Issue body
The combination of `renovate/*` and `pull_request:` as triggers meant that Renovate PRs would trigger the lint workflow twice.
The main (hypothetical) benefit here would be that Renovate would potentially not create bumping PRs if there were linting errors, but we'd often not want that behavior (e.g., Ruff updates) and it didn't seem to actually do this anyways??
As it stands, it just causes me to have to rerun two workflows instead of only one workflow when there's a flaky failure in our link checker on a Renovate PR.
