Replace Dependabot version updates and its approval/auto-merge workflow with the hosted Renovate GitHub App. Adapt CanvasTimeline's configuration to this site's dependencies, using the same conventions as Cliparr and Hermes.

• Update npm/pnpm dependencies and GitHub Actions on Saturdays, midnight–5 a.m. America/New_York, with at most three open PRs.
• Wait seven days for npm releases, group minor/patch updates, and maintain the pnpm lockfile weekly while preserving existing manifest ranges.
• Keep major updates separate except for related React, Astro/Cloudflare, Sentry, and Vite packages. Disable the Dependency Dashboard and require manual merges.

Workflow change: the Dependabot automatic approval/merge policy is removed. Major dependency upgrades can contain breaking changes and still require review. The Renovate App is already installed for all TechSquidTV repositories; this config activates after merge. Existing Dependabot PRs should be retired after cutover.

Validation: Renovate config validator passed in strict repository mode; Prettier, CSpell, and diff whitespace checks passed. GitHub's Validate job passed formatting, lint, unused-code checks, spelling, unit tests, and the type-check/production build on the current commit. The obsolete Netlify project was unlinked, and an empty CI-refresh commit confirmed no Netlify checks run. Cloudflare production deployment is correctly skipped for pull requests. No dependency versions or application files changed.
