+# Runs Renovate daily to surface newly-published advisories via OSV.dev
+# (osvVulnerabilityAlerts) and open routine update PRs on a weekly batch
+# schedule (see renovate.json §schedule). Security/vulnerability PRs are
+# raised immediately regardless of the weekly schedule window.

+#   RENOVATE_TOKEN  — PAT with scopes: contents + pull_request + issues
+#                     Belongs to a dedicated bot account. Branch protection
+#                     on main must forbid this bot pushing directly.
+#
+# Platform config is injected via env vars below; the renovate.json in the
+# repo root carries only dependency rules (no platform/endpoint/repos).

+# Digest pin: renovatebot/github-action@8217b3fc286df088d7c27f3255fe8414463bc0fd
+# corresponds to release v46.1.15. Update by bumping both the digest and the
+# renovate-version when Renovate publishes a new release. Renovate itself
+# will open a PR to bump this digest once it runs.
