Adopt Renovate, retire Dependabot version updates - #44
Merged
Conversation
Replace Dependabot version-update PRs with Renovate, which covers surfaces Dependabot misses in this repo: the pnpm catalog in pnpm-workspace.yaml, the packageManager pin, .node-version, and the pinned waza CLI version in the eval workflow. - renovate.json mirrors the old Dependabot grouping (github-actions, dev/prod non-major) plus a catalog-toolchain group, runs weekly, and enables lockfile maintenance and a dependency dashboard. - Semantic commits are disabled so update PRs follow this repo's classic commit-message convention rather than Conventional Commits. - Digest, pin, and patch updates automerge once required checks pass. - A custom manager bumps WAZA_VERSION; WAZA_SHA256 stays manual and is guarded by the workflow's existing sha256sum check. Dependabot security alerts and security updates (managed via Pulumi) are unaffected; only the version-update config is removed to avoid duplicate PRs.

Why
Dependabot version updates leave several blind spots in this repo: it doesn't reliably track the pnpm catalog in
pnpm-workspace.yaml, ignores thepackageManagerpin and.node-version, and can't see the pinnedwazaCLI version/checksum in the eval workflow. Renovate covers all of these.What
renovate.jsonmirroring the previous Dependabot setup:github-actions(all),dev-dependencies/prod-dependencies(non-major), and a newcatalog toolchaingroup for the pnpm-catalog tools (oxlint, oxfmt, typescript, @types/node).:semanticCommitsDisabledso update PRs follow this repo's classic commit-message convention (thecommit-messageskill forbids Conventional Commits).digest/pin/patchonce required checks pass (viable here: 0 required approvals +Static Analysis (self)check,allowAutoMergealready on).WAZA_VERSION(see risk below)..github/dependabot.ymlto avoid duplicate PRs.How to verify

WAZA_SHA256is not auto-updated — no datasource exposes the binary hash. Renovate bumpsWAZA_VERSIONand opens the PR; the checksum must be refreshed by hand. The eval job's existingsha256sum -cguard fails the PR safely if it's forgotten.
