Replace third-party ahmadnassri action + WAOS PAT with official approach: - Use dependabot/fetch-metadata@v2 to detect update type - Auto-approve and enable auto-merge for patch/minor updates only - Use GITHUB_TOKEN instead of WAOS PAT (auto-merge enabled on repo) - Gate on github.actor == 'dependabot[bot]' to avoid running on all PRs - Remove unused issues: write permission

Summary
Replace the outdated third-party action with the official GitHub-recommended approach:
ahmadnassri/action-dependabot-auto-merge@v2+WAOSPAT →dependabot/fetch-metadata@v2+GITHUB_TOKENif: github.actor == 'dependabot[bot]'guard — workflow no longer runs on all PRsgh pr review --approve) before enabling auto-mergeissues: writepermissionWhy
WAOSPAT is a personal token with expiry risk;GITHUB_TOKENis sufficient since auto-merge is enabled on the repoahmadnassriaction is unmaintained and uses deprecated patternsdependabot[bot]guard prevents the workflow from triggering on non-Dependabot PRsTest plan
