What you expected to see, versus what you actually saw

I would like the PR to clear, but i get:

Your .github/dependabot.yml contained invalid details
Dependabot encountered the following error when parsing your .github/dependabot.yml:

The property '#/updates/1/directory' of type array did not match the following type: string
The property '#/updates/2/directory' of type array did not match the following type: string
Please update the config file to conform with Dependabot's specification.

Native package manager behavior

No response

Images of the diff or a link to the PR, issue, or logs

because its a private company repo and this is company time i can neither provide a minimal manifest (time) not the full diff of the PR.

But i can show this

There was no change on the dependabot.yml and it worked fine before, also there are mutliple other PRs open with the same exact yml and they also work fine.

rerunning the github action leads to the same result
