Research direction

Start with the repository’s .github/ directory and the Dependabot configuration documentation; the issue identifies .github/dependabot.yml as the relevant file. Add weekly update coverage for the npm and github-actions ecosystems with minor and patch updates grouped. Check that both ecosystems are configured and run npm run typecheck and npm run build.

Description

Summary
