The old config automerged everything, majors included, straight to master with no pull request: matchPackagePatterns ["*"] matched every package and automergeType "branch" skipped the PR entirely. Nothing reviewed chokidar 4 to 5 or glob 11 to 13; they would have landed unseen. The only reason they did not is that CI was red, so automerge never fired. Fixing CI without fixing this rearms it. Automerge is now limited to dev-dependency minor and patch updates, after a three day soak, and goes through a pull request so the checks actually gate it. Runtime dependencies and every major open a PR for review. typescript was disabled outright, which is why it sat on 5.0.4 for three years: a rule, not neglect. It now takes 6.x updates but is held below 7, which is a real blocker rather than a preference, since typescript-eslint refuses TS 7 and the CLI parses SQL-in-TS through the compiler API that TS 7's native rewrite does not expose. antlr4ts stays disabled because the generated parsers are built against that exact prerelease. Three deprecated syntaxes replaced: config:base is now config:recommended, and matchPackagePatterns and matchPackagePrefixes give way to matchPackageNames with globs. Adds the dependency dashboard, lock file maintenance, and semantic commit messages, that last one so renovate's own commits and PR titles satisfy the commitlint rules this branch introduces.

Third of three stacked PRs. Based on #8, which is based on #7.

typescript was disabled outright
That is why it sat on 5.0.4 for three years — a rule, not neglect. It now takes
6.x updates but is held below 7, which is a real blocker rather than a
preference: typescript-eslint refuses TS 7, and the CLI parses SQL-in-TS through
the compiler API that TS 7's native rewrite does not expose.
antlr4tsstays disabled because the committed parsers are generated againstthat exact prerelease.
