chore(renovate): use shared org preset and add PR build gate - #10
Conversation
Point renovate.json at the org-wide shared preset in EduIDE/.github instead of config:recommended, so dependency update policy is managed in one place. This repo had no pull_request CI at all: build.yml only runs on push to main and release.yml only on helm/** changes, so a PR got zero build signal. Add ci.yml running go build and go vet on pull_request and on push to main, giving Renovate PRs something to gate them. The Go version is read from go.mod so Renovate's Go toolchain updates flow through without editing the workflow. There are no *_test.go files in this repo, so no go test step is added - it would pass trivially and falsely imply coverage.

actions/checkout v4 README persist-credentials default local git config
💡 Result:
In actions/checkout v4, the persist-credentials input defaults to true [1][2][3]. When enabled, this setting configures the provided authentication token (typically GITHUB_TOKEN) or SSH key within the local git configuration of the checked-out repository [1][2]. This allows subsequent workflow steps to execute authenticated git commands [1][4]. The action is designed to remove these credentials during the post-job cleanup phase [1][5]. If you wish to prevent the action from adding these credentials to the local git configuration, you must explicitly set persist-credentials to false in your workflow step [1][6]: - uses: actions/checkout@v4 with: persist-credentials: false While there has been community discussion regarding changing this default to false to mitigate potential security risks, such as credential leakage via workflow artifacts, it remains true by default in the v4 release [2][6][7].

Disable credential persistence for this read-only checkout.
actions/checkout@v4 stores the authentication token in local Git configuration by default. This workflow has no later authenticated Git operation, so set persist-credentials: false.

Renovate local preset syntax local> repository preset-name renovate-config.json
💡 Result:
In Renovate, "local" presets refer to configurations hosted on the same platform (e.g., your internal GitHub Enterprise, GitLab instance, or Azure DevOps) as your target repository [1][2]. They are designed for self-hosted instances where public presets cannot be used [1][2]. The syntax for referencing a local preset in your renovate.json (or renovate.json5) file is: "extends": ["local>owner/repository"] If you need to target a specific preset file within that repository or use a specific subdirectory, the syntax supports several variations [1][2]: - Default preset: "local>owner/repository" (looks for default.json in the root) [1][2] - Specific preset file: "local>owner/repository:preset-name" (looks for preset-name.json) [1][2] - Preset file with path: "local>owner/repository//path/to/preset-name" [1][2] - JSON5 support: "local>owner/repository:preset-name.json5" [1][2] Key Considerations: - Resolution: When using local>, Renovate identifies the platform it is currently running on and looks for the specified repository within that same platform instance [1][2]. - Permissions: Ensure the platform token used by the Renovate bot has read access to the repository hosting the presets [3][4]. - File Naming: By default, Renovate looks for default.json [1][2]. If your configuration file has a different name or uses the.json5 extension, you must explicitly specify it in the string (e.g.,:preset-name.json5) [1][5]. - Local Platform vs. Local Presets: Do not confuse "local" presets with the --platform=local CLI flag [6]. The latter is for dry-run testing on a local machine's filesystem and cannot resolve local> preset paths [6]. For managing organizational standards, it is common to create a dedicated repository (e.g., owner/renovate-config) and reference it using "local>owner/renovate-config" in all your other repositories [7][3].

local>EduIDE/.github:renovate-config resolves to EduIDE/.github/renovate-config.json. That file is absent from main, so Renovate cannot resolve the extends preset. Add the file or change the entry to the correct preset path.

What and why
Two related changes for the org-wide Renovate rollout.
renovate.jsonnow extends the shared org preset. It previously extendedconfig:recommended(added by Renovate's own onboarding PR #6). It now points atlocal>EduIDE/.github:renovate-config, so dependency update policy lives in one place instead of drifting per repo.New
.github/workflows/ci.yml. This repo had nopull_requestCI at all.build.ymlonly triggers onpushtomain, andrelease.ymlonly onhelm/**changes orworkflow_dispatch. The only PR-triggered workflow wasauto-assign.yml, which just assigns the author. So a pull request here got zero build signal - nothing compiled it, nothing vetted it. That is the bigger half of this PR: Renovate is about to start opening dependency PRs, and those need something to gate them.The new workflow checks out, sets up Go, and runs
go build ./...andgo vet ./...onpull_requestand onpushtomain. It usesgo-version-file: go.modrather than a hardcoded version, so when Renovate bumps the Go directive the workflow follows automatically with no second edit.permissions: contents: readat the top level.No
go teststep. This repo contains zero*_test.gofiles. A test step would pass trivially and put a green check next to something that tested nothing. Worth adding for real once there are tests.A
dependency-reviewcheck will also apply here once EduIDE/.github#4 lands - that PR adds the sharedrenovate-config.jsonthis file points at, plus a reusabledependency-review.yml. Until #4 merges the preset reference does not resolve, so this should merge after (or alongside) #4.How it was verified
Ran locally against a clean checkout of
origin/mainin a separate worktree:go build ./...- passed, exit 0go vet ./...- passed, exit 0(local toolchain was go1.26.5; CI will use 1.23.3 from
go.mod, so those are not the identical compiler)renovate-config-validator --strict renovate.jsonviarenovate@44.46.7- "Config validated successfully against 1 file(s)"actionlintv1.7.6 on.github/workflows/ci.yml- clean, exit 0Note on actionlint: running it across the whole
.github/workflows/directory reports two pre-existing SC2086 shellcheck infos inrelease.yml(unquoted$GITHUB_ENVand$GITHUB_OUTPUT). Those are untouched by this PR and are not fixed here.The workflow itself has not run on GitHub yet - it will run for the first time on this PR, which is the real check.
Deployment impact
versionbumped)CI and dependency-bot configuration only. No runtime code, no chart, no image.
Risk and rollback
Low. Nothing here affects the running collector.
The realistic failure is the preset reference: if this merges before EduIDE/.github#4, Renovate cannot resolve
local>EduIDE/.github:renovate-configand will open a config-error issue on this repo. It stops opening update PRs; it does not do anything destructive. Fixed by merging #4.Second possibility is that the new workflow behaves differently on CI than locally - a different Go patch release surfacing a vet finding, for example. That shows up as a red check on this PR before merge, not after.
Rollback is
git revertof this commit. Reverting restores the previousconfig:recommendedconfig and removes the workflow.Summary by CodeRabbit
