MNT: Add Renovate config to master so it actually takes effect#1039
Merged
Conversation
Renovate (Mend hosted app) reads repository configuration only from the default branch, which is `master`. The config introduced in #972 was merged into `develop`, so it never took effect: Renovate ran with bare defaults, raised PRs against `master` instead of `develop`, did not group updates, and naively bumped every pinned line in the autogenerated `docs/requirements.txt`. This adds the configuration on `master` and: - keeps the intended settings (baseBranches: develop, grouping, labels, dependency dashboard); - enables the `pip-compile` manager scoped to `docs/requirements.txt`, which is autogenerated from `docs/requirements.in`, so the lock file is regenerated properly instead of patched line by line; - disables the `pip_requirements` manager for that one file to avoid duplicate PRs (it still manages the hand-written requirements files).

Renovate reads its config only from the default branch (master), where the corrected config is added in #1039. This updates develop's renovate.json to be byte-identical to that one (pip-compile manager for the autogenerated docs/requirements.txt; pip_requirements disabled for that file) so master and develop don't diverge and the next master<->develop merge won't hit an add/add conflict on .github/renovate.json.

Why
Renovate (Mend hosted app) reads its repository configuration only from the default branch, which for this repo is
master. The config added in #972 was merged intodevelop, so it never took effect.Running with bare defaults is why Renovate has been misbehaving:
masterinstead ofdevelop,docs/requirements.txt— which is autogenerated bypip-compileand carries a "DO NOT EDIT" header. This produced ~50+ noisy PRs.What this does
Adds
.github/renovate.jsononmasterwith the intended settings, plus the docs fix:baseBranches: ["develop"]— future dependency PRs targetdevelop(the original intent).dependencieslabel, dependency dashboard (unchanged from MNT: Configure Renovate Bot targeting develop branch #972).pip-compilemanager scoped todocs/requirements.txt. Its header recordspip-compile docs/requirements.in, so Renovate regenerates the lock file properly instead of patching pinned lines.pip_requirementsfordocs/requirements.txtonly, to avoid duplicate PRs. The hand-writtenrequirements.txt,requirements-optional.txt, andrequirements-tests.txtare still managed normally.Follow-up
The ~54 open Renovate PRs that only edit
docs/requirements.txtare being closed separately; once this merges they won't be recreated. Thedevelopcopy ofrenovate.jsonshould be synced to match (or will reconcile on the next release merge).
