Summary of Changes

Hello @alimd, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on modernizing and streamlining the project's development and release workflows. It includes significant updates to CI/CD configurations, upgrades to core development dependencies, and a comprehensive cleanup of various configuration and source files. The changes aim to improve maintainability, ensure consistency across the codebase, and prepare for future enhancements by refining the project's structure and tooling.

Highlights

• CI/CD Configuration Updates: Updated Dependabot configuration to remove explicit reviewers, change the commit message prefix to 'deps', adjust the weekly schedule time, and refine dependency grouping and ignore patterns. The Lerna-lite release configuration has been significantly enhanced with new options like useWorkspaces, ignoreChanges, skipBumpOnlyReleases, allowBranch, exact, syncWorkspaceLock, and private flags, alongside a more descriptive changelog preset featuring emoji-based sections.
• Dependency Upgrades: Key development dependencies have been upgraded, including Prettier to 3.6.2, TypeScript to 5.9.2, and various Lerna-lite and ESLint-related packages to their latest versions, ensuring the project uses up-to-date tooling.
• Codebase Cleanup and Consistency: Removed deprecated files such as .github/copilot-instruction.md and deploy/_data from .gitignore. The .eslintignore file now includes .mjs and .cjs extensions. VSCode recommendations (.vscode/extensions.json) have been streamlined by removing several extensions, and cSpell.words in .vscode/settings.json has been updated with new terms.
• Project Structure Refinement: The packages/alwatr/package.json has been reorganized, and its nanolib exports have been streamlined by consolidating dedupe.ts, exit-hook.ts, and node-fs.ts into a single nanolib/node.ts entry point. The .github/CODEOWNERS file was updated to reflect the correct casing for the author's username.
• New Issue Label: A new label named 'jules' with a green color and description 'Issues related to the Google Jules AI agent.' has been added to .github/labels.yml.
