The new renovate template is trying to make major updates even on hotfix branches

Fixed via canonical/starflow#161: Renovate now limits hotfix branches to patch, pin, and digest updates while disabling major and minor upgrades. canonical/starbase#237 also adjusted the template.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: The issue was closed after canonical/starflow#161 merged the shared Renovate configuration fix. Starbase commit afb80d1 via canonical/starbase#237 reduced dependency updates targeting hotfix branches.
