Too bad dependabot cooldowns are brain-dead. If you set a cooldown for one week, and your dependency can't get their act together and makes a release daily, it'll start making PRs for the first (oldest) release in the series after a week even though there's nothing cool about the release cadence.

The cooldown is to allow vulnerabilities to be discovered. So auto update on passing tests, which should include an npm audit check.
