The `"k8s.io patch updates stable"` rule was missing `separateMinorPatch: true`. With the global `separateMinorPatch: false`, Renovate produces a single PR targeting the latest version when a newer minor is available. That PR is classified as "minor", so `matchUpdateTypes: ["patch"]` never matches, `enabled: true` never fires, and the `"k8s major/minor updates disabled"` rule blocks it — no patch PR is ever created. Add `separateMajorMinor: true` and `separateMinorPatch: true` to the rule, matching the pattern already used for lvh-images and external docker images on stable branches. This forces a separate "patch"-typed PR (staying within the current minor series) which the rule can correctly enable, while the "minor"-typed PR remains blocked as intended.
