Add Dependabot (or Renovate) for dependency updates

[ChrisonSimtian]

Why

Part of the enterprise-grade supply-chain story. Manual NuGet dependency tracking is a non-starter for a project with ~30 direct deps + hundreds of transitives, and the recent CVE-2026-33116 / Scriban incident showed vulnerable deps land on develop and sit until someone notices.

Scope

• Decide: Dependabot vs Renovate. Dependabot is simpler and GitHub-native; Renovate is more powerful (grouping, schedule, custom managers) but needs an app install. Default: Dependabot for speed-to-value; revisit Renovate if grouping/scheduling becomes a problem.
• Configure for: nuget (Directory.Packages.props), github-actions (.github/workflows/*.yml), and the dotnet SDK version (global.json).
• Schedule: weekly bundled PRs by ecosystem; daily for security advisories.
• Auto-merge: not initially. Triage manually until the CI release pipeline is trustworthy.

Done when

• .github/dependabot.yml (or renovate.json) committed
• First batch of update PRs landed
• Decision documented in CLAUDE.md / docs
