Phase D of the v0.3 plan (#53): unblocks Dependabot PR #52.

What

  • Revert root tailwindcss to ^3.4.0 (lockfile resolves 3.4.19). Bump the npm-dev-dependencies group across 1 directory with 5 updates #51 bumped it to 4.3.0; CI stayed green only because nothing CI runs touches the root Tailwind install, but the theme's tailwind.config.js and PostCSS pipeline are v3, so the *-tw scripts were silently broken.
  • Add Dependabot ignore rules for tailwindcss major updates in both npm ecosystems (root and /exampleSite).

Why

#52's E2E failure is Tailwind v4 in the exampleSite group bump: v4 moved its PostCSS plugin to @tailwindcss/postcss, so postcss.config.js errors and hugo server never starts — every E2E test fails at webserver startup. The theme is built on v3; a v4 migration is a deliberate future project, separate from the v0.3 spec.

After merge

Comment ·@·d·ependabot r·ecreate on #52 so it regenerates without the v4 bump (Dependabot reads this config from the default branch). The Font Awesome 6→7 major stays in the group — fresh CI on the recreated PR will tell us whether it's safe.

PR #51 bumped the root tailwindcss devDependency to 4.3.0. CI stayed
green only because nothing CI runs uses the root Tailwind install — but
the theme's tailwind.config.js and PostCSS pipeline are v3, so the
*-tw scripts were left broken. Revert to ^3.4.0.

PR #52 fails E2E for the same reason one level down: its group bump
takes exampleSite's tailwindcss to 4.3.0, whose PostCSS plugin moved to
@tailwindcss/postcss, so postcss.config.js errors and hugo server never
starts. Add Dependabot ignore rules for tailwindcss major updates in
both npm ecosystems so the group PR can be recreated without the v4
bump. Tailwind v4 migration is a deliberate future change, tracked
separately from the v0.3 spec (#53).
