The workflow that runs Renovate for this organisation is
renovate.yml. This repository carries a shorterci.ymlthat checks it; the fleet is being converged on one file so that every runner is checked the same way.Three of the differences are substantive: the self-test, top-level
extendsresolution, andcurl -sSfLwhere the shorter file used-sSL(curl exits 0 on an HTTP error and pipes the error page onward).This replaces it with the proven file.
Every step states what it proves and what it does not:
actionlint. Does not prove any referenced action exists.git ls-remote, so no token and no API budget. This is the step with teeth on the pull requests that actually arrive here.config.jsas global config anddefault.json/renovate.jsonas repo config, each validated alone in an empty directory, becauserenovatebot/github-actionmounts the configuration file by itself.extendspreset resolves — the one case the validator provably skips.Two limits of
renovate-config-validatorare documented in the file rather than glossed, both re-measured againstrenovate@latestat [2026-08-31 19:37:55 CEST]: it does not catch"matchUpdateTypes": "minor"where an array is required, and it does not resolve a top-levelextends, which is the only form this fleet uses. A check whose blind spots are unstated converts an absence into false assurance.--dry-runwas measured and rejected: it is not architecturally read-only.Prepared [2026-08-31 19:37:55 CEST]. All five steps were run locally against this repository before this branch was pushed, and the self-test was verified to fail on a known-bad config.
