 # renovate
 
-Shared Renovate preset for project repositories. Public on purpose: most project
-repos are private and some are public, and a preset that lives in a private repo
-resolves for the bot only, while leaking the private repo path to everyone else.
-There are no secrets here, only rules.
-
-Use it from a project repo as the whole of its `renovate.jsonc`:
+Shared Renovate preset, public so private repos can extend it. A project's whole `renovate.jsonc`:
 
 ```json
-{
-  "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
-  "extends": ["local>templates/renovate"]
-}
+{ "extends": ["local>templates/renovate"] }
 ```
 
-What it does: docker digests, patches and minors merge themselves after a
-three day wait; docker majors and database majors wait for a click on the
-dependency dashboard; code dependencies (npm, pip, go.mod, actions) are
-collected into one pull request per repo, which merges itself after the same
-three day wait; code majors wait for a click on the dependency dashboard and
-merge themselves once approved. Registries without a release timestamp get the
-`wait-3d` label instead, and the age gate merges those. The edge (`caddy/**`),
-`_legacy/**` and worktree compose files are out of scope.
-
-Updates are split across two base branches. Images target the default branch,
-so an image update deploys as soon as it merges. Code dependencies target
-`dev` and never touch the default branch on their own; you pull `dev` and
-merge it yourself when you want that code in production. The split is two
-`matchBaseBranches` rules, so the same update is never offered on both
-branches. A repo using this preset therefore needs a `dev` branch.
-
-`@biomejs/biome` is held at 2.5.13 for now: 2.5.15 rewrites the quotes inside
-Svelte attribute expressions and breaks the markup. Drop the rule once a fixed
-release is out.
-
-The repo has to carry the `renovate`, `wait-3d` and `deps-code` labels before
-the first run: Renovate fails on a label that does not exist. It also has to
-have a `dev` branch, otherwise Renovate skips that base branch and code
-updates are never proposed.
-
-Extending this preset does NOT subscribe a repo to anything. The bot only visits
-repos listed in `repositories` in its own config
-(`projects/personal/renovate/renovate-config.js` in `infra/komodo`).
-
-`infra/komodo` deliberately does not use this preset: it is the private infra
-repo, its scope is a set of `includePaths` and it only ever looks at
-docker-compose.
+Docker digests, patches and minors automerge after three days into the default branch; code dependencies go into one PR on `dev`; majors wait for the dashboard. The repo needs a `dev` branch, the `renovate`, `wait-3d` and `deps-code` labels, and a line in `repositories` of `projects/personal/renovate/renovate-config.js` in `infra/komodo`. `@biomejs/biome` is held at 2.5.13 (2.5.15 breaks Svelte attribute quotes).
