Switches dependabot from daily/per-package to weekly/grouped so routine dep maintenance consolidates into a single PR instead of spamming 5+ at a time (we manually batched them in #34 and #40). - gomod: weekly Monday runs. Minor + patch bumps ride together in one "go-deps" group PR. Major bumps still open individually (API changes warrant per-dep review). Security advisories open per-package so triage isn't blocked on unrelated minors. - github-actions: weekly Monday, grouped. We hadn't had any action bumps open so this is purely preventive. - Removed the stock "Please see docs" comment block (noise). open-pull-requests-limit caps are set so a burst of major bumps can't flood the queue.

Summary
Switches dependabot from daily/per-package to weekly/grouped so routine dep maintenance consolidates into a single PR instead of spamming 5+ at a time. We manually batched them in #34 and #40 — this makes that the default.
Config
```yaml
schedule: weekly, Monday
open-pull-requests-limit: 5
groups:
go-deps: # minor + patch together
applies-to: version-updates
update-types: [minor, patch]
go-security: # per-package so triage isn't blocked
applies-to: security-updates
patterns: ["*"]
schedule: weekly, Monday
groups:
actions: { patterns: ["*"] }
```
Behavior
`open-pull-requests-limit` caps protect against a burst of majors flooding the queue.
