fix(renovate): remove invalid baseBranches and add config validator#838
Merged
Conversation
Renovate stopped opening dependency PRs because renovate.json on develop failed validation: baseBranches was set to ["develop"], which equals the repo's own default branch and is rejected by recent Renovate versions. Remove baseBranches to let Renovate infer the default branch automatically. Restore :semanticCommits to preserve conventional-commit style on dependency PRs. Add a GitHub Actions workflow to validate renovate.json on every PR or push that touches it, catching future config regressions before they merge. Closes: #824
Replace invalid 'additionalLabels' with 'addLabels' in renovate.json packageRules. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
