Bumps the pinned zmaril/housekeeping action to v0.21.0 (release notes).

Originally opened against v0.20.0 and repointed — v0.21.0 supersedes it. (The branch name still says v0.20.0; renaming it would mean a new PR, so it's left alone.)

Why not v0.20.0

Rolling v0.20.0 across the fleet surfaced three defects, two of which made its own housekeeper fix unsafe to run:

  • fix ci-exists overwrote existing CI. It wrote .github/workflows/ci.yml with no existence guard, so on a repo whose CI merely lacked one language's test step it replaced the entire hand-written workflow with a generic stub.
  • lockfiles demanded a lockfile that cannot exist. A dependency-free package has none to produce — bun deletes an empty one outright — so the only way to pass was to fabricate a foreign lockfile.
  • repo-meta parsed its own documentation. A README documenting the marker syntax had its fenced example read as the declaration, so fix repo-meta would push a placeholder over the repo's real description and topics.

All three are fixed in v0.21.0, along with a new [lockfiles] ignore escape hatch for packages that keep lockfiles untracked on purpose.

What this changes here

v0.21.0 also adds strict-status-checks (required): the default branch must require branches be up to date before merging. That setting has already been enabled on this repo's ruleset, along with allow_update_branch, so this check passes.

v0.20.0's stricter nested-aware detection still applies — lockfiles, dependabot, ci-exists, coverage and gitignore now grade nested packages per-directory. Any remaining failure on this PR is a genuine gap, not a tooling bug.

Draft on purpose: housekeeping is a required status check here, so confirm the run is green before merging.

Picks up the checks and verdict changes released in v0.20.0.
GitHub's allow_auto_merge is on for this repo, so declare it here to match.
This key is only understood by housekeeping v0.20.0, which is why it ships in
the same PR as the version bump: on v0.19.0 the config check rejects it as an
unknown key.
housekeeping v0.20.0 grades each detected package per-directory rather than
probing only the repo root, so nested manifests that were previously invisible
to the dependabot check now need their own update entry.
housekeeping v0.20.0 grades nested packages per-directory, so the typescript
adapter is now checked — but it gitignores package-lock.json on purpose.
Declare the exemption instead of committing a lockfile the repo has always
chosen not to track.
v0.21.0 supersedes v0.20.0: it adds the strict-status-checks check and fixes
three v0.20.0 defects, two of which made that release's own fixes unsafe to run.
