chore(renovate): ask for full mode from the repository config - #1516
Conversation
The Mend dashboard explains the silence: the ccusage org's Default Engine Settings have `Dependency Updates (Renovate): Silent`, while the repository row itself reads Enabled/activated with jobs completing every few hours. In silent mode renovate does all the work and then creates no branches, pull requests or issues, which is exactly what we saw - a config that validates, a local dry-run that finds 26 updates, and nothing ever appearing. `mode` is not a global-only option, so a repository config may set it. If the platform applies silent as an org default, this overrides it; if it applies it as forced config, only the dashboard toggle will help and this line is inert.

Reviewed changes — adds "mode": "full" to .github/renovate.json so Renovate creates branches and PRs instead of running silently under the Mend org's default "Silent" engine setting.
- Enable
mode: "full"in Renovate repo config — overrides the org-level Silent default so dependency updates appear as PRs. Inert but harmless if Mend enforces Silent at the platform level rather than as a default.

Summary
The Mend dashboard explains the five weeks of silence, and it is not what any of the earlier guesses said. On https://developer.mend.io/github/ccusage:
The repository is enabled and activated, and its job list shows runs completing every few hours (
DONE), including webhook-triggered ones from today's merges. But the org's default engine setting is Silent, and in silent mode renovate does all the work and then creates no branches, pull requests or issues. That matches everything observed: a config that validates, a local--dry-run=fullthat finds 26 pending updates, and nothing ever appearing on the repo.What Changed
Sets
"mode": "full"in.github/renovate.json.modeis not a global-only option, so a repository config is allowed to set it (verified: the validator raises no global-option warning for it in a repo config). If the platform applies silent as an org default, this overrides it. If it applies it as forced config, only the dashboard toggle helps and this line is inert but harmless.The reliable fix is still flipping

Switches
