Subject: [PATCH 1/4] fix(renovate): auto-merge pip_requirements + document
 org-preset onboarding
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Two related gaps surfaced while auditing why mlx-benchmarks's lockfile and
space/requirements.txt fell years behind on dependency updates:

1. The org renovate-presets had an auto-merge rule for `pep621` (pyproject
   .toml) but no equivalent for `pip_requirements` (requirements.txt). Repos
   like mlx-benchmarks that ship a HuggingFace Spaces requirements.txt would
   accumulate manual-review minor/patch PRs even when the package source is
   already trusted via the org-wide allow-list. Merge the two managers into
   a single rule — they have identical update semantics.

2. There was no documentation telling repo maintainers that Mend's auto-
   generated "Configure Renovate" PR (which scaffolds only `config:recommended`)
   must be edited to extend `local>JacobPEvans/.github:renovate-presets`.
   The audit found 31 of 32 public repos compliant; mlx-benchmarks slipped
   through because the on-board PR was merged without that edit. Result:
   `lockFileMaintenance`, `vulnerabilityAlerts` automerge, the trusted-org
   1-day stabilization, and the 3-day default were all silently disabled
   for that repo. Add a "New repository onboarding" section to CLAUDE.md
   plus the audit one-liner so the same drift is detectable going forward.

The 3-day default / 1-day trusted-org / 0-day vulnerability stabilization
policy itself is unchanged — already correct in renovate-presets.json.

+## New repository onboarding
+
+When Renovate (Mend) is enabled on a new public repo it auto-opens a "Configure
+Renovate" PR that scaffolds a minimal `renovate.json` with only
+`{"extends": ["config:recommended"]}`. **That on-board PR must not be merged
+as-is.** Edit the renovate config to also extend the org preset:
+
+```json
+{
+  "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
+  "extends": [
+    "config:recommended",
+    "local>JacobPEvans/.github:renovate-presets"
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Without `local>JacobPEvans/.github:renovate-presets`, the repo loses
+`lockFileMaintenance`, the trusted-org auto-merge allow-list, the 3-day
+default stabilization, the 0-day `vulnerabilityAlerts` automerge, and every
+custom manager defined in `renovate-presets.json`.
+
+This is verifiable with the audit one-liner:
+
+```sh
+for repo in $(gh repo list JacobPEvans --visibility public --limit 50 --json name --jq '.[].name'); do
+  for f in renovate.json renovate.json5 .github/renovate.json; do
+    body=$(gh api "repos/JacobPEvans/$repo/contents/$f" 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.content // empty' | base64 -d 2>/dev/null) || continue

+    else
+      echo "MISS $repo ($f)"
+    fi
+    break
+  done

+```
+
+Any `MISS` line is a repo that will silently fall behind on dependency
+updates and security patches.
