Replaces this repo's dependabot-auto-merge.yml with a call to the shared workflow from appwrite/.github#132, pinned to its merge commit.

The shared gate runs after each workflow a PR triggers, from the default branch, so a PR can't change it. For a Dependabot patch or minor update it waits for every workflow run, check run and commit status on the exact head SHA, approves when all of them pass, and merges with --match-head-commit. Majors and failures stay for a human. Because it merges directly, the repo doesn't need Allow auto-merge or required status checks.

Adds cooldown: default-days: 7 to every update entry, matching appwrite/appwrite, so a release is a week old before Dependabot proposes it. That gives a compromised release time to get yanked before it's auto-merged. Security updates ignore cooldown.

Part of fixing Dependabot auto-merge across both orgs: 0 bot merges in 30 days, 266 open PRs.

🟢 Tier S · Ready to merge

The newly added workflow-run read permission resolves the outstanding access issue, and no new problems were found in this increment.

Dependabot updates now have a seven-day default cooldown for npm and GitHub Actions, while security updates remain exempt. The repository delegates eligible patch/minor PR approval and merging to a pinned shared workflow, with read access to workflow runs, checks, and statuses and write access needed to approve and merge.

Latest changes: The workflow now grants actions: read so the shared gate can inspect workflow runs.
