Set up a GitHub Actions workflow that automatically approves and merges Dependabot PRs when CI passes. Stop manually clicking merge on dependency updates.

Automate dependency updates by configuring GitHub Actions to automatically approve and merge Dependabot PRs when CI checks pass. The setup involves three components: branch protection with a test workflow that validates changes through TypeScript type checking and tests, Dependabot configuration to monitor dependencies and create PRs, and an auto-merge workflow that uses the pull_request_target trigger to approve and merge PRs once all required status checks succeed. The workflow requires specific repository settings including enabling auto-merge and granting write permissions to pull requests and repository contents.

Never Review a Dependency Update Again
