fix: configure Renovate to ignore github-actions[bot] commits

jdx · claude · jdx · commit 993e7d0bb6f3 · 2025-10-31T09:35:48.000-05:00
Adds gitIgnoredAuthors to allow Renovate to auto-rebase PRs even after the renovate-dist-update workflow adds commits. Without this, Renovate refuses to auto-rebase because it sees commits from an unrecognized author. Also sets rebaseWhen to "conflicted" to prevent infinite rebase loops that can occur when gitIgnoredAuthors is combined with auto-rebasing. This fixes the warning on PRs like #301 where Renovate says it "does not recognize the last commit author". 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
