Subject: [PATCH] ci: switch renovate automerge from branches to prs

**Changed:**

- Renovate automerge behavior now uses pull requests instead of direct branch automerge, keeping dependency updates visible before merge

**Removed:**

- Branch automerge preset from Renovate configuration to avoid conflicting with PR-based automerge
