Research direction

Start with .github/renovate.json5 and its existing github-actions package rule, then inspect the repository manifests to identify which Renovate managers are relevant. Enable those managers and add packageRules for the desired batching and schedule; the updated config should cover the repository's chosen ecosystems without relying on a separate dependency tool.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Context

As part of the org-wide Renovate rollout for GitHub Actions
(announcement),
this repo got a Renovate config in #910 that is deliberately scoped to
GitHub Actions only:

// .github/renovate.json5
enabledManagers: ["github-actions"],

Every other built-in manager (npm, cargo, pip, docker, ...) was disabled during
rollout to avoid flooding repos with project-specific upgrade PRs that teams
didn't opt into.

What to do

The rollout is done — this repo's maintainers now own the Renovate config.
Please review which package managers
are relevant here and enable them, e.g.:

enabledManagers: ["github-actions", "npm"],

Then add packageRules to match how this repo wants updates batched/scheduled
(see the existing github-actions rule in the config as a reference).

If this repo previously used Dependabot for these ecosystems, prefer moving
them into Renovate so we keep one tool and one PR style — but that call is
yours.
