What changed
.github/renovate.jsonc:dependencyDashboardApprovalis nowfalseat the top level. Minor and patch updates open their pull request once they pass the three-dayminimumReleaseAgefrom Apply the three-day release age to every Renovate update #238.majorpackage rule) and lock file maintenance keepdependencyDashboardApproval: true. Lock file maintenance refreshes transitive versions that the age rule cannot check.prConcurrentLimit: 2, security remediation opens immediately.docs/testing.mddescribes the new flow.Why
With approval on every update, a routine patch only moves after someone revisits the dashboard on the right day. The approval checkbox does not appear until the release is old enough. For example, the 2026-10-28 Tauri plugin releases sit under "Pending Status Checks" with no approve box until about 2026-10-31 00:04 UTC. Opening minor and patch proposals automatically turns the pull request itself into the signal. Renovate pull requests stay proposals and are recreated as maintainer commits, as
docs/testing.mdalready requires.Validation
dependencyDashboardApprovalis a standard option at the top level, inlockFileMaintenanceand in package rules. Renovate reports a config error on the dashboard if it rejects one.
