chore: make Dependabot auto-merge ecosystem-aware#147
Merged
Conversation
Small bumps and major GitHub Actions bumps auto-merge once CI passes, but major npm and pip bumps are held for manual review because a breaking runtime change could pass lint and build and still deploy to production. Adds the Repo maintenance workflow to delete merged branches the token could not clean up. Previously major bumps were skipped.

What
Upgrades Dependabot auto-merge so updates flow without leaving major bumps stuck, while keeping the app safe.
Behaviour
npm/pipbumps: held for manual review - a breaking runtime change could pass ruff, pytest and the Next.js build yet still deploy to Render/Vercel. These need a human.automergelabel.Previously the workflow skipped all major bumps.
Also adds a
Repo maintenanceworkflow (update-pr-branches.yml) to delete merged PR branches theGITHUB_TOKENmerge could not clean up.Only workflow files and the CHANGELOG are touched.
