The failure of the "Check markdownlint Configuration" workflow is unrelated to the changes proposed here. That is fixed by #419. |

…files The repository infrastructure validates the project's own as well as the "asset" Dependabot configuration files against the JSON schema. The ajv-cli validator is used to perform the validation. Support for the JSON schema "Draft-04" specification was dropped at the 4.0.0 release of ajv-cli. This means that the previous version (3.3.0) must be used when validating files against a JSON schema based on the "Draft 4" specification. When working with schemas based on newer specification versions, it is preferred to use the latest version of ajv-cli in order to benefit from the ongoing development on the tool. For this reason, two different versions of ajv-cli are used. At the time the system for validating the Dependabot configuration files was set up, that JSON schema was based on the "Draft-04" specification, so ajv-cli 3.3.0 was used. Since that time the schema was updated to "Draft-07" so it is now possible to use the modern ajv-cli for this validation.
