Background
Renovate has been installed since January and has never raised a PR. The schedule in
renovate-dependencies.ymlis commented out andrenovate.jsonholds nothing but a schemareference. Every dependency bump in the history was written by hand, including the ones that
closed advisories.
Dependabot fills part of that gap on paper. Its PRs never build, though. The
pullRequestsbuild feature on the
Calamari GitHub Configurationtemplate filters toMEMBER, anddependabotis not an org member, so its branches get GitGuardian and the CLA check andnothing from TeamCity. Twelve of its PRs have been raised and none merged. Self hosted
Renovate raises PRs as the account behind
RENOVATE_GITHUB_TOKEN, which reaches the fullchain when that account is a member.

General quality. The one judgement call is the grouping, which trades PR count for review
granularity.
Reducing risk
RENOVATE_GITHUB_TOKENbelongs to an org member before turning the schedule on.A non member token reproduces the Dependabot dead end.
