# renovate-config

One Renovate preset, shared by every app on the [Bennett platform](../platform).

Apps carry a three-line `renovate.json`:

```json
{ "extends": ["local>austin/renovate-config"] }
```

Rules used to be copied into each repo, which meant they were identical only by luck — and a change was
six edits. The Testcontainers guard, for instance, existed in two repos and not the other four.

## What it says

- **Platform releases automerge.** They are our own code, tested and scanned before publish, and the
  app's own build still gates the image push. Third-party majors do not automerge.
- **Testcontainers majors are off.** 2.0 renamed the module artifacts, so the POM will not even parse.
- **TypeScript and ESLint majors are off**, and this is temporary. They are blocked upstream:
  `typescript-eslint` peers at `typescript <6.1`, `eslint-plugin-react` peers at `eslint <=9.7`.
  Re-enable when those ship support — the code itself is ready, it builds clean on TypeScript 7.

Changing a rule here changes it everywhere on Renovate's next run.
