fix: use github-actions (hyphen) label to match Dependabot convention#13
Conversation
Dependabot's documented ecosystem label is `github-actions` (hyphen), not `github_actions` (underscore). The underscore form was derived from Dependabot's internal branch path and caused duplicate labels in consumer repos that already had the canonical hyphenated label. The case pattern (dependabot/github_actions/*) matches the branch path and remains unchanged. Fixes #9
The prerequisite list instructed consumers to create a `github_actions` (underscore) label, which conflicted with Dependabot's documented `github-actions` (hyphen) label. Consumers following setup ended up with duplicate labels. Refs #9
