Tooling Suggestion Checklist

Overview

In some narrow cases, automated PR merging can save time while still being reliable. A "lights-out PR" is one created and merged automatically, without any human input. Mocha should support lights-out PRs in narrow cases like minor version updates to existing dependencies. Humans are still notified of changes as normal, like they're a team member that doesn't need to personally review another team member's changes.

  • All tests must pass
  • Only Renovate-created minor version dependency updates
  • Blocklist certain "grouped" dependencies like Astro
