The new configuration will only check dependencies in /packages/react/ but won't update @primer/* and @github/* dependencies in the root package.json. The root package.json contains @primer/stylelint-config and several @github/* packages (e.g., @github/axe-github, @github/markdownlint-github, @github/mini-throttle, @github/prettier-config) that won't be covered by this new daily schedule.

Consider adding an ignore configuration to the existing root directory block (lines 27-65) to exclude @primer/* and @github/* packages there, ensuring they're only managed by this new configuration. Alternatively, change the directory to '/' instead of '/packages/react/' if you want to update all @primer/* and @github/* dependencies across the entire repository.

The existing configuration for the root directory (line 28) will still attempt to update @primer/* and @github/* dependencies on a weekly schedule, potentially conflicting with the new daily schedule. This could result in duplicate PRs or unexpected behavior.

Add an ignore section to the root directory configuration to exclude @primer/* and @github/* dependencies:

- package-ecosystem: 'npm'
  directory: '/'
  schedule:
    interval: 'weekly'
  versioning-strategy: increase
  labels:
    - 'dependencies'
    - 'skip changeset'
  ignore:
    - dependency-name: '@primer/*'
    - dependency-name: '@github/*'
  groups:
    # ... rest of configuration
