  "_comment": "Renovate config — Phase 4 automated updates (ADR-0009, R-UPD-01/02). AS OF 2026-10-17 RENOVATE OWNS BOTH HALVES: Helm chart/dependency bumps AND per-service container image tags. It opens PRs for everything; allowed low-risk classes auto-merge on green CI. The ADR-0009 split that gave image tags to Flux image-automation is formally closed — see .gitea/workflows/renovate.yaml for the three measured reasons (it pushes commits rather than opening PRs, so it bypasses the CLAUDE.md §1 gate; `main` is protected with user_can_push:false and the flux-system GitRepository has no secretRef, so it cannot write anyway; and enabling it would need an in-cluster git WRITE credential for the repo that defines the cluster). image-automation has been commented out at platform/kustomization.yaml:52 since it was authored and the cluster holds zero ImagePolicy/ImageRepository/ImageUpdateAutomation objects, so nothing is being torn down. CONSEQUENCE: the `docker` and `kubernetes` managers, previously disabled ONLY to avoid fighting that controller, are now ENABLED — without them every plain `image: repo/name:tag` line in this repo was maintained by nothing at all, which is how the oauth2-proxy auth sidecars reached 7 minors behind the oauth2-proxy running in the same cluster. RUNNER: .gitea/workflows/renovate.yaml (scheduled daily); platform/endpoint are set there, not here.",

The `kubernetes` manager reads plain `image:` fields out of Kubernetes manifests, and it is NOT auto-detected — it only looks at files matched here, which is why this block is as broad as it is. Scope covers every place this repo writes a container image: platform components, the rendered app waves, the ServiceDefinition catalog that generates them, the runbooks web server and the pm-agent job template. `catalog/` matters as much as `apps/`: apps/wave-*/*.yaml are GENERATED by catalog/render.py, so a bump applied only to the rendered output is reverted by the next render and would also fail ci/render-golden.sh. Renovate will raise BOTH, and both must land together.",

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 — 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.",

  "_unmanageable_comment": "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.

  "_docker_comment": "The `docker` manager (Dockerfiles, docker-compose) and the `kubernetes` manager above were BOTH previously `enabled: false`, solely so Renovate would not fight Flux image-automation over a running tag. That controller was never enabled and never will be here (see _comment), so the only thing those two flags were achieving was leaving every plain `image:` tag in the repo unmanaged. `docker` is left out of enabledManagers because this repo contains no Dockerfile that ships to the cluster; `kubernetes` is now ON and is the one that matters.",
