 2.x. No composer.lock is committed, so releases inside the allowed range produce no PR. Other dependencies are left out on purpose: their ranges already float, and the dev tools are held on the majors that still support PHP 8.1.

Summary
The Graph API version the client talks to is
ApiConfig::APIVersionfrom whateverfacebook/php-business-sdkis installed, so the constraint^25.0 || ^26.0caps users at Graph API v26. Meta ships a new major of that package every four to five months:Until now somebody had to notice the release by hand (#10) and open a PR like #12. This adds
.github/dependabot.ymlso that PR is opened automatically.How it is set up
allowrule. The ranges of the other dependencies already float, and the dev tools are deliberately held on the majors that still support PHP 8.1, so watching them would only produce proposals that go against that policy.versioning-strategy: widen, so^25.0 || ^26.0becomes^25.0 || ^26.0 || ^27.0, the same edit as Allow facebook/php-business-sdk ^26.0 (Graph API v26.0) #12.composer.lockis committed, so a release inside the allowed range produces nothing; only a new major does.1.x. The second entry usestarget-branch: "2.x". The file does not need to exist on2.x.dependencies.What a Dependabot PR still needs from a human
ApiConfig::APIVersion, and the characterization tests pin the normalized and hashed output, so a behaviour change in the SDK'sNormalizerorUtil::hash()fails thehighestjobs.LiveClientTestdoes not run in CI, so one live run against the new major before tagging stays manual. CLAUDE.md now says so.^25.0once Graph API v25 is retired remains a manual decision.Test plan
