Previously we removed all labels.

Based on Dependabot docs we can specify the labels applied. Previously Dependabot was applying major, minor', or patchlabels based on the version of dependency updates. This was causing conflicts with our auto releasing. If those labels were present they were being applied to our releases. This is not what we want. We are chaning to just note the package type (i.e., go, github_actions, etc) anddependencies`, in case we ever need to filter in the UI.

Pull Request Overview

Updates Dependabot configuration to apply specific labels to dependency updates instead of using empty label arrays. This change prevents automatic version-based labels (major/minor/patch) from interfering with the project's auto-release process.

  • Adds package-type specific labels ("go", "github_actions") and a general "dependencies" label
  • Removes empty label arrays that were preventing default Dependabot labeling behavior
