Agree with removing the obsolete [!NOTE] block.

To resolve the remaining scope gap flagged in the automated review, the preceding introductory paragraph should also be updated to encompass both Dependabot and Code Scanning default setup:

OIDC (OpenID Connect) authentication allows {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} and {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} default setup to use short-lived credentials from your cloud identity provider to access private registries, eliminating the need to store long-lived secrets. With OIDC, credentials are generated dynamically for each run. You must configure a trust relationship between your cloud provider and {% data variables.product.github %} before jobs can authenticate.

Once updated, the article will consistently reflect the April 2026 changelog rollout for both features.

Can confirm as the person who did the work on the CS side. I didn't know that this note existed in the docs. This has been supported for quite a while.
