Research direction

Start with the dependabot.yml configuration and the NuGet update described in the issue, then reproduce the behavior using the stated allow, ignore, and groups rules. Compare the generated update type and dependency selection with the expected Microsoft minor and non-Microsoft patch-only behavior; done means the resulting updates follow those rules.
