Our
renovate.yamlruns onpull_requestwhen the Renovate config changes, and reads that config from the PR branch while still pointing at the real repository with a real token. An unmerged config is applied for real rather than validated. On Slipway this silently autoclosed two dependency PRs, and withprConcurrentLimitat 1 holding the slot, one update was left with no open PR at all.RENOVATE_DRY_RUNis set only forpull_requestruns. Renovate's env parser skips empty values, so scheduled and push runs keep writing as before, anddryRun: fullstill runs the whole extract-and-lookup pipeline, so a broken config still surfaces on the PR.branchNameStrictkeeps dots out of Renovate's branch names. OctoVersion truncates the branch-derived NuGet pre-release tag to 20 characters without regard for SemVer identifier boundaries; when the cut lands on a dot, the version ends in an empty identifier anddotnet packrejects it.The pinned
Octopus.OctoVersion.Toolpredates the fix for that truncation (OctoVersion#331) and moves to 1.1.48, which ships net8.0, net9.0 and net10.0 tool assets.Both changes land together on purpose.
branchNameStrictalone would have this PR's own Renovate run rename branches against the live repository, which is the exact failure this is meant to prevent.Linear: DPT-3109, DPT-3106
