chore: fix renovate branching
Metadata
Current evaluation
Abandoned after the author realized a misunderstanding of branch protections. Instead of merging, the author proposed granting Renovate special permissions on its own `renovate/*` branches, a solution the reviewer supported.
Suggested action: —
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.
