Apply the type: chore label automatically to Dependabot-generated dependency update pull requests.
Context
Dependabot updates should be classified consistently so triage and automation can identify them as maintenance work. This change adds the standard chore label directly in the Dependabot configuration.
Changes
Added labels: ["type: chore"] to the Cargo Dependabot update configuration
Added labels: ["type: chore"] to the GitHub Actions Dependabot update configuration
Key Implementation Details
The label is configured at the update block level in .github/dependabot.yml, so every PR opened by those Dependabot update jobs inherits the same label automatically.
Testing
Review .github/dependabot.yml and confirm both update entries include labels: ["type: chore"]
Allow the next Dependabot Cargo or GitHub Actions PR to open and verify GitHub applies the type: chore label automatically
