📄 Description

What changed

Two additions to default.json:

Option	New value	Default	Reason
`prNotPendingHours`	`2`	`25`	Reduces the fallback timeout from 25 h → 2 h. With `prCreation: "not-pending"`, if CI status checks are still pending after this many hours, Renovate creates the PR anyway. 25 h is unreasonably long for most repos.
`suppressNotifications`	`["prIgnoreNotification"]`	`[]`	When a PR is closed manually, Renovate adds a dashboard comment saying it won't recreate it. Since we already have `recreateWhen: "always"`, those messages are misleading noise — suppress them.

Note on `recreateClosed`

The previous session concluded we needed recreateClosed: true. This option no longer exists in Renovate. It was replaced by recreateWhen, and we already have recreateWhen: "always" in the config. That is the correct modern setting.

Complete options audit — everything NOT in `default.json`

This is every option available in the Renovate JSON schema that isn't already configured. Manager-specific options (gradle, maven, terraform, etc.) are omitted since they're only relevant per-repo.

🔥 High-impact options worth considering

Option	Default	Description
`enabledManagers`	all	Allowlist specific package managers. Useful for repos that should only handle e.g. `github-actions` + `dockerfile`.
`ignoreDeps`	`[]`	Blacklist specific dependency names globally.
`ignorePaths`	`[]`	Skip files matching these patterns.
`includePaths`	`[]`	Only process files matching these patterns (allowlist version of `ignorePaths`).
`postUpdateOptions`	`[]`	Post-update actions: `npmDedupe`, `yarnDedupeFewer`, `gomodTidy`, `gomodUpdateImportPaths`, etc.
`postUpgradeTasks`	—	Shell commands to run after branch update. Useful for code-gen or lockfile steps Renovate doesn't know about.
`separateMultipleMinor`	`false`	Like `separateMajorMinor` but for minor streams. Creates separate PRs per `1.x`, `2.x`, etc.
`abandonmentThreshold`	`null`	Flag packages with no releases within this duration as abandoned (e.g. `"2 years"`). Works with the `abandonments:recommended` preset you already extend.
`maxMajorIncrement`	`null`	Cap how many major versions Renovate can jump in a single PR.

🏷️ PR / branch appearance

Option	Default	Description
`draftPR`	`false`	Create all PRs as drafts. Good for human-review-only flows.
`prHeader`	`null`	Text to prepend to every PR body.
`prFooter`	`"This PR was generated by Renovate bot."`	Text appended to every PR body. Can be set to `""` to remove the footer.
`prTitle`	auto	Override the PR title template.
`prTitleStrict`	`false`	Disallow special characters in PR titles.
`branchNameStrict`	`false`	Remove special chars from branch names (keeps only `a-z`, `0-9`, `-`).
`branchPrefix`	`"renovate/"`	Prefix for all branch names. Change to avoid clutter, e.g. `"deps/"`.
`additionalBranchPrefix`	`""`	Extra prefix inserted after `branchPrefix`.
`commitBody`	`null`	Append a body to every commit message, e.g. `"[skip ci]"`.
`commitBodyTable`	`false`	Append a table of all updates to the commit body.
`commitHourlyLimit`	`0`	Limit commits per hour (stricter than `prHourlyLimit` — also covers rebases).
`rebaseLabel`	`"rebase"`	GitHub label that triggers a manual rebase.
`keepUpdatedLabel`	`null`	Label that tells Renovate to always rebase this PR to stay up to date.
`stopUpdatingLabel`	`"stop-updating"`	Label that tells Renovate to stop updating a specific PR.
`pruneStaleBranches`	`true`	(Already default-true) Prune branches with no matching PR. Make explicit if you want to be sure.
`pruneBranchAfterAutomerge`	`false`	Delete the branch after a successful automerge.
`hashedBranchLength`	`null`	Hash branch names that exceed this length. Useful for repo hosts with short branch name limits.

📊 Dashboard customisation

Option	Default	Description
`dependencyDashboardHeader`	default text	Text rendered above the dashboard sections.
`dependencyDashboardFooter`	default text	Text rendered below the dashboard sections.
`dependencyDashboardLabels`	`[]`	Labels to apply to the dashboard issue.
`dependencyDashboardCategory`	`null`	Categorise packages in the dashboard.
`dependencyDashboardReportAbandonment`	`true`	Whether to report abandoned packages in the dashboard.
`customizeDashboard`	`{}`	Override dashboard section headers (e.g. rename "Pending Approval").
`configWarningReuseIssue`	`false`	Reopen the existing config-warning issue instead of creating a new one.

🔔 Notifications

Option	Default	Description
`suppressNotifications`	`[]`	Suppress notification types: `artifactErrors`, `branchAutomergeFailure`, `configErrorIssue`, `dependencyLookupWarnings`, `lockFileErrors`, `missingCredentialsError`, `onboardingClose`, `prEditedNotification`, `prIgnoreNotification`. Adding this PR.
`statusCheckNames`	auto	Rename or add custom status check names on Renovate branches.

🤖 Automerge fine-tuning

Option	Default	Description
`automergeType`	`"pr"`	How automerge works: `"pr"` (merge via GitHub), `"pr-comment"` (trigger via comment), `"branch"` (merge directly without PR).
`automergeStrategy`	`"auto"`	Merge strategy: `"auto"`, `"fast-forward"`, `"merge-commit"`, `"rebase"`, `"squash"`.
`automergeSchedule`	inherits `schedule`	Override schedule specifically for automerge (e.g. merge only during business hours).
`automergeComment`	`"automergeComment"`	Comment text that triggers `pr-comment` automerge type.
`assignAutomerge`	`false`	Also request review before automerging.
`platformAutomerge`	`false`	✅ Already set.

👥 People / reviews

Option	Default	Description
`reviewers`	`[]`	Explicit reviewers (GitHub usernames). Used instead of/alongside `reviewersFromCodeOwners`.
`additionalReviewers`	`[]`	Reviewers added in addition to auto-discovered ones.
`reviewersSampleSize`	`null`	Pick N random reviewers from the pool.
`assignees`	`[]`	Explicit assignees.
`assigneesSampleSize`	`null`	Pick N random assignees.
`ignoreReviewers`	`[]`	Never request review from these users (e.g. bots).
`expandCodeOwnersGroups`	`false`	Expand CODEOWNERS team entries to individual members.
`filterUnavailableUsers`	`false`	Skip users who are marked as unavailable on the platform.

🏗️ Update control

Option	Default	Description
`minimumReleaseAgeBehaviour`	`"timestamp-required"`	When `minimumReleaseAge` is set: `"timestamp-required"` (skip if no timestamp), `"timestamp-optional"` (allow if no timestamp).
`internalChecksAsSuccess`	`false`	Count passing `minimumReleaseAge` checks as a "success" status, so `prCreation: "not-pending"` fires sooner.
`updatePinnedDependencies`	`true`	Whether to update exact pinned versions (e.g. `==1.2.3`).
`updateInternalDeps`	`false`	Update internal monorepo cross-package dependencies.
`followTag`	`null`	Follow a specific dist-tag (e.g. `"latest"`, `"stable"`, `"lts"`).
`extractVersion`	`null`	Regex with a `version` capture group to extract versions from non-standard strings.
`versioning`	auto	Override versioning scheme for a package (e.g. `"semver"`, `"docker"`, `"regex"`).
`versionCompatibility`	`null`	Handle composite version strings like `node:18-alpine` (splits version from compatibility suffix).
`constraintsFiltering`	`"none"`	`"strict"` — filter releases to only those compatible with detected language constraints.
`constraints`	`{}`	Pin specific tool versions Renovate uses (e.g. `{ "node": "18", "python": "3.11" }`).
`registryAliases`	`{}`	Alias private registry URLs (e.g. `{ "my-reg": "https://registry.example.com" }`).
`ignoreDeprecated`	`false`	Skip deprecated package versions.
`ignoreScripts`	`false`	Don't run `npm install` lifecycle scripts during update.
`ignoreTests`	`false`	Ignore test-only dependencies (e.g. `devDependencies` for some managers).
`skipInstalls`	`null`	Skip lock file installation entirely (faster but no lock file updates).
`skipArtifactsUpdate`	`false`	Skip artifact (lock file / checksum) updates.

🔧 Advanced / Custom

Option	Default	Description
`customManagers`	`[]`	Define custom regex managers for files Renovate doesn't natively support. Very powerful.
`customDatasources`	`{}`	Define custom datasources (e.g. query an internal API for available versions).
`logLevelRemap`	`[]`	Remap internal Renovate log levels (useful for debugging).
`bumpVersion`	`null`	Bump the `version` field in `package.json`, `Chart.yaml`, etc. when deps are updated.
`bumpVersions`	`[]`	⚗️ Experimental — bump arbitrary version strings in arbitrary files when a dep is updated.
`groupName`	`null`	Group multiple dependency updates into a single PR.
`groupSlug`	auto	Branch slug for grouped updates.
`groupSingleUpdates`	`false`	Apply group config even when there's only one update.
`minimumGroupSize`	`2`	Don't group unless at least N updates match.
`excludeCommitPaths`	`[]`	Files to exclude from commits (e.g. to prevent lock file commits).
`mode`	`"normal"`	Operation mode: `"normal"`, `"silent"` (no PRs/issues), `"autodiscover"`.
`useBaseBranchConfig`	`"none"`	Merge config from the target base branch: `"none"`, `"merge"`. Useful for multi-branch repos.

`printConfig`	`false`	Log the resolved config to stdout (debugging).
`toolSettings`	`{}`	Pass settings to Renovate's internal tools (e.g. `pip-compile` args).

📦 Update type shorthand objects

These let you configure behaviour for a specific update type without writing packageRules. You already use packageRules for this, which is more flexible — these are alternatives.

Option	Description
`major`	Config applied to all major updates (e.g. `{ "major": { "automerge": false } }`)
`minor`	Config applied to all minor updates
`patch`	Config applied to all patch updates
`pin`	Config applied to all pin updates
`digest`	Config applied to all digest updates
`replacement`	Config applied to all replacement updates
`rollback`	Config applied to all rollback updates

Generated from the Renovate JSON schema v37+ on 2026-06-03. Manager-specific configs (gradle, terraform, npm, docker-compose, etc.) are omitted — they're valid but only relevant when you need to override manager defaults per-repo.
