Add target-branch: "dependabot" to both update configs (npm + github-actions) so Dependabot opens PRs against a staging branch instead of main, allowing dependency bumps to be tested before merging. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
Adds
target-branch: "dependabot-reqs"to both Dependabot update configs (npm + github-actions) so Dependabot opens its PRs against thedependabot-reqsstaging branch instead ofmain.Why
Lets dependency bumps be tested on a staging branch before reaching
main, instead of landing (or auto-merging) directly — guards against regressions like the Tailwind v3→v4 bump that blacked out the war map (CI didn't validate the built CSS).dependabot-reqsis used rather thandependabotto avoid colliding with thedependabot/*branch namespace Dependabot uses for its own PR branches.Status
The
dependabot-reqsbranch already exists, so this is ready to merge. Flow after merge: Dependabot → PRs intodependabot-reqs→ test → mergedependabot-reqs→main(then re-syncdependabot-reqswithmain).🤖 Generated with Claude Code
