Merged
Conversation
Adds a reusable workflow that runs renovate-config-validator --strict on a caller-supplied set of config files (defaults to renovate.json), plus a self-caller so this repo dogfoods it against its own renovate.json.

What & why
Adds a shared
reusable-renovate-configworkflow that runsrenovate-config-validator --strictover a caller-supplied list of config files (defaults to the fork's rootrenovate.json).Until now, only
unabandoned/renovate-configvalidated its preset in CI — the individual forks'renovate.jsonfiles were unvalidated. Since these repos are largely bot- and Claude-authored, a malformedrenovate.jsoncould slip in and silently halt Renovate for that fork. This gives every fork a cheap, tokenless guard (the validator checks file structure vianpx; it does not resolve the remote preset, so noRENOVATE_TOKEN/GITHUB_COM_TOKENis required).This repo also dogfoods the workflow against its own
renovate.jsonvia a local./-ref caller, matching the existingcommitlintself-caller pattern.Matching caller branches are opened across the onboarded forks and
