yeasy 4175760d1b ci: drop the two Dependabot auto-merge steps that could never work
Neither step did what its name said, and together they meant no Dependabot PR
was ever auto-merged — the job died before reaching the merge step.

1. "Confirm required checks are configured" failed OPEN. It read branch
   protection, which GITHUB_TOKEN cannot do (administration scope is not even
   a valid permissions key), so gh api returned 403 JSON into REQUIRED and
   `[ "$REQUIRED" -eq 0 ]` died with "integer expression expected". A failing
   test inside an `if` condition is exempt from set -e, so the guard evaluated
   false and let execution continue. A guard whose whole purpose is refusing
   an unsafe merge silently passed whenever it could not check.

2. "Approve low-risk Dependabot PR" can never succeed: GitHub Actions is not
   permitted to approve pull requests. It is also unnecessary — these repos do
   not require reviews.

The real gate is now branch protection, which as of today requires BOTH
check-commit-identity and CI on every repo, and gh pr merge --auto cannot
complete until they pass. That is stronger than the removed probe, which only
checked that some required check existed.

This makes the 13 repos match oc_guide, which already had exactly this shape
and was the only one whose auto-merge was not broken.

prompt_engineering_guide asserted the old step ORDER; its test now asserts the
invariants that still hold — no self-approve attempt, and auto-merge gated on
the low-risk update-type allowlist.
