ci: auto-merge patch updates as well as minor#810
Merged
Conversation
Patch updates are the safest update class but were queuing for manual merge under the minor-only automerge rule. Extend the Renovate automerge rule to patch + minor (on stable maintenance branches patch is the only allowed update type, so those PRs now automerge too). CI remains the gate: Renovate only merges when checks are green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
Extends the Renovate automerge rule from minor-only to minor + patch:
Why
Patch updates are the safest update class, but under minor-only they all queued for manual merge (e.g. orchestration-cluster-api-js#310, a
camunda-schema-bundlerpatch bump showing "Automerge: Disabled by config"). CI remains the gate — Renovate only merges on green checks. Major updates stay manual.Side effect worth knowing: on stable maintenance branches patch is the only allowed update type, so those PRs now automerge too.
(Same change applied to all four repos: orchestration-cluster-api-{csharp,python,js}, camunda-8-js-sdk.)
