The org-inherited config has prCreation: "not-pending" which requires CI checks to pass before opening a PR, but CI only triggers on pull_request events — creating a deadlock where PRs need checks and checks need PRs. 75+ updates have been queued since May 11 with zero PRs created. - Override prCreation to "immediate" so PRs are created first, then CI runs via the pull_request trigger - Disable automerge until the backlog is cleared and CI is stable - Switch recreateWhen to "always" so closed-without-merge PRs can be retried - Add cargo:updateLockfile to keep lockfiles consistent - Disable separateMultipleMinor to stop per-version branch explosion (e.g. 8 branches for nostr 0.37-0.44)

Fix a deadlock that has prevented Renovate from opening any PRs since May 11, leaving 75+ dependency updates queued with no visibility.
The org-inherited config (
block/renovate-config) setsprCreation: "not-pending", which tells Renovate to wait for CI checks before opening a PR. But CI only triggers onpull_requestevents — so checks never run onrenovate/*branches, PRs never get created, and the cycle is permanent. Compounding this,automerge: true(org) means failures are silent: there are no PRs to review, just stale branches. The Dependency Dashboard (issue #1) has been accumulating updates whileseparateMultipleMinor: trueexploded crates likenostrinto 8 separate branches (one per minor from 0.37 to 0.44).prCreationto"immediate"— PRs are created on branch push, CI runs via thepull_requesttriggerautomergetofalse— human review required until the 75-update backlog is cleared and CI is consistently green; re-enable after a few clean weeksrecreateWhento"always"— previously-closed PRs (fix(deps): update all non-major dependencies #469, Update all non-major dependencies #300) can be retriedpostUpdateOptions: ["cargo:updateLockfile"]— Renovate runscargo update --workspaceafter manifest changes, keeping bothCargo.lockfiles consistentseparateMultipleMinor: falsefor cargo — one PR per crate updating to latest minor, not one PR per intermediate versionCloses the config gap introduced in #531.
