Subject: [PATCH] chore: fix release-drafter duplicate entries by removing
 file-based labeler rules
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Remove changed-files rules from type:* labels in labeler.yml — they caused
multiple conflicting labels on a single PR (e.g. feat: PR touching README.md
got both type:feature and type:docs), leading to duplicate release note entries.

Also add Dependency Updates category to release-drafter.yml for Dependabot PRs,
and add 'dependencies' to exclude-labels of all other categories.

Closes #117
