Consider allowing renovate to auto-merge PRs without approval
Metadata
Current evaluation
Suggestion to enable Renovate auto-merge for patch updates in starbase. Unlabelled, no maintainer response after 924 days.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue is a valid configuration suggestion with no labels, no comments, and no maintainer response after 924 days. It has not yet been assessed or prioritized by a maintainer. The suggestion is actionable (modify renovate.json5 to enable automerge for patch updates) but requires maintainer decision on whether to adopt it.

starflow#191
(confidence 75%)
starflow#191 was merged and configures PR automerge for patch/dev/internal updates without ignoring tests. starbase extends github>canonical/starflow:renovate.json5, so this may already be inherited or could be addressed by updating the base config reference.
