Subject: [PATCH] ci: add Dependabot to patch the bundled Electron/Chromium
 runtime
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Input Viewer is an Electron app: input_viewer_electron pins electron
42.3.3, i.e. a full Chromium runtime shipped inside the app on the
videowall PC. That host is patched by win_updates + `winget upgrade`
(labs-windows-mgmt), neither of which can see a runtime bundled inside
this app — so Chromium security fixes only reach the videowall when
Input Viewer is rebuilt with a newer Electron, and nothing currently
prompts that rebuild.

Add .github/dependabot.yml so the electron pin (and the rest of the
toolchain) moves with upstream releases, plus github-actions hygiene.
The electron packages are grouped so runtime bumps land as coherent PRs.
