Stop Renovate from duplicating Dependabot's github-actions and security PRs#250
Merged
Conversation
Renovate's config:recommended preset covers github-actions, which overlapped with dependabot.yml's github-actions ecosystem entry and produced duplicate/conflicting PRs for the same actions (e.g. #246 vs #243 for actions/checkout, #223 vs #240/#238 for the artifact actions). It also raised its own vulnerability-fix PRs (e.g. #239) on top of GitHub's native Dependabot security alerts. Dependabot stays the sole authority for github-actions version bumps and security alerts; Renovate keeps handling pyproject.toml and pyenv currency, where Dependabot has no equivalent config.

Summary
This repo runs both Dependabot (`.github/dependabot.yml`, scoped to `github-actions`) and Renovate (`renovate.json`, `config:recommended`). Renovate's recommended preset also covers github-actions and raises its own vulnerability-fix PRs, so the two bots were fighting over the same updates:
This PR disables Renovate for `github-actions` and `vulnerabilityAlerts` so Dependabot stays the sole authority for both going forward. Renovate keeps handling `pyproject.toml` and `.python-version` currency, which Dependabot has no config for here.
