Renovate's [Dependency Dashboard](https://github.com/ginbing/GSwitch/issues/110)
is the intake queue for routine npm, Cargo, and GitHub Actions updates. A
routine update creates a branch only after dashboard approval and once the
release is at least three days old; recreating one by hand follows the same
age rule. Renovate opens security remediation PRs immediately, without
automerge; GitHub Dependabot Alerts remain a signal but Dependabot Security
Updates PRs are disabled.
lists routine npm, Cargo, and GitHub Actions updates. Minor and patch updates
open a pull request once the release is at least three days old, at most two
at a time. Major updates and lock file maintenance also wait for dashboard
approval. Recreating an update by hand follows the same age rule. Renovate
opens security remediation PRs immediately, without automerge; GitHub
Dependabot Alerts remain a signal but Dependabot Security Updates PRs are
disabled.

A Renovate pull request is a proposal, not a merge candidate. Merging it
directly records the bot as a commit author and lists it as a contributor.
