ci: stop Renovate from bumping the CI/release Node version#123
Merged
Conversation
Renovate opened #122 to bump release.yml node-version 22 -> 24, which is exactly what breaks the release (electron-forge 7.11.2 produces no installers under Node 24.x). Disable Renovate node updates for github-actions so the runner Node version stays a deliberate manual choice. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Node 24 is exactly what breaks the release — electron-forge 7.11.2 (latest stable) silently produces no.dmg/.zipunder Node 24.x (fixed in #121 by pinning to Node 22). Without a Renovate rule, it will re-propose this every cycle and a careless merge would re-break releases.This adds a
