Pull request overview
Adds a GitHub Actions workflow intended to automatically approve and enable auto-merge for Dependabot pull requests, limited to non-breaking version bumps.
Changes:
- Introduces a new workflow to fetch Dependabot metadata and conditionally auto-approve/auto-merge PRs.
- Configures job-level permissions needed for PR approval and merging.

- This only enables auto-merge for semver patch updates, but the stated intent is to allow patch + (minor) updates. Also consider using
PR_URLdirectly (it is already set inenv) to avoid relying on the PR number alone.
if: steps.metadata.outputs.update-type == 'version-update:semver-patch'
run: gh pr merge ${{ github.event.pull_request.number }} --squash --auto
