Description

It will probably be important to siginify in a repo if its a library or an application, since this impacts expectations on "downstream" (reverse) dependencies.

As an example, it makes sense to enable dependabot alerts to keep dependencies up to date with latest versions for applications, but to have libraries be more conservative in their requirements, since updating a requirement in a lib will require all consumers to also update.

First determine how this repository should signify whether it is a library or an application, and how that distinction would affect dependency expectations. Done means the repository has an agreed, usable distinction that supports the stated Dependabot policy.
