What you expected to see, versus what you actually saw
The PR is correct, CI passes, it has been approved, and auto-merge is enabled -- the only thing blocking the auto-merge is that we require our branches to be up to date before merge. The branch is not up to date.
In the past Dependabot will sometimes detect this state and trigger a rebase, but there are some cases where this doesn't happen, for instance: PermanentOrg/sftp-service#757
When that occurs I need to manually rebase each dependabot PR as the others are merged, which is overhead I would love to avoid!
