Why

One dependency tool for the platform unless the second does something the first cannot. config:recommended enables the github-actions and dockerfile managers, so coverage is unchanged.

Note on how this was found

This repo was missed in the first sweep — the survey command used head -5 and I read the truncated output as the complete list. Four repos carry dependabot; three are forks whose upstream config is not ours to change, and this is the fourth.

Renovate is the standard because the platforms dependency surface is mostly things dependabot cannot see: 21 ArgoCD Helm chart pins and 11 kustomization newTag fields.

Description

Operator decision: one dependency tool for the platform unless the second
can do something the first cannot.

config:recommended enables the github-actions and dockerfile managers, so
coverage is unchanged.
