Summary

Adds a Renovate packageRule that groups updates to GitHub Actions maintained by GitHub/Microsoft (matching the actions/* and github/* namespaces). Third-party actions (e.g. gradle/actions, release-drafter/release-drafter, burrunan/gradle-cache-action, oracle-actions/setup-java) intentionally stay ungrouped, since their release cadence and review context are independent.

The new rule is placed alphabetically by groupName to keep future diffs minimal.

Example of PRs that would collapse into one under this rule, based on the current Dependency Dashboard:

  • actions/github-script v9
  • (future) actions/checkout, actions/setup-java bumps

Test plan

  • renovate.json is valid JSON
  • Renovate dry-run (Mend portal) shows the next actions/* / github/* updates land as a single grouped PR

Reduces Renovate PR noise by grouping updates to GitHub Actions that are
maintained by GitHub/Microsoft. Third-party actions stay ungrouped so
their update cadence and review context remain independent.
