Enable Dependabot alerts for vulnerability detection

[lornakelly]

Summary

Enable GitHub Dependabot vulnerability alerts for the repository so known vulnerable dependencies are automatically detected and surfaced early in the Security tab.

Goals

• Detect vulnerable dependencies automatically via GitHub’s advisory database.
• Surface alerts in Security → Dependabot alerts for maintainers to triage.
• Improve baseline security posture with minimal maintenance overhead.

Non-Goals

• Automatic version update PRs (Dependabot version updates).
• Replacing other security controls (CodeQL, review, etc.).
• Establishing SLA policies for alert remediation in this ticket.
