Descripción
### Value Prop
Dependabot's automatic `.npmrc` inference for npm private registries has been a persistent source of broken update runs — failing silently due to incorrect lockfile URLs, format changes, or package manager differences. With this release, customers gain explicit control over registry scopes via a new `scope` property in `dependabot.yml`, and Dependabot generates the correct `.npmrc` automatically. This means fewer mysterious failures, less time debugging registry configuration, and more reliable dependency updates out of the box.
### Expected Outcome
We want to eliminate the most common class of npm private registry failures by replacing an unreliable inference mechanism with an explicit, user-defined configuration model. Customers should experience predictable and correct `.npmrc` generation every time, reducing support burden and increasing confidence in Dependabot for enterprise npm workflows. Success looks like a measurable drop in registry-related Dependabot failures and fewer customer-reported issues around private npm registry setups.
