fix: separate allowedVersions into its own packageRule#8420
Merged
Conversation
Renovate does not allow combining matchUpdateTypes and allowedVersions in the same packageRule. Move the pre-release exclusion filter into a dedicated rule that only uses matchPackageNames + allowedVersions. This fixes the config validation error introduced in #8418.

Pull request overview
Fixes a Renovate config validation error by separating allowedVersions into its own packageRules entry so it no longer conflicts with matchUpdateTypes, while still applying the pre-release filter via Renovate rule merging.
Changes:
- Added a standalone
packageRulesentry applyingallowedVersions: "!/~(alpha|beta|rc)/"to a specific set of packages. - Removed
allowedVersionsfrom the existing patch and minor rules that usematchUpdateTypes.
Add rule #10 to the renovate.json syntax guardrails in copilot instructions, documenting that matchUpdateTypes and allowedVersions cannot be combined in the same packageRules entry. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

PR #8418 introduced
allowedVersionscombined withmatchUpdateTypesin the same packageRule, which Renovate does not allow. This caused a config validation error:Fix
Moved
allowedVersions: "!/~(alpha|beta|rc)/"into a separate packageRule that only usesmatchPackageNames. Renovate merges all matching rules, so the version filter still applies to both patch and minor updates for these packages.Validation
