🔧 Exempt GitHub Actions from minimum release age - #201
Merged
Conversation
actions/checkout digest updates were never clearing the 3-day stability window: Renovate tracks the moving v4 tag, and new commits land on it more often than every 3 days, so each digest bump resets the countdown before it can complete. - Add a packageRule dropping minimumReleaseAge to 0 for the github-actions manager; digest pins are low-risk once CI passes, unlike regular dependency releases

Summary
The
actions/checkoutdigest-update PR has been stuck behind the 3-dayminimumReleaseAgestability window for over a month.Changes
renovate.json: since GitHub Actions are digest-pinned to a moving tag (e.g.v4), new commits often land on that tag more often than every 3 days. Each new digest resets Renovate's stability countdown before it can finish, so the PR never becomes mergeable.packageRulesentry settingminimumReleaseAgeto0 daysformatchManagers: ["github-actions"]. Digest pins are low-risk once CI passes - unlike regular dependency releases, they don't need a cooldown to catch fast-following patch releases.Test Plan
