What and why

Renovate is being rolled out org-wide with a shared preset in EduIDE/.github (see EduIDE/.github#4, not yet merged). This repo joins it.

  • Adds renovate.json extending local>EduIDE/.github:renovate-config, so dependency policy lives in one place instead of drifting per repo.
  • Deletes .github/dependabot.yml. The shared preset covers everything that file did here - npm with dev/prod groups, github-actions, and docker. Leaving both bots enabled would just produce duplicate PRs for every bump.

No lint job in this PR. The plan was to add a pull_request job running npm ci && npm run lint, since lint is in package.json but no workflow invokes it. Running it locally on a clean checkout of main shows it is already red:

src/contexts/ThemeContext.tsx
  12:14  warning  Fast refresh only works when a file only exports components.
                  Use a new file to share constants or functions between components
                  react-refresh/only-export-components

✖ 1 problem (0 errors, 1 warning)
ESLint found too many warnings (maximum: 0).

The script runs with --max-warnings 0, so that single warning exits 1. Adding a gate that is red on arrival is worse than no gate, and fixing ThemeContext.tsx is unrelated to the Renovate rollout. The lint gate should land in its own PR right after that warning is cleared. AGENTS.md already documents the current state ("Only the build runs in CI").

Worth knowing for reviewers: this repo has zero tests. The only PR signal today is tsc && vite build, which happens inside the Docker build workflow. A dependency-review check will start running on PRs once EduIDE/.github#4 lands.

How it was verified

  • npx --yes --package renovate@44.46.7 -- renovate-config-validator --strict renovate.json - passed (Config validated successfully against 1 file(s)).
  • npm ci && npm run lint in a clean worktree off origin/main - failed with the warning quoted above, exit code 1. This is pre-existing, not caused by this PR.
  • actionlint was not run: no workflow file is added or modified by this PR.
  • No build/test run beyond the above; the Docker build workflow covers tsc && vite build on this PR.

Deployment impact

  • Requires a deploy
  • Changes runtime configuration or secrets
  • Changes the published image
  • No runtime impact - CI/bot configuration only

The only behavioral change is which bot opens dependency PRs. Nothing shipped to users changes.

Risk and rollback

Low risk. Nothing in the application build, image, or runtime is touched.

Two things to know:

  1. renovate.json resolves local>EduIDE/.github:renovate-config. Until chore(renovate): add org-wide shared Renovate config .github#4 merges, that preset does not exist on the default branch and Renovate will raise a config-error issue on this repo rather than opening update PRs. Merging this before the preset lands is fine - it self-heals once the preset is there - but merging the preset first avoids the noise.
  2. Between merging this and the preset going live, no bot is watching dependencies here, since Dependabot is gone. That window should be short.

Rollback: revert this commit. .github/dependabot.yml comes back verbatim and Dependabot resumes on its next scheduled run; deleting renovate.json makes Renovate skip the repo.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Replaced the previous automated dependency update configuration with a centralized Renovate configuration.
    • Dependency update settings are now managed through a shared preset.

Point the repo at the shared Renovate preset in EduIDE/.github so
dependency policy lives in one place instead of being copy-pasted per
repo. The preset already covers everything dependabot.yml did here -
npm with dev/prod groups, github-actions and docker - so the dependabot
config goes away rather than running both bots and getting duplicate PRs
for every bump.

No lint job in this PR: `npm run lint` is already red on main
(react-refresh/only-export-components warning in src/contexts/
ThemeContext.tsx, and the script runs with --max-warnings 0). Adding a
gate that fails on arrival is worse than no gate; the warning needs
fixing first.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change removes weekly Dependabot update settings and adds renovate.json. The new configuration uses the Renovate schema and extends the shared local>EduIDE/.github:renovate-config preset.

Changes

Dependency update configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Renovate preset configuration
renovate.json, .github/dependabot.yml
Adds the Renovate schema and shared preset configuration. Removes the Dependabot configuration for npm, GitHub Actions, and Docker updates.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to cd094

This PR replaces Dependabot with Renovate configuration that depends on a shared preset not yet available; until that preset is merged and accessible, dependency updates may pause and configuration errors may appear. It is otherwise limited to repository automation, so it is mergeable with explicit owner awareness to land the shared preset first or promptly after.

The lint script has existed all along but no workflow ran it, and it was
red on main: react-refresh/only-export-components fired on ThemeContext.tsx
because the file exported both a component and a hook. With --max-warnings 0
that one warning is fatal, so a lint gate could not be added without fixing
it first.

Splits the file the way the rule wants:
- theme-context.ts holds the context object and types
- useTheme.ts holds the hook
- ThemeContext.tsx now exports only ThemeProvider

Two import sites updated. No behaviour change.

Adds .github/workflows/ci.yml running lint on pull_request. This repo has
zero tests, so lint plus the type-check inside the Docker build is all the
signal a dependency bump gets.

Follow-up pushed: the lint gate is now included after all.

npm run lint was red on a clean main - react-refresh/only-export-components fired on ThemeContext.tsx because it exported both a component and the useTheme hook, and --max-warnings 0 makes that fatal. So the gate could not be added without fixing it.

Split the file the way the rule wants: theme-context.ts (context object + types), useTheme.ts (hook), ThemeContext.tsx (only ThemeProvider). Two import sites updated, no behaviour change. .github/workflows/ci.yml now runs lint on pull_request.

Verified locally: npm run lint clean, npm run build (tsc && vite build) succeeds, actionlint clean on the new workflow.

Renovate config presets local> repository preset unavailable inaccessible extends resolution failure documentation

💡 Result:

The "repository preset unavailable" or "extends resolution failure" when using local> presets typically stems from environment limitations, incorrect path formatting, or file naming issues [1][2][3]. To troubleshoot and resolve these errors, check the following areas: 1. Platform Compatibility: The local> preset prefix is designed to look up presets within the same Git platform (e.g., GitHub, GitLab) [1]. If you are running Renovate with --platform=local (e.g., for local testing or validation), it cannot resolve local> or github> presets because the local platform does not exist as a remote host [4][5][6]. This is a documented limitation of the local platform [4]. 2. Incorrect Path Syntax: Ensure the preset path includes the organization/owner name and the correct repository structure [2]. The correct format is local>owner/repo//path/to/preset:filename [1][2]. If you are referencing a file at the root, you can often omit the sub-path [1]. Forgetting the organization name is a common cause for "preset unavailable" errors [2]. 3. File Name and Extension: Renovate looks for specific filenames when resolving presets (e.g., default.json) [1]. If you have renamed your preset files to .json5, you must explicitly include the filename in your extends string [3]. If a default.json does not exist, Renovate will fail to find the preset [7]. 4. Troubleshooting Steps: * Increase logging: Use LOG_LEVEL=debug to identify the specific error message provided by the Renovate engine [8][9]. The logs often indicate whether the failure is due to a missing file, authentication issue, or platform limitation [2][10]. * Validate without Committing: Use the renovate-config-validator tool to test your configuration changes before committing them, which helps catch syntax or resolution errors early [8]. * Verify Access: Ensure that the Renovate service has read access to the repository containing the preset, especially in self-hosted or private repository scenarios [2][7]. If you are encountering this error specifically while running renovate-config-validator or during CI/CD validation on the local platform, it is likely because the validator cannot perform network lookups or resolve platform-specific local> tags in that mode [10][6]. In such cases, consider using a tool like renovate-graph if you need to resolve presets while working locally [5].

Merge the shared preset before enabling this configuration.

If EduIDE/.github:renovate-config is unavailable or inaccessible, Renovate cannot resolve extends, and dependency updates may stop. This change removes Dependabot, so merge the shared preset and grant Renovate read access before merging this configuration.
