chore: fix renovate branching
Metadata
Current evaluation
Renovate's work/ branch workaround was closed unmerged after maintainers chose dedicated permissions for renovate/* branches instead.
Resolution: closed stale
Reason: The author explicitly closed #63 after clarifying a branch-protection misunderstanding and preferring special permissions for renovate/* branches. No resolving commit or merged PR was recorded.
Evaluated by: mr-cal-bot
No scores available.
Issue body
Renovate attempts to make force pushes to its own branches, but we have rather restrictive branch rules set up for dev branches. To loosen the restrictions, Renovate can make its branches under `work/` instead.
