## What changed
|
||||
|
||||
The operator ran the Renovate workflow manually and it **failed**. The cause is not the workflow:
|
||||
**`renovate.json` was never a valid Renovate config.**
|
||||
|
||||
It carried five pseudo-comment keys — `_comment`, `_kubernetes_comment`, `_unmanageable_comment`,
|
||||
`_ignorePaths_comment`, `_docker_comment` — because JSON has no comments. Renovate **rejects unknown
|
||||
top-level options**, so the entire config failed validation. Proven with the official validator
|
||||
rather than inferred:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ podman run --rm -v "$PWD/renovate.json:/tmp/renovate.json:ro,Z" \
|
||||
ghcr.io/renovatebot/renovate renovate-config-validator /tmp/renovate.json
|
||||
ERROR: Found errors in configuration
|
||||
Invalid configuration option: _comment
|
||||
Invalid configuration option: _docker_comment
|
||||
Invalid configuration option: _ignorePaths_comment
|
||||
Invalid configuration option: _kubernetes_comment
|
||||
Invalid configuration option: _unmanageable_comment
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is the second independent reason Renovate had never worked, on top of PR #77's cron firing
|
||||
outside `renovate.json`'s own schedule window. Either alone was sufficient to produce "nothing ever
|
||||
happens"; #73 shipped both.
|
||||
|
||||
**Converted `renovate.json` → `renovate.json5`.** JSON5 permits real `//` comments, and Renovate
|
||||
discovers `renovate.json5` natively — nothing in `.gitea/` or `ci/` pins the old filename (only
|
||||
prose inside comments), and no `RENOVATE_CONFIG_FILE` is set. Every word of the original rationale
|
||||
is preserved as comments positioned next to what it explains, which a flattened `description`
|
||||
string would have lost.
|
||||
|
||||
A header on the new file records the failure, the validator command, and the instruction to run it
|
||||
before committing — this class of bug is invisible to the repo's own gate.
|
||||
|
||||
## What I verified
|
||||
|
||||
* **The exact failure**, from the official validator, quoted above. Not read off a log, not inferred
|
||||
from the workflow.
|
||||
* **The fix validates**: the same validator against `renovate.json5` returns
|
||||
`INFO: Config validated successfully against 1 file(s)`.
|
||||
* **Nothing was dropped in the conversion**, checked programmatically against `git show
|
||||
HEAD:renovate.json`: 18 non-comment keys before, 18 after, **no missing keys, no extra keys, and
|
||||
no key whose value changed**. `docker: {enabled: true}` confirmed still present — the validator
|
||||
prints a normalisation diff that mentions it, which is its own migration suggestion, not a
|
||||
removal.
|
||||
* **74 comment lines survive** in the new file, so the rationale is intact.
|
||||
* **`RENOVATE_TOKEN` exists** as a repository Actions secret (listed by name via the Gitea API), so
|
||||
the workflow's fail-hard preflight is satisfied.
|
||||
* **A suspicion was DISPROVED:** `enabledManagers` containing bare `regex` was thought to need to be
|
||||
`custom.regex`, which would have silently disabled every inline `# renovate:` marker. The
|
||||
validator accepts `regex`, so that concern was unfounded and nothing here changes it.
|
||||
* Nothing functionally references `renovate.json` by name — `grep -rn "renovate\.json" .gitea/ ci/
|
||||
conformance/` returns only comment prose.
|
||||
|
||||
## What I did NOT verify
|
||||
|
||||
* **Renovate has still never completed a run.** This removes one of two blockers; PR #77 removes the
|
||||
other. Neither is merged, so **no successful Renovate run has been observed** and I cannot say the
|
||||
bot works — only that these two specific defects are fixed.
|
||||
* **I did not re-run the workflow after the fix.** The honest test is a `workflow_dispatch` with
|
||||
`dry_run: true` once both this and #77 are merged. Expect ~30 dependencies behind, rate-limited to
|
||||
`prHourlyLimit: 2` / `prConcurrentLimit: 5`.
|
||||
* **Whether the managers actually extract anything.** A valid config that matches no files is still
|
||||
a no-op. The dry-run log's per-manager dependency counts are the only thing that proves the
|
||||
`managerFilePatterns` are right, and I have not seen them.
|
||||
* **Whether `renovate.json5` is honoured by the pinned Renovate version in the workflow.** JSON5
|
||||
discovery is long-standing and the validator accepted the file, but the workflow's image tag was
|
||||
not cross-checked against the version that added it.
|
||||
* **Nothing in the gate catches an invalid Renovate config.** This bug would have recurred silently.
|
||||
A one-line L0 check shelling out to `renovate-config-validator` would close it; it is not written
|
||||
here, and `conformance/**` is a sensitive path.
|
||||
* I did not re-measure branch protection or runner state (CLAUDE.md §2b).

So for anything whose failure mode is the CLUSTER rather than a service, a green gate is not evidence and a human must read the changelog. kured is here because it reboots control-plane nodes; longhorn because a storage-engine bump migrates live volume data; cilium because it is the CNI and a bad bump is a total partition (and its version is DUAL-PINNED in infra/ansible/roles/cilium/defaults/main.yml, which Renovate does not see, so the two would silently desync); cloudnative-pg because it drives Postgres switchovers; kube-prometheus-stack because ci/versions.env asserts an exact promtool/Prometheus lockstep and a chart bump that moves Prometheus fails the gate until that file moves with it.",

"description": "ADDED 2026-10-17. NEVER AUTO-MERGE THE BLAST-RADIUS COMPONENTS, not even a patch. The default rule above auto-merges minor/patch/digest on a green gate, which is right for an app image: a bad Sonarr bump inconveniences one pod. It is wrong for these five, because the gate is a STATIC check \u2014 it renders manifests and lints them, it does not boot a node, drain a volume or form an etcd quorum (vars.CLUSTER_AVAILABLE is unset, so L2/L3 conformance does not run in CI at all). So for anything whose failure mode is the CLUSTER rather than a service, a green gate is not evidence and a human must read the changelog. kured is here because it reboots control-plane nodes; longhorn because a storage-engine bump migrates live volume data; cilium because it is the CNI and a bad bump is a total partition (and its version is DUAL-PINNED in infra/ansible/roles/cilium/defaults/main.yml, which Renovate does not see, so the two would silently desync); cloudnative-pg because it drives Postgres switchovers; kube-prometheus-stack because ci/versions.env asserts an exact promtool/Prometheus lockstep and a chart bump that moves Prometheus fails the gate until that file moves with it.",

// WHAT RENOVATE STILL CANNOT FIX, so nobody mistakes a working bot for full coverage. A
|
||||
// FLOATING tag has no version to compare, so Renovate skips it silently — it does not pin it
|
||||
// and does not warn. As of 2026-10-17 that is: plexinc/pms-docker:latest,
|
||||
// lscr.io/linuxserver/jackett:latest, pihole/pihole (NO TAG AT ALL), quay.io/keycloak/keycloak
|
||||
// (no tag), nextcloud:31-apache and docker:27-dind. Those must be pinned BY HAND to a concrete
|
||||
// version before any automation can maintain them, and until then they drift on every pull with
|
||||
// nothing recording what is running. Separately, the HelmRelease minor-locking ranges (9 of 12,
|
||||
// e.g. `>=88.0.0 <89.0.0` on kube-prometheus-stack) cap Renovate at patches inside a line it
|
||||
// has been told not to leave; raising those ceilings is deliberate per-component work and is
|
||||
// NOT part of enabling the bot. Both lists are in decisions/2026-10-17-automated-upgrades.md.

// platform/kyverno/tests/** ADDED 2026-10-17: those Kyverno policy fixtures pin `alpine:latest`

|
||||
// shape, not software to keep current. `conformance/**` was already ignored for the same

// Dockerfile that ships to the cluster; `kubernetes` is now ON and is the one that matters.
