TICKET: DX-1800
The ticket provides automatic bumping of the BitGo public types dependency, which solves the issue of change lead time.
How the Package Rules Work
This configuration uses a principle of explicitly denying and then allowing updates.
Disable All npm Updates: The first rule with "matchManagers": ["npm"] and "enabled": false acts as a broad sweep. It tells Renovate to ignore all npm dependencies and not to create pull requests for them. This provides a baseline of security by preventing any unexpected or potentially malicious updates from being introduced without approval.
Enable a Specific Package: The second, more specific rule with "matchPackageNames": ["@bitgo/public-types"] and "enabled": true overrides the previous rule. Because Renovate processes rules in order, this rule is applied after the general one. It creates an exception, allowing automated updates only for the @bitgo/public-types package. This ensures that a critical dependency receives timely updates, while all others are manually controlled.
