# Description of Changes
This pull request updates dependency management and CI/CD configurations
to improve automation, security, and maintainability. The most
significant changes include expanding Dependabot coverage to more
directories and ecosystems, updating pre-commit and Python dependency
versions, and pinning action versions in GitHub workflows for better
reproducibility and security.
**Dependency Management Improvements:**
* Expanded Dependabot configuration in `.github/dependabot.yml` to
include additional directories and package ecosystems such as npm,
docker, cargo, and pip, ensuring automated dependency updates across
more parts of the project.
* Updated Python dependencies in
`.github/scripts/requirements_pre_commit.txt` to newer versions for
`cfgv`, `filelock`, `platformdirs`, `pre-commit`, and `virtualenv`,
improving compatibility and security.

`.github/workflows/deploy-on-v2-commit.yml` by using commit SHAs for
actions such as `actions/checkout`, `docker/setup-buildx-action`,
`docker/login-action`, and `docker/build-push-action`, ensuring builds
use known-good versions.

# Description of Changes
This PR mitigates **CVE-2025-8869** (GHSA-4xh5-x5gv-qwph), a
high-severity vulnerability in `pip` ≤ 25.2 that allows arbitrary file
overwrite via unsafe tar extraction in sdist fallback handling.
**What was changed:**
- Added environment variables to all GitHub Actions (`pre_commit.yml`,
`sync_files.yml`) to **enforce binary-only installs**:
- `PIP_ONLY_BINARY=":all:"`
- `PIP_DISABLE_PIP_VERSION_CHECK="1"`
- Updated multiple `.github/scripts/*.txt` requirements to use Python
3.12 as the generation base.
- Upgraded pinned dependencies to latest secure versions:
- `filelock 3.19.1`, `identify 2.6.15`, `platformdirs 4.4.0`, `pyyaml
6.0.3`, `behave 1.3.3`, `pypdf 6.1.1`, `reportlab 4.4.4`, `requests
2.32.5`
- Adjusted file path formatting (`\` → `/`) for consistent
cross-platform compatibility.
**Why the change was made:**
To prevent exploitation of the tar extraction vulnerability in
vulnerable pip versions when installing from source distributions during
CI runs.

# Description of Changes
- Added `testing/**` to `.github/config/.files.yaml` so that changes in
the `testing` directory will trigger the `docker-compose-tests` workflow
in `build.yml`.
- Updated Python dependencies in
`.github/scripts/requirements_pre_commit.txt` and
`testing/cucumber/requirements.txt` to newer versions, including
`behave`, `pypdf`, `reportlab`, and others.
- Introduced new dependencies like `colorama`, `cucumber-expressions`,
`cucumber-tag-expressions`, and `tomli` in the testing requirements to
support enhanced test execution.
- Ensured hash integrity for all dependency updates.
This change was made to ensure that modifications in the testing suite
automatically trigger relevant CI jobs and that testing dependencies
remain up-to-date for compatibility and stability.

# Description of Changes
This PR introduces multiple updates across various files and workflows:
### **What was changed:**
1. **Deleted Scripts:**
- `check_duplicates.py`: Removed script that checked for duplicate keys
in properties files.
- `check_tabulator.py`: Removed script that ensured no tabulators
existed in HTML, CSS, or JS files.
2. **Updated GitHub Actions Workflow (`pre_commit.yml`):**
- Added a weekly schedule trigger (`cron`) for the pre-commit workflow.
- Updated the `create-pull-request` action to exclude certain files
(`.github/workflows/.*`) from formatting.
- Improved detection and handling of staged changes during commit
creation.
3. **`.pre-commit-config.yaml`:**
- Adjusted regex for file matching in `ruff` and `codespell` hooks to
ensure better file filtering.
- Removed local hooks that relied on deleted scripts.
4. **Scripts (`counter_translation.py`):**
- Updated file writing methods to enforce consistent newline characters
(`newline="\n"`).
### **Why the change was made:**
- To simplify the repository by removing unnecessary or outdated scripts
(`check_duplicates.py` and `check_tabulator.py`).
- To enhance the workflow automation by introducing a scheduled run for
pre-commit checks.
- To improve code formatting and file consistency by addressing newline
character issues and refining file exclusions in `pre-commit`.
### **Challenges encountered:**
- Ensuring that all references to deleted scripts were properly removed
from configuration files.
- Verifying that workflow and pre-commit changes do not introduce
regressions in existing automation.
Closes # (issue_number)

# Description
Improvement in `check_language_properties.py`:
Added support for local Windows commands to check language properties
files with an updated script.
Added a new optional argument `--check-file` to specify a single file to
check, replacing the need to process all files in the directory.
Adjusted file path handling to better support Windows paths.
Update to `update-translations.yml`:
Added `workflow_dispatch` trigger to allow manual execution of the
workflow.
Documentation update in `HowToAddNewLanguage.md`:
Added instructions for running the language properties check locally on
Windows, including example commands.
These changes streamline the process of checking language properties
files and provide additional flexibility for local testing and manual
workflow triggering.
