This change restores a valid Dependabot configuration that was broken in #3990 (see the failing GHA run: 57824321555).

Because GitHub does not validate Dependabot configuration files before merge, the fix is based entirely on the documented format and examples in the Dependabot options reference.

Note: Dependabot appears to interpret the exclude-paths key differently from directories; unlike directories, exclude-paths does not require a leading slash.

Because GitHub does not validate Dependabot configuration files before merge, the fix is based **entirely** on the documented format and examples in the [Dependabot options reference](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/dependabot/working-with-dependabot/dependabot-options-reference#exclude-paths-).
