# Implementation Plan: Renovate Bot Preset

## Objective
Create a centralized `renovate.json` (or `default.json`) preset in this repository that other projects can easily inherit to get standardized auto-merge and grouping behavior.

## Requirements
- Create a file at `renovate-preset/default.json` (or similar path).
- Configure auto-merge for patch and minor versions of dependencies.
- Enable grouping for monorepo packages (e.g., all `@babel/*` updates grouped into one PR).
- Configure the schedule (e.g., run on weekends or early mornings).
- Configure the severity levels for when notifications/PRs should block.
- Document how other repositories can `extend` this preset in their own `renovate.json` (e.g., `"extends": ["github>my-org/my-repo//renovate-preset"]`).

## Agent Instructions
1. Create the base Renovate configuration file.
2. Add a `README.md` to the `renovate-preset` directory explaining how to use it.
3. **CRITICAL: File Splitting:** Do NOT put everything into one giant file! Split your JSON configurations or manifests into separate, smaller files to prevent exhausting the context window.
