One of the two standing questions for Chris answered itself in the branch list: Renovate is still live here. .github/renovate.json extends ow3org/renovate-config, three renovate/* branches exist, and the app has open PRs — #1352 (March), #1362, #1363 — proposing updates to the same tree buddy.yml dogfoods buddy on. Two bots racing one dependency set, and CLAUDE.md already records the intent: buddy handles dependency updates — not renovatebot.
What this does
Replaces the preset extension with { "enabled": false }. Disabling via config rather than deleting the file matters: on a config-less repo the installed app opens a fresh onboarding PR, which would resurrect exactly what this removes. With enabled: false the app stays silent.
What it deliberately does not do
- Close the open Renovate PRs (#1352, #1362, #1363) or delete the
renovate/*branches — worth doing right after this lands; buddy will re-propose anything still outdated on its next scheduled run. - Uninstall the Renovate app — org-level, only Chris can.
The other standing question, answered along the way
Nothing in the repository regenerates CLAUDE.md's embedded README copy — the only reference to the file anywhere in tooling is scripts/check-docs-claims.ts reading it. It is hand-maintained and has already drifted (the embedded copy predates the AI-review section of the real README). Worth deciding whether to sync it manually, script it, or trim the embedded copy.
