Prune dead npm minor/patch automerge presets, document policy

npm minor/patch updates are disabled and handled by weekly lockFileMaintenance,
so the eslint/sass automerge presets (scoped to minor/patch only) could never
fire. Remove them; their updates still auto-merge via the lockfile PR, and their
majors now surface as reviewable PRs per policy.

Wire the missing automerge-typescript preset into automerge-common so TypeScript
majors auto-merge on green CI as intended.

Add a README documenting the update policy, auto-merge safety model, and
supply-chain hardening.

+# renovate-config
+
+Shared [Renovate](https://docs.renovatebot.com/) presets used across my repositories.
+
+## Usage
+
+In a repository's `renovate.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
+  "extends": [
+    "local>iac/renovate-config",
+    "local>iac/renovate-config//automerge-common"
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+- `local>iac/renovate-config` resolves to [`default.json`](default.json).
+- Add `//automerge-common` to opt the repository into the trusted auto-merge list.
+
+## Update policy
+
+The goal is to stay current without being flooded by pull requests, while never
+auto-merging anything risky.
+
+| Kind of update | What happens |
+| --- | --- |
+| **In-range minor/patch** (npm) | No individual PR. Pulled in weekly by `lockFileMaintenance`, which auto-merges on green CI. |
+| **Security vulnerabilities** | A PR is opened immediately, bypassing the 5-day cooldown. |
+| **Majors / out-of-range / pinned** | A PR is opened so it can be reviewed. **Not** auto-merged... |
+| **...unless the package is a trusted exception** | Auto-merged, but only if CI passes (see below). |
+
+### Why npm minor/patch have no PRs
+
+`default.json` disables individual npm/pnpm/yarn minor and patch updates. Those
+versions already satisfy the semver ranges in `package.json`, so
+`lockFileMaintenance` refreshes them in the lockfile once a week and auto-merges
+the result. Opening a PR per package would just be noise.
+
+> This relies on `package.json` using version *ranges* (e.g. `^1.2.3`). A
+> dependency pinned to an exact version cannot be moved by lock file
+> maintenance and will only update through a (reviewable) major/out-of-range PR.
+
+### How auto-merge stays safe
+
+Every consuming repository has a CI pipeline. Auto-merge uses
+`automergeType: "branch"`:
+
+1. Renovate pushes the update to a branch.
+2. CI runs on that branch.
+3. **CI passes** → merged silently, no PR.
+4. **CI fails** → a PR is opened instead, so the failure is visible.
+
+An update can therefore only ever auto-merge on green CI.
+
+### Supply-chain hardening
+
+- `minimumReleaseAge: "5 days"` — a freshly published release must age 5 days
+  before it is considered, mitigating compromised-release attacks.
+- `vulnerabilityAlerts.minimumReleaseAge: "0"` — security fixes skip the
+  cooldown so they land as fast as possible.
+- `osvVulnerabilityAlerts` + `:enableVulnerabilityAlerts` + merge-confidence
+  scoring drive vulnerability detection.
+
+## Presets
+
+| Preset | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| [`default.json`](default.json) | Base configuration extended by every repo. |
+| [`automerge-common.json`](automerge-common.json) | Wires in all the auto-merge exception presets below. |
+| [`automerge-bootstrap.json`](automerge-bootstrap.json) | Trust `bootstrap`, `bootstrap-icons`. |
+| [`automerge-docker.json`](automerge-docker.json) | Trust `alpine`, `go` base images. |
+| [`automerge-go.json`](automerge-go.json) | Trust a curated set of Go modules (minor/patch); schedule AWS SDK bumps; run `go mod tidy`. |
+| [`automerge-sveltekit.json`](automerge-sveltekit.json) | Trust SvelteKit and related packages. |
+| [`automerge-typescript.json`](automerge-typescript.json) | Trust `typescript`. |
+| [`replacement-sveltestrap.json`](replacement-sveltestrap.json) | Migrate `sveltestrap` → `@sveltestrap/sveltestrap`. |
+| [`replacement-eslint-plugin-svelte.json`](replacement-eslint-plugin-svelte.json) | Migrate `eslint-plugin-svelte3` → `eslint-plugin-svelte`. |
+
+Trusted npm exceptions (typescript, sveltekit, bootstrap) auto-merge **all**
+update types including majors — their minor/patch bumps are already handled by
+lock file maintenance, so in practice the preset only fires for majors. Go and
+Docker presets are unaffected by the npm minor/patch policy and auto-merge as
+configured in their files.
