The grouped dependency updates were causing Dependabot to fail with: - "peer dependencies are incorrectly met" errors - "Couldn't find the node_modules state file" errors This commit removes all dependency groups and switches to a simpler configuration pattern that is proven to work with Yarn 4 workspaces, based on the working configuration in MetaMask/core. Changes: - Remove all 10 dependency groups (vite, metamask, react, etc.) - Add 'allow' lists for high-priority packages (@metamask/*, @agoric/*, @endo/*) - Add github-actions ecosystem monitoring - Keep weekly schedule and other working settings Trade-off: Will receive more individual PRs instead of grouped ones, but Dependabot will actually work and be able to update dependencies.

Package ses excluded from new allow list
Medium Severity
The ses package was explicitly included in the original agoric group alongside @agoric/* and @endo/*, but it's missing from the new allow list. Since ses is a standalone package without a namespace prefix, it won't match @agoric/* or @endo/* patterns. This means the ses package will no longer receive version updates, even though it's part of the same ecosystem the configuration intends to monitor.
