Before: Dependabot opened every bump against master, which only gets release merges. Those PRs targeted the old webpack and Babel tree that dev has since replaced, so they piled up and were never merged.

After: Dependabot opens npm version updates against dev once a week, with minor and patch bumps grouped into one PR. GitHub Actions updates go to dev once a month.

How: Adds .github/dependabot.yml with target-branch: dev for both ecosystems.

Note: target-branch only applies to version updates. Dependabot security updates always target the repo's default branch, which is still master. Making dev the default branch would send those to dev too.
