Configure Renovate to prevent PR recreation

[aponcedeleonch]

Changes

• Added recreateWhen: never to prevent closed PRs from being auto-recreated
• Added dependencyDashboard: true to maintain visibility of closed updates in the dependency dashboard

Why

This allows closing unwanted dependency update PRs (like major version updates) without them becoming "immortal" and auto-recreating. The dependency dashboard will still show all updates, including closed ones, so nothing gets lost.

How it works

• Close any unwanted Renovate PRs
• They won't be recreated automatically
• Check the "Dependency Dashboard" issue to see all pending updates
• Manually trigger updates from the dashboard when ready

Review Summary

✅ LGTM - This is a clean, focused configuration change.

Code Quality

• Concise: 2 lines, single purpose - perfect
• Clear intent: The PR description explains the workflow well

Configuration Analysis

• recreateWhen: never - ✅ Prevents auto-recreation of closed PRs
• dependencyDashboard: true - ✅ Maintains visibility of all updates

Considerations

1. Workflow change: Team must now manually trigger updates from the dashboard for closed PRs
2. No security risk: Closed security updates won't auto-recreate - ensure team monitors the dashboard regularly
3. Compatible with extends: These settings correctly override config:recommended

Recommendation

Approve - The configuration is correct and aligns with the stated goal. Just ensure the team is aware they'll need to check the Dependency Dashboard for updates they previously closed.
