Research direction

Look for existing GitHub Actions workflows in .github/workflows and any existing Dependabot configuration in .github/dependabot.yml. The goal is to create a configuration that opens separate pull requests for production and development dependencies across the monorepo packages. Check the repository's package.json files to understand the dependency structure. Test by pushing a branch with the config and verifying Dependabot opens the expected PRs.
