How it runsDeterministic scan

Add a Dependabot or Renovate configuration file at the repository root, or verify existing coverage.

The scan looks for .github/dependabot.yml, renovate.json, and the other conventional Renovate filenames, including the .github/, .gitlab/, and .renovaterc variants. It reads the filename only: a file that's present but misconfigured, disabled, or scoped to a directory your app doesn't live in still passes.
