🔧 Recent Fixes

Commit 6d06d4f - YAML Formatting

Fixed YAML formatting issues across all configuration files:

• ✅ Removed trailing spaces from all workflow files
• ✅ Fixed line length issues - broke long lines to stay under 80 characters
• ✅ Fixed indentation in labeler.yml (proper 6-space indentation for nested lists)
• ✅ Fixed comment formatting in dependabot.yml and workflows
• ✅ Validated all YAML files - all files now parse correctly

Commit (latest) - Dependabot Fix

Fixed critical dependabot.yml configuration error:

• ✅ Removed null ignore property - The ignore key with only commented entries was causing Dependabot to fail
• ✅ Added proper comment guidance - Clear instructions on how to use ignore if needed
• ✅ Validated configuration - Confirmed YAML parses correctly and no null properties exist
