Motivation
renovate.jsonnow carries version-line lock rules (ci: split renovate dependency updates by version line #1212) that the Renovate bot reads on every run. A config error (bad option name, malformed regex, schema change) is currently only discovered after the bot runs and fails or silently misbehaves.renovate-config-validator, which validates schema, option names, and regex syntax offline. Running it in CI catches broken configs in the PR that introduces them.Modifications
renovate-configjob in.github/workflows/lint.yaml(alongsidecommit-lintandktlint):actions/checkout@v7->actions/setup-node@v7(Node 24.x, same as the commit-lint job) ->npx -y -p renovate renovate-config-validator.package.jsonchange (the validator is fetched on demand, so the commit-lintnpm installstays lean).Result
main/developnow validatesrenovate.jsonwith the official validator — a config mistake fails the Lint workflow instead of surfacing as bot misbehavior later.renovate.json:Config validated successfully.Closes
