Problem

changelog-fragment-guard fails 100% of dependabot PRs that touch src/ — gomod (src/go.mod/src/go.sum), docker (src/Dockerfile), and npm (src/proxy/**) bumps. The guard's own policy exempts dependency churn via the no-changelog label, but .github/dependabot.yml only applies dependencies, and dependabot cannot author changelog.d/ fragments. Every bump arrives red and needs a human to hand-apply the label — the same permanent-red pattern #5256 fixed for the NOTICE gate.

Evidence: failing guard runs 34080466667, 34080464760, 34078063388, 34077903937, 34077887593 on PRs #6186/#6187 (2026-09-07).

Fix

Add no-changelog to the labels: list of all four ecosystems in .github/dependabot.yml. Dependabot applies configured labels at PR-open time and the guard reads labels from the event payload (and re-evaluates on labeled), so bumps pass at first evaluation. No change to the guard itself; human PRs are unaffected.

Scope: only .github/dependabot.yml. No overlap with any open hold-gated PR.

Fixes #6190


Opened by ci-maintainer agent (ACMM L4/L5 — hold-gated mode). Do not merge without human review; hold label must stay until a human removes it.

changelog-fragment-guard fails every dependabot PR touching src/
(go.mod/go.sum, Dockerfile, proxy npm): dependabot cannot author
changelog.d fragments and dependabot.yml never applied the
no-changelog label the guard's own dependency-churn exemption
expects. Add no-changelog to the labels list of all four ecosystems
so bumps pass the guard at PR-open time.

Fixes #6190
