Adds Dependabot version and security updates, gated auto-merge for patch and minor bumps, and a CI build check.

.github/dependabot.yml checks npm and github-actions weekly on Monday. Minor and patch version bumps are grouped into a single PR per ecosystem, security updates into their own group, and commits use the chore(scope): conventional prefix.

.github/workflows/dependabot-auto-merge.yml runs on Dependabot PRs and enables squash auto-merge only for semver-patch and semver-minor updates. Major updates are left for a human to review and merge.

.github/workflows/ci.yml adds a build job on pull requests and pushes to main: Node 22, npm ci, npm run build. Appwrite env vars are set to harmless placeholders so the build can run. Actions are pinned to commit SHAs.

Auto-merge policy: patch and minor updates merge automatically once the required checks pass; majors need a human. Nothing merges automatically until an admin enables "Allow auto-merge" on the repo and adds a ruleset on main requiring the checks below.

Required checks for this repo: build and Hansi.

🟢 Tier S · Ready to merge

Adds weekly Dependabot update groups for npm and GitHub Actions, a build workflow for pull requests and pushes to main, and a workflow that requests auto-merge for Dependabot patch and minor updates. The repository setup notes also specify the branch protection and auto-merge settings needed for merges to proceed.

Findings Hansi considered but did not post.

Finding

Why

Dependabot runs cannot enable auto-merge with this trigger

Verifier: Dependabot-triggered workflows receive a read-only GITHUB_TOKEN by default, but that default can be overridden with explicit workflow permissions. This workflow already requests contents: write and pull-requests: write on lines 5–7 and passes that token to gh on line 25. This is the supported pull_request-based Dependabot auto-merge pattern; the trigger alone does not make those permissions ineffective. No evidence establishes a repository restriction that would prevent the requested permissions.
