Quote @-prefixed Dependabot patterns to fix YAML parse failure.
Lines 21 and 26 use unquoted scalars starting with @, which is invalid YAML. The parser fails with "found character '@' that cannot start any token" and prevents Dependabot from loading the config.

This secret-scan job will fail in organization-owned repositories because gitleaks/gitleaks-action@v2 requires a GITLEAKS_LICENSE environment variable in that context; only GITHUB_TOKEN is currently provided. In org repos this turns the new security workflow red on every run (PR/push/schedule), which can block merges if required checks are enabled.
