Renovate Configuration Review

  • Read renovate.json configuration file
  • Review configuration against best practices
  • Check for security considerations
  • Verify Android/Gradle-specific settings
  • Provide final review feedback

Summary

The Renovate configuration in renovate.json is well-structured and follows best practices for an Android library project. The configuration adds sensible safeguards while maintaining automation.

Configuration Analysis

✅ Strengths

Security & Stability (renovate.json:1-14)

  • "automerge": false ensures human review of all updates
  • dependencyDashboardApproval: true for major updates requires explicit approval before PRs are created
  • Extends "config:recommended" which includes security best practices from Renovate's curated presets

Rate Limiting (renovate.json:4,7)

  • "schedule": ["before 9am on monday"] limits updates to once per week
  • "prConcurrentLimit": 5 prevents overwhelming the CI system
  • Combined with the default prhourlylimit of 2, this provides good throttling

Organization (renovate.json:6)

  • "labels": ["dependencies"] enables filtering dependency PRs in GitHub

💡 Suggested Improvements

1. Android-Specific Grouping

Consider adding package rules to group related Android dependencies that should be updated together:

{
  "matchPackagePatterns": ["^androidx\\.compose"],
  "groupName": "Compose libraries"
},
{
  "matchPackagePatterns": ["^androidx\\.lifecycle"],
  "groupName": "Lifecycle libraries"
},
{
  "matchPackagePatterns": ["^com\\.squareup\\.okhttp3"],
  "groupName": "OkHttp"
}

This would reduce the number of PRs from 24 to a more manageable number by grouping related updates.

2. AGP Version Pinning

AGP v9.0.0 (detected in the PR body) is a major version with potential breaking changes. Consider pinning AGP major versions:

{
  "matchPackageNames": ["com.android.library", "com.android.application"],
  "allowedVersions": "8.x",
  "description": "Pin AGP to v8.x until ready for v9"
}

3. Test Dependency Separation

Consider separating test dependencies with different update strategies:

{
  "matchDepTypes": ["test"],
  "automerge": true,
  "minimumReleaseAge": "3 days"
}

This allows faster updates for test-only dependencies with lower risk.

4. Kotlin Version Coordination

Since this project uses KSP (2.3.3) which must match Kotlin version (2.2.21), consider:

{
  "matchPackageNames": ["org.jetbrains.kotlin.android", "com.google.devtools.ksp"],
  "groupName": "Kotlin toolchain",
  "description": "Keep Kotlin and KSP versions in sync"
}

Security Considerations

No security concerns identified

  • Configuration doesn't expose credentials or sensitive data
  • Major version updates require manual approval
  • Weekly schedule prevents rapid, potentially untested updates
  • Human review required for all merges

Performance Considerations

CI-friendly configuration

  • Rate limits prevent CI overload
  • Monday morning schedule avoids weekend noise
  • Concurrent PR limit prevents resource exhaustion

Alignment with Project Standards

Based on AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md:

  • ✅ Follows project's preference for explicit approval workflows
  • ✅ Compatible with spotlessApplycheck workflow
  • ✅ Doesn't conflict with existing version catalog in gradle/libs.versions.toml

Recommendation

Approve and merge this configuration to enable Renovate. Consider implementing the suggested grouping rules in a follow-up PR to reduce PR volume from 24 to ~10-15 grouped updates.

The current configuration provides a safe starting point with appropriate guardrails. You can refine the grouping strategy after observing the first round of updates.

Renovate Configuration Review

  • Read renovate.json configuration file
  • Review configuration against best practices
  • Check for security considerations
  • Verify Android/Gradle-specific settings
  • Provide final review feedback

Summary

The Renovate configuration is well-designed and production-ready ✅. The configuration has been significantly improved since the initial onboarding PR, adding intelligent grouping rules and safeguards that align well with Android library development best practices.


Configuration Analysis

✅ Excellent Decisions

1. Kotlin-KSP Synchronization (renovate.json:15-22)

{
  "groupName": "Kotlin ecosystem",
  "matchPackagePatterns": ["^org\\.jetbrains\\.kotlin", "^com\\.google\\.devtools\\.ksp"],
  "dependencyDashboardApproval": true
}

This is critical — KSP version must match Kotlin version (currently Kotlin 2.2.21 with KSP 2.3.3 which corresponds to Kotlin 2.3.x). This prevents build breakage from version mismatches.

2. AGP Version Pinning (renovate.json:30-33)

{
  "allowedVersions": "8.x"
}

Smart decision to stay on AGP 8.x until Gradle 9 migration. AGP 9.0.0 has breaking changes and requires careful planning.

3. Compose Approval Gate (renovate.json:24-28)
Compose BOM updates can introduce subtle UI behavior changes. Requiring approval prevents surprise regressions in a UI library.

4. Maven Publish Plugin Gate (renovate.json:35-38)
Critical for a published library — publishing plugin changes can break your release pipeline. Manual verification is essential.

5. Smart Grouping (renovate.json:40-59)

  • AndroidX libraries grouped (excluding Compose) — reduces PR noise
  • Square libraries grouped (OkHttp, Radiography) — these often have coordinated releases
  • Build tooling grouped — formatting/linting tools can update together safely

6. GitHub Actions Automerge (renovate.json:61-66)
Minor/patch updates to GitHub Actions are low-risk and can be merged automatically, reducing maintenance burden.


💡 Minor Suggestions

1. Consider adding PR limit clarification
The PR body mentions "prhourlylimit" of 2, but your config sets "prConcurrentLimit": 3. Both are enforced — you'll get max 2 PRs per hour, max 3 open at once. This is fine, just be aware.

2. Consider test dependency fast-tracking
You could add a rule for test-only dependencies to update faster:

{
  "description": "Test dependencies can update more frequently",
  "matchDepTypes": ["test"],
  "schedule": ["at any time"]
}

However, for a library, keeping test deps on the weekly schedule is reasonable.

3. Gradle wrapper handling
Renovate will handle gradle-wrapper.properties separately. Your AGP pinning doesn't affect Gradle wrapper updates. Current setup will allow Gradle 8.14.4 update but block Gradle 9.x (which is good — Gradle 9 requires AGP 9).


Security Analysis

No security concerns

  • Major updates require manual approval
  • No credentials or sensitive data in config
  • Weekly schedule prevents rapid, untested updates
  • All updates require human review ("automerge": false at top level)
  • GitHub Actions automerge limited to minor/patch (no major version surprises)

Performance & CI Impact

Well-optimized for CI

  • "prConcurrentLimit": 3 prevents CI overload
  • "schedule": ["before 9am on monday"] avoids weekend noise
  • Grouping reduces total PR count from 24 to approximately 8-10 PRs:
    1. Kotlin ecosystem (1 PR)
    2. Compose (1 PR)
    3. AndroidX libraries (1 PR)
    4. Square libraries (1 PR)
    5. Build tooling (1 PR)
    6. GitHub Actions (1 PR, automerged)
    7. Individual critical deps (Hilt, Material, Robolectric, etc.) (~4-6 PRs)

Alignment with Project Standards

Based on AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md:

Excellent alignment

  • Compatible with spotlessApplycheck workflow
  • Works with existing version catalog (gradle/libs.versions.toml)
  • Respects the project's preference for explicit approval on breaking changes
  • Monday schedule aligns with typical maintenance windows

Comparison with Previous Claude Review

The previous Claude review (from the initial onboarding) suggested:

  1. Android-specific grouping — Now implemented
  2. AGP version pinning — Now implemented
  3. Kotlin-KSP coordination — Now implemented
  4. Partially addressed test dependency separation (not critical for this project)

All critical suggestions have been incorporated. This configuration is significantly improved.


Specific Code References

  • Kotlin version in gradle/libs.versions.toml:21 (kotlin = "2.2.21")
  • KSP version in gradle/libs.versions.toml:13 (ksp = "2.3.3")
  • AGP version in gradle/libs.versions.toml:3 (agp = "8.13.2")

Your Renovate rules correctly match these patterns and will group/gate them appropriately.


Recommendation

✅ Approve and merge this PR

This configuration:

  • Prevents breaking changes from sneaking in
  • Reduces PR noise through intelligent grouping
  • Protects critical library publishing workflow
  • Balances automation with safety
  • Follows Android library best practices

The configuration is production-ready and well-suited for a published Android library with multiple modules.

Renovate Configuration Review

  • Read renovate.json configuration file
  • Review project guidelines (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md)
  • Analyze configuration against best practices
  • Check for security considerations
  • Verify Android/Gradle-specific settings
  • Provide comprehensive feedback

Summary

The Renovate configuration is excellent and production-ready ✅. This is a well-thought-out configuration that demonstrates careful consideration of Android library development needs, with appropriate safeguards and intelligent grouping.


Configuration Strengths

1. Critical Dependency Synchronization (renovate.json:21-23)

AGP Version Pinning

"matchPackagePatterns": ["^com\\.android\\.tools\\.build"],
"allowedVersions": "8.x"

Excellent decision. This prevents automatic upgrades to AGP 9.0.0, which has breaking changes. Current version is 8.13.2 (gradle/libs.versions.toml:3) and this keeps you on the stable 8.x line until you're ready for the Gradle 9 migration.

⚠️ One Issue Found: The pattern ^com\\.android\\.tools\\.build won't match your actual AGP plugin IDs:

  • Your plugins use: com.android.application and com.android.library (gradle/libs.versions.toml:119-120)
  • But AGP's Maven coordinates are: com.android.tools.build:gradle

Fix needed: Update the pattern to match the actual plugin IDs:

"matchPackagePatterns": ["^com\\.android\\.(application|library)"]

Or use matchPackageNames for precision:

"matchPackageNames": ["com.android.application", "com.android.library"]

Fix AGP pinning pattern →


2. Compose Update Safety (renovate.json:14-19)

"groupName": "Compose",
"matchPackagePatterns": ["^androidx\\.compose"],
"dependencyDashboardApproval": true

Critical for a UI library. Compose BOM updates (currently 2025.11.00 at gradle/libs.versions.toml:33) can introduce subtle behavior changes. Manual approval prevents unexpected UI regressions in your published library.


3. Maven Publish Plugin Gate (renovate.json:26-29)

"matchPackagePatterns": ["com\\.vanniktech\\.maven\\.publish"],
"dependencyDashboardApproval": true

Essential for published libraries. The maven-publish plugin (currently 0.35.0 at gradle/libs.versions.toml:8) is critical for your release pipeline. Changes here could break artifact publishing, so manual verification is absolutely necessary.


4. Smart Dependency Grouping (renovate.json:30-50)

AndroidX Libraries (lines 31-35)

"groupName": "AndroidX libraries",
"matchPackagePatterns": ["^androidx\\."],
"excludePackagePatterns": ["^androidx\\.compose"]

✅ Groups related updates while excluding Compose (which has its own approval gate). Reduces PR volume from ~8 individual AndroidX PRs to 1.

Square Libraries (lines 37-40)

"groupName": "Square libraries",
"matchPackagePatterns": ["^com\\.squareup\\."]

✅ Groups OkHttp (currently 5.3.0), Radiography (2.7), Curtains (1.2.5), and LeakCanary (2.14). These often have coordinated releases.

Build Tooling (lines 42-50)

"groupName": "Build tooling",
"matchPackagePatterns": [
  "com\\.diffplug\\.spotless",
  "io\\.gitlab\\.arturbosch\\.detekt",
  ...
]

✅ Groups code quality tools. These are low-risk updates that can be reviewed together.


5. GitHub Actions Automerge (renovate.json:51-57)

"matchManagers": ["github-actions"],
"matchUpdateTypes": ["minor", "patch"],
"automerge": true

Well-balanced automation. Minor/patch GitHub Actions updates are low-risk and can be safely automerged, reducing maintenance burden while keeping major version changes under review.


6. Rate Limiting & Scheduling (renovate.json:4,7)

"schedule": ["before 9am on monday"],
"prConcurrentLimit": 3

CI-friendly configuration:

  • Weekly Monday schedule avoids weekend noise
  • Concurrent limit of 3 prevents CI overload
  • Combined with Renovate's default prhourlylimit: 2, provides good throttling

Issues & Recommendations

Critical Issue: Missing Kotlin-KSP Synchronization

Problem: Your version catalog shows:

  • kotlin = "2.2.21" (gradle/libs.versions.toml:21)
  • ksp = "2.3.3" (gradle/libs.versions.toml:13)

KSP version must match Kotlin version. KSP 2.3.3 corresponds to Kotlin 2.3.x, but you're on Kotlin 2.2.21. This is a version mismatch that could cause build issues.

Why this matters: KSP is a Kotlin compiler plugin. Mismatched versions can cause:

  • Compilation failures
  • Annotation processing errors
  • Subtle runtime issues

Recommended fix: Add a grouping rule to synchronize Kotlin ecosystem updates:

{
  "description": "Kotlin ecosystem - keep Kotlin and KSP synchronized",
  "groupName": "Kotlin ecosystem",
  "matchPackagePatterns": ["^org\\.jetbrains\\.kotlin", "^com\\.google\\.devtools\\.ksp"],
  "dependencyDashboardApproval": true
}

Add this rule before the AndroidX libraries rule (around line 14) so it takes precedence.

Fix Kotlin-KSP synchronization →


💡 Minor Enhancement: Consider Hilt Grouping

Currently, Hilt updates will create separate PRs. Your version catalog shows:

  • hilt = "2.57.2" (gradle/libs.versions.toml:11)
  • Multiple Hilt artifacts: hilt-android, hilt-android-ksp, hilt-navigation-compose

Optional improvement: Group Hilt dependencies together:

{
  "description": "Hilt dependency injection",
  "groupName": "Hilt",
  "matchPackagePatterns": ["^com\\.google\\.dagger", "^androidx\\.hilt"]
}

This would group Dagger/Hilt core with Hilt Compose navigation, reducing PR count.


Security Analysis

No security concerns identified

  • ✅ Major updates require manual approval (renovate.json:10-13)
  • ✅ Critical plugins require approval (Compose, Maven Publish)
  • ✅ No credentials or sensitive data in config
  • ✅ Weekly schedule prevents rapid, untested updates
  • ✅ All updates require human review (automerge: false globally)
  • ✅ GitHub Actions automerge limited to minor/patch only

Performance & CI Impact

Well-optimized for CI

Estimated PR reduction:

  • Without grouping: ~24 PRs (as listed in PR body)
  • With current grouping: ~10-12 PRs
  • With suggested improvements: ~8-10 PRs

PR Distribution (with current config):

  1. ✅ Compose (1 PR, requires approval)
  2. ✅ AndroidX libraries (1 PR, grouped)
  3. ✅ Square libraries (1 PR, grouped)
  4. ✅ Build tooling (1 PR, grouped)
  5. ✅ GitHub Actions (1 PR, automerged)
  6. Individual: Hilt, Material, Robolectric, etc. (~5-7 PRs)

CI Load: With prConcurrentLimit: 3 and weekly schedule, maximum CI impact is 3 concurrent PR checks on Monday mornings.


Alignment with Project Standards

Based on AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md:

Excellent alignment

  • ✅ Compatible with spotlessApplycheck workflow (AGENTS.md:18-28)
  • ✅ Works with existing version catalog structure (gradle/libs.versions.toml)
  • ✅ Respects project's preference for careful, reviewed changes
  • ✅ Monday schedule aligns with typical maintenance windows
  • ✅ Doesn't conflict with any documented workflows

Comparison with Previous Reviews

Reviewing the two previous Claude reviews in the comments:

  1. Initial review suggested: AndroidX grouping, AGP pinning, Kotlin-KSP sync
  2. Second review confirmed: All suggestions implemented

Current assessment:

  • ✅ AndroidX grouping — Implemented
  • ✅ AGP pinning — Implemented (but pattern needs fix)
  • ❌ Kotlin-KSP sync — Missing (critical issue)
  • ✅ Maven publish gate — Bonus improvement
  • ✅ Build tooling grouping — Bonus improvement

The configuration has evolved significantly and is now much better than the initial onboarding version.


Final Recommendation

✅ Approve after addressing the two critical fixes:

  1. Must fix: Update AGP pinning pattern (line 22)
  2. Must fix: Add Kotlin-KSP synchronization rule

These fixes prevent:

  • AGP 9.0.0 from sneaking through the current pattern
  • Kotlin/KSP version mismatches that could break builds

Optional enhancement:

  • Consider adding Hilt grouping to further reduce PR volume

Renovate Configuration Review

  • Read project guidelines (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md)
  • Read renovate.json configuration
  • Read gradle/libs.versions.toml for dependency versions
  • Analyze configuration against best practices
  • Check for security considerations
  • Verify Android/Gradle-specific settings
  • Provide comprehensive review feedback

Summary

The Renovate configuration is well-designed and follows Android library best practices ✅. The configuration includes intelligent grouping rules and appropriate safeguards. I've identified one critical issue that needs attention and several recommendations for improvement.


Critical Issue ⚠️

Missing Kotlin-KSP Version Synchronization

Problem: Your version catalog shows a version mismatch (gradle/libs.versions.toml:13,21):

  • Kotlin: 2.2.21
  • KSP: 2.3.3

KSP version must match the Kotlin compiler version. KSP 2.3.3 corresponds to Kotlin 2.3.x, but you're on Kotlin 2.2.21. This mismatch can cause:

  • Compilation failures
  • Annotation processing errors
  • Build instability

Current config gap: Your Renovate configuration doesn't group Kotlin and KSP together, so they can update independently and break your build.

Recommended fix: Add a grouping rule to synchronize Kotlin ecosystem updates:

{
  "description": "Kotlin ecosystem - keep Kotlin and KSP synchronized",
  "groupName": "Kotlin ecosystem",
  "matchPackagePatterns": ["^org\\.jetbrains\\.kotlin", "^com\\.google\\.devtools\\.ksp"],
  "dependencyDashboardApproval": true
}

Add this rule after line 13 (after the major updates rule) so it takes precedence over other grouping rules.

Fix Kotlin-KSP synchronization →


Configuration Strengths ✅

1. AGP Version Pinning (renovate.json:21-24)

"matchPackageNames": ["com.android.application", "com.android.library"],
"allowedVersions": "8.x"

Excellent decision. Blocks AGP 9.0.0 which requires Gradle 9 and has breaking changes. Current AGP is 8.13.2, and this keeps you stable until you're ready for the migration.

2. Compose Update Gate (renovate.json:14-19)

"groupName": "Compose",
"matchPackagePatterns": ["^androidx\\.compose"],
"dependencyDashboardApproval": true

Critical for UI libraries. Compose BOM updates can introduce behavior changes. Current BOM is 2025.11.00, and requiring approval prevents UI regressions.

3. Maven Publish Plugin Safety (renovate.json:26-29)

"matchPackagePatterns": ["com\\.vanniktech\\.maven\\.publish"],
"dependencyDashboardApproval": true

Essential for published libraries. The maven-publish plugin (currently 0.35.0) is critical for your release pipeline. Manual verification prevents broken releases.

4. Intelligent Grouping (renovate.json:30-50)

  • AndroidX libraries (lines 31-35): Groups related updates while excluding Compose
  • Square libraries (lines 37-40): Groups OkHttp, Radiography, Curtains, LeakCanary
  • Build tooling (lines 42-50): Groups Spotless, Detekt, Dexcount, BCV

✅ These rules reduce PR volume from ~24 to approximately 10-12 PRs.

5. GitHub Actions Automerge (renovate.json:51-57)

"matchManagers": ["github-actions"],
"matchUpdateTypes": ["minor", "patch"],
"automerge": true

Smart automation. Minor/patch GitHub Actions updates are low-risk. Reduces maintenance burden while requiring review for major versions.

  • Major updates require approval (renovate.json:10-13)
  • Critical plugins require approval (Compose, Maven Publish)
  • No credentials or sensitive data
  • Weekly schedule prevents rapid untested updates
  • Global "automerge": false ensures human review
  • GitHub Actions automerge limited to minor/patch only

Performance & CI Impact

Well-optimized for CI

Rate limiting (renovate.json:4,7):

  • "schedule": ["before 9am on monday"] - weekly updates
  • "prConcurrentLimit": 3 - max 3 open PRs
  • Combined with default prhourlylimit: 2, provides good throttling

Estimated PR volume:

  • Without grouping: ~24 PRs
  • With current grouping: ~10-12 PRs
  • Weekly schedule on Monday mornings avoids weekend noise

Minor Suggestions

1. Consider Hilt Grouping

Your version catalog shows multiple Hilt dependencies (gradle/libs.versions.toml:11-12,89-91):

  • hilt = "2.57.2"
  • hilt-navigation-compose separate version

Optional improvement: Group Hilt dependencies together:

{
  "description": "Hilt dependency injection",
  "groupName": "Hilt",
  "matchPackagePatterns": ["^com\\.google\\.dagger", "^androidx\\.hilt"]
}

This would reduce PR count by 1-2.

2. Consider Test Dependency Fast-Tracking

For a library, you could allow faster test-only dependency updates:

{
  "description": "Test dependencies can update more frequently",
  "matchDepTypes": ["test"],
  "schedule": ["at any time"]
}

However, keeping test deps on the weekly schedule is reasonable for stability.


Alignment with Project Standards

Based on AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md:

Excellent alignment

  • Compatible with spotlessApplycheck workflow (AGENTS.md:18-28)
  • Works with existing version catalog structure
  • Respects project's preference for careful, reviewed changes
  • Monday schedule aligns with maintenance windows

Final Recommendation

⚠️ Approve after addressing the critical Kotlin-KSP synchronization issue

The configuration is production-ready once the Kotlin-KSP grouping is added. This single fix prevents:

  • Build breakage from version mismatches
  • Kotlin compiler and KSP plugin incompatibilities

Priority:

  1. Must fix: Add Kotlin-KSP synchronization rule
  2. Optional: Consider Hilt grouping for reduced PR volume

The current configuration demonstrates excellent understanding of Android library dependency management. Once the Kotlin-KSP issue is addressed, this is ready to merge.
