Problem
Our renovate configuration is still having trouble with not running the pnpmfile.cjs script and it keeps knocking TypeScript back down to a much older version.
Description
Instead of continuing to tinker with Renovate (which is a distraction at this point), we can just use dependabot for the pnpm dependencies and leave Renovate on for the rest (namely GH actions).
Alternatives
Turn off renovate completely for now and just use dependabot for everything in the frontend with the goal of eventually moving back to Renovate in the future when we have more bandwidth to tinker with the configuration and/or stand up an actual self-hosted Renovate instance for ourselves.
