chore(renovate): move config to .github/ and fix Go version blocking#93
Merged
Conversation
- Move renovate.json to .github/renovate.json (standard location) - Replace deprecated config:base with config:recommended - Fix Go version blocking: replace three broken/incomplete rules with a single matchDatasources: golang-version rule that correctly covers the go directive, toolchain directive, and setup-go go-version inputs (the old GHA rule matched actions/go-versions which is not a valid package name for this purpose; toolchain directive was also unblocked) - Fix timezone from EST (not a valid IANA tz) to America/New_York - Add matchManagers: gomod to k8s core rule to prevent cross-manager matches - Add Docker images group rule to avoid per-image PRs for lab containers Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Go version blocking was broken in two ways:
matchPackageNames: ["actions/go-versions"]— this is not the correct identifier. Renovate tracks thego-versioninput ofactions/setup-gounder datasourcegolang-versionwith depNamego. The old rule was silently a no-op.gomodrule only blocked thegodirective, not thetoolchaindirective (a separate dep).The new single rule
matchDatasources: ["golang-version"]covers all three cases: go.modgodirective, go.modtoolchaindirective, andsetup-gogo-versioninputs.Test plan
