Tooling Suggestion Checklist
- I have tried restarting my IDE and the issue persists.
- I have pulled the latest
mainbranch of the repository. - I have read and agree to Mocha's Code of Conduct and Contributing Guidelines

faqlabel, but none matched my issue. - I want to provide a PR to resolve this
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
