Summary

GitHub Actions version bumps currently only land on main, because Dependabot scans the default branch only — the maintained version branches drift. This surfaced in TYPO3-Documentation/TYPO3CMS-Guide-FrontendLocalization#136 / TYPO3-Documentation/TYPO3CMS-Guide-FrontendLocalization#137, where a backport still rendered with the old pinned actions/checkout v6 because the 14.3 branch never received the bump main got.

This PR adds per-branch target-branch update blocks so Dependabot keeps the workflow action pins on the maintained version branches (12.4, 13.4, 14.3) up to date directly — no backport labels or manual cherry-picks needed.

Notes

  • Scope: the version branches that still receive backports (12.4, 13.4, 14.3). 11.5 and older also still carry workflows but are left out deliberately; extend the list if you want them covered.
  • Dependabot opens separate bump PRs per branch (e.g. actions/checkout v6 → v7 on each) starting with the next weekly run.
  • The existing main update block is unchanged.
