Research direction
The issue requests extending Renovate's config manager to support updating `local>` presets, as illustrated in the example. The previous PR #37723 implemented support for other preset types. The implementation likely involves modifying the config manager's logic to recognize and bump the version in `local>` references. Relevant files can be found in the Renovate repository under `lib/modules/manager/renovate config presets/`.
