Subject: [PATCH] chore(config): reduce renovate commit frequency to weekly

Consolidates dependency updates to reduce noise:
- Schedule changed to weekly (Monday mornings only)
- All non-major updates grouped into single weekly PR
- Major updates still get individual PRs for review
- Security updates remain immediate (unchanged)

This reduces commit frequency from 10-15/week to ~1-2/week while
maintaining test requirements and security responsiveness.
