Pin react to react-native's bundled renderer in Renovate#26
Merged
Conversation
React asserts at runtime that `react` and the `react-native-renderer` bundled inside react-native share an exact version, but react-native only declares a loose peer range, so Renovate happily bumped react past the renderer (19.2.7 vs 19.2.3) and the app crashed at launch. Renovate can't see the bundled renderer version, so stop updating react/react-test-renderer automatically — they're now bumped by hand alongside react-native. @types/react splits out into its own group since it tracks the public API, not the renderer.

Summary
Stops Renovate from bumping
react/react-test-rendererindependently ofreact-native.React asserts at runtime that
reactand thereact-native-rendererbundled insidereact-nativeshare an exact version. Butreact-nativeonly declares a loose peer range (react: ^19.2.3), so Renovate raisedreactto 19.2.7 while the bundled renderer stayed at 19.2.3 — crashing the app at launch (the issue fixed in #25).Renovate can't read the bundled renderer version, so grouping wouldn't help (grouping batches PRs, it doesn't cap versions). Instead:
reactandreact-test-rendererare set toenabled: false— they're now bumped by hand alongside anyreact-nativeupgrade.@types/reactsplits into its own group, since it tracks the public React API (not the renderer) and is safe to update on its own.Validated with
renovate-config-validator(config validated successfully).Test plan
reactbumps;@types/reactand thereact-nativegroup continue to update.
