ci: drop the two dependabot labels this repo does not have

+CI configuration only — this PR ships nothing to HotCRM users, so the
+frontmatter above is deliberately empty (the sanctioned "releases nothing"
+declaration that `.github/workflows/changeset-check.yml` documents, on par with
+the `skip-changeset` label). No `src/` metadata changed: no object, field, view,
+label, or hook handler logic.
+
+`.github/dependabot.yml` asked for two labels this repository does not have.
+The npm block requested `automated` and the GitHub-Actions block requested
+`github-actions`; neither is declared in `.github/labels.yml` — "the single
+source of truth for this repository's labels" — and neither exists in the repo.
+Dependabot cannot create labels, so it failed the whole labelling step and said
+so in its first comment on every PR it opened, from #1058 (2026-08-10) onward.
+
+The reason this survived a month is that the failure was **unfalsifiable from
+Dependabot's own error message**: the bot reports that *a* label could not be
+applied, never *which* one. Deleting `automated` alone — the single name the
+filed issue named — would have left the notice repeating with nothing new to
+read, and no way to tell whether the fix had worked. Establishing that
+`github-actions` was also missing required checking each referenced name against
+the repository's actual label set, not reading the notice more carefully.
+
+Both names are dropped rather than created. `dependencies` already marks these
+PRs and is enough to filter them, and `.github/labels.yml` governs the taxonomy
+by design ("no ad-hoc labels"), so the config is brought to the manifest rather
+than the manifest widened to the config. Both blocks now request only
+`dependencies` and `skip-changeset`, which do exist, so Dependabot's labelling
+step succeeds and its PRs become filterable.
